<strong>New Delhi</strong>: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday took an aim at Google for ‘being rigged for conservative voices’. He accused the giant search engine platform for showing negative results about him. Warning the search engine, Trump said that it is a very serious situation and it will be addressed. Expressing his annoyance over the critical news stories about his presidency, Trump lashed out on Twitter saying: “They have it rigged, for me and others, so that almost all stories & news is bad.” Claiming that Google is unfair to Republican or the Conservative, he said: “Republican/Conservative and Fair Media is shut out.” He said: “96% of Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the reporting of ‘fake news media’. In other words Fake CNN is prominent, results on “Trump News” are from national left-wing media, very dangerous.” He said Google is suppressing the conservative voices : “Google and others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media.
