Google, Google, Pants on Fire

As Google CEO Sundar Pichai prepares to perjure himself before House Judiciary Committee by saying Google has no bias, the following screenshot is an example of such bias in the Google search engine:

The screenshot of Alexa info shows that Google sends to Vox 37% of its outside traffic, but only 12% to Breitbart. In the absence of bias, both numbers would likely be close.

There are nuances, which increase disparity. See Google’s search bias against conservative news sites, quantified, published in WUWT in September 2017.
