I’m sure that the response of New Hampshire’s free-marketeers to this post would be something along the lines of … Google is a private company and as such has an absolute right to bias its search results any way it wishes, … has an absolute right to employ as may ex-CIA as it wants … if you don’t like it, build your own Google, … blah, blah, blah.
The reality, however, is that Google is a monopoly that has the ability to sway elections AND is being run by ex-CIA, AND rigging elections is exactly what Google (and other Big-Tech except for Elon) is doing.
Google’s algorithm (I don’t even know if that is the correct term) is weighted to disproportionately produce “news” from the hard-Left such as the New York Times and CNN. And as I discussed in a recent post:

America does NOT have a functional democracy because of government censorship.
Here is the data that shows the bias:

Even more ominous is that Google (and Facebook) is run by ex-CIA. But just keep pretending “land of the free,” that America is not a Police State, that our elections aren’t rigged, etc., etc., etc.:
1. 🧵Google & Meta function as extensions of the US Intelligence Community. With Jacqueline Lopour, Google's Head of Trust & Safety, and Aaron Berman, Meta's Head of Elections Content/Misinformation Policy, both being career CIA officers, it underscores the CIA's substantial… https://t.co/LdxZLGfekv pic.twitter.com/SpDlz5AGBj
