Here is modest proof supporting the claims that Google manipulates search results to suit its own purposes. Each of the strings below is looking for “NextGen TV Boston”. My post from yesterday about WCRN appears near the top of the results from both DuckDuckGo and Bing. Google? Nope, nowhere to be found, even when limiting results to the last 24 hours.
