The death of a one-time search engine: One of the countless ways that google, instead of providing information, lies to the public

By Nicholas Stix

One of the countless ways that google, instead of providing information, lies to the public

Earlier today, someone at twitter re-posted a video of a delaware congressman saying that supporters of the President are “weird and bizarre.”

I looked up "What is Sarah McBride's real name?" Here's what I got: 1.42 million hits.

sarah mcbride birth name

Without answering my query, google continued right along,

"People also ask
"What is Sarah McBride's real name?"

Clearly, users frequently ask this question. google answered itself,

"Sarah Elizabeth McBride (born August 9, 1990) is an American politician, serving as the U.S. representative for delaware's at-large congressional district, author, and lgbtq rights activist."

So, the search engine, and one-time source of information, refused to answer my question, and stonewalled me, acting as if McBride were born a female, named "Sarah Elizabeth McBride."

google's Gauleiter know exactly what I and millions of other users are looking for, but they have programmed their machine to lie to us.

So, I go the extra mile: "What is Sarah McBride's birth name?"

"Sarah Mcbride birth name"
"tiktok"
"https://www.tiktok.com › discover"

"related to Sarah Mcbride birth name. what is Sarah McBride's birth name? Sarah McBride just became the first out trans state senator in the U.S. watch her ..."

google refuses to answer my question. Instead, it just changes the subject.

Oh, by the way, his birth and real name is Tim McBride.

And the networks(plus others in print)get their info from Google and other sites(WAPO,NYtimes)that act like pencil erasers to remove F A C T S from the public domain.

I've been running test questions on google AI and the results are predictable. Ask: 'Is artificial intelligence woke"? Answer is that it's not. Ask if the media hides downplays black crime. Answer is no.

Of course, AI does not think, it's only drawing on what humans have written and posted online and most of it clearly leans toward woke ideology, so AI gives you woke answers. Like wikipedia, its OK for general information but if you want truth about social questions, you're going to get lies.

They never admit they have an agenda. One of ass(ociated)press' banners,when you click their site is:"news reporting with no agenda".

They lie about that before you even get to the stories.
"No agenda" except to call President Trump by his last name without mentioning the office,accuse him of lying/having no proof of what he's saying etc etc.

JOHN LODGE,OF THE MOODY BLUES,"RIDES (HIS) SEE- SAW" FOR THE LAST TIME; HE PASSES FROM CANCER AT 82 AS ANOTHER WHITE BITES THE DUST

(NY Times)John Lodge, who brought supple bass lines, soaring falsetto harmonies and deft songwriting to the British rock group the Moody Blues as it moved from its R&B roots toward a lush, symphonic sound as pioneers of progressive rock, has died at 82.

His family confirmed the death in a statement on Friday but did not cite a cause or say where or when he died. The statement said Mr. Lodge “has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us.”

During their creative peak starting in the psychedelic era, the Moody Blues helped redefine the parameters of rock with sweeping experimental albums like “Days of Future Passed” (1967), which is considered one of rock’s first concept albums.

While their expansive sound was a far cry from standard Top 40 fare, the group scored several hits, including the melancholy “Tuesday Afternoon,” which made it to No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968; the haunting “Nights in White Satin,” which shot to No. 2 in the United States; and “I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band),” an up-tempo rocker from 1973 written by Mr. Lodge, which landed at No. 12.

The Moody Blues formed in industrial Birmingham, England, in 1964. Moving to London, the band notched their first hit, “Go Now,” which the American soul singer Bessie Banks had recorded that same year. Boosted by the kind of promotional film that would later be known as a music video, the song soared to No. 1 in Britain and cracked the Top 10 in the United States.

The momentum did not last. Discouraged by lackluster sales of the group’s 1965 debut album, “The Magnificent Moodies,” and wearying of a crushing touring schedule, the guitarist and singer Denny Laine (later of Paul McCartney’s band Wings) and the bassist Clint Warwick eventually peeled off. They were replaced in 1966 by Mr. Lodge and Justin Hayward, to round out a lineup that included Mike Pinder on keyboards, Graeme Edge on drums and Ray Thomas on flute and vocals.

GRA:"Ride My See Saw" was one of my faves,along with "Tuesday Afternoon" and of course,"Nights In White Satin". They made some great and not so great music,but overall,an excellent band. We have NOTHING like them today.
