1. You type something into Google you want to know about, like maybe your name.
2. A wealthy personal assistant, paid by the Democratic Party, looks it up for you, and types out a results page, but only after checking the current list of priorities and political agendas.
3. You click on the first thing you see.
4. You get all angry and shit.

(15,703 posts)Most of my "friends" are righties and I get a lot of requests to find out it something is still made, how much etc.
The concept of typing in "2007 Silverado throttle position sensor" totally escapes them.

(45,380 posts)since reality has a well known liberal bias. Same with Snopes, and most scientists, economists, and universities. All part of our vast liberal conspiracy.

(14,164 posts)Now no one is saying Wikipedia is the end all and be all for truth. But it is usually accurate for the most part. As well most entries have footnotes at the bottom that links to other credible sources for any information given.
But that isn't good enough for conservatives who had to start their very own Conservapedia. Where on it they deny Obama was born in Hawaii for instance.
Righties convince themselves that there is this massive conspiracy against them..So they cheat and lie and steal their way into power without remorse. I'm sure some think that that makes it balance out somewhat. No one has explained though how even though they hold all branches including the SCOTUS, yet there is this Democratic controlled "Deep State" that is running around Washington puling some kind of magical strings that are immune to the oversight of the White House, the Senate, the House, and directors of the FBI, the CIA, and AG, all of which are appointed Republicans.
They can't admit that what is really conspiring against them are simply facts.

Type in their search parameters. I like using the shorten link command to result in something like this:

They say the MSM has to be Liberal because they always cover the bad things they do and not the good things they do.
The problem for the GOP is that they DONT typically do good things that people like. Therefore there is more negative news about them.
Its not that the media are liberal. They cover the news.
The DEVIL does not get positive coverage like God.
The Grinch does not get positive coverage like Santa Claus.
They just dont understand this.

(2,275 posts)is sacred and wouldnt have any collateral damage if everyone were EQUALLY obnoxious. Googling (and Duck Duck Going, and journalists, etc.) reveals that their behavior has consequences.
The problem is that too many Republicans have gotten very, very wealthy by cutting wages and cheating on their taxes, etc. And this excess blood-wealth has begun to buy elections via Citizens United, gerrymandering, etc.
Our goal, as members of DU, should not just involve raging at the news we feature, but to stand up for a better America. We ALLOWED the uncivilized Reagan-Bush-Trump crime modality to emerge precisely when the country had begun to do well economically and attain some token legislation on civil rights and the environment. We fell asleep at the wheel. We got lazy. We even began to capitulate to the Wall Street crooks.
We must, and will, do better. If Republicans cry elitist liberals I say own the label. Tell them Thank you, I refuse to live in the moral gutter and ruin our planet.

(11,512 posts)They absolutely can't stand accurate reporting on their scams and misdeeds, so they cry discrimination. If they weren't such sellouts to the extremist billionaires, at the expense of everyone else, they would receive more and favorable press, which the search engines would reflect.
