Whistleblowng Google engineer accuses company of intentional bias against Trump, Republican Party

A Google software engineer identified as Greg Coppola has revealed in an explosive video released by Project Veritas on Wednesday about how his company is biased against President Donald Trump and the Republican party.

According to Coppola who has been in the employ of Google since 2014, his superiors have been dishonest about the neutrality of their search algorithms.

In the video interview, Coppola who accused his employers of being politically partisan towards the Democratic Party says Google employees heavily favour the opposition party in their political donations.

He said; “Google News is really an aggregator of just a handful of sites and all of those sites really are vitriolically against President Trump, which I would really consider to be interference in the American election.

“Like for example, CNN is the most commonly used source in Google News: 20 percent of all results for Donald Trump are from CNN, when that’s the entire internet of millions of sites.”

“CNN is something that Donald Trump and his supporters would call ‘really fake news,'” the software engineer rightly noted.

“I think it’s ridiculous to say that there’s no bias. I think everyone who supports anything other than the Democrats — anyone who’s pro-Trump or in any way deviates from what CNN and The New York Times are pushing — notices how bad it is,” Coppola says.

The latest revelation of the Google engineer confirms the results of an unscientific test on Google News bias run by PJ Media editor Paula Bolyard last year and tweeted out by Trump.

Google has yet to react to Coppola’s confession as at the time of filing this reports even as the CEO of the search engine giants, Sundar Pichai has consistently denied allegations regarding bias.
