Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was terrified to hear of renowned Dr. Robert Epstein’s study uncovering Google's election interference and censorship.
On the Oct. 22 edition of the RFK Podcast, Kennedy learned from Epstein about Alphabet's attempt to influence the upcoming presidential election through its search engine Epstein is widely celebrated for his research involving big tech censorship, influence, and monopolization.
Epstein began the conversation by sharing how Google’s homepage disproportionately incentivizes Democrats to vote and warned of the control this gives it. “They’re sending out various kinds of vote reminders—register to vote, mail in your ballot, go vote—to Democrats at about two and a half times they’re doing to Republicans,” he told Kennedy. “Now think about that. Think how that impacts the vote over time, that’s why Google can control so many votes”
Kennedy inquired about methods Google employs to impact the thinking of undecided voters during an election year. Epstein shared the disturbing reality. “The one way they do it is by censorship. In other words, they suppress content and again, you don't know what they don't show,” he said.
Kennedy shared recent research Epstein had exposed to the public from a study done on Google’s bias: “A Google search suggestion can shift undecided voters' opinions from a 50/50 split to almost 90/10, all without user awareness. That is terrifying. That is the end of democracy” Epstein followed this comment by sharing the minimum it could influence voters, stating: “So 4% is the absolute bare minimum that Google alone can shift without anyone knowing.”
This research Epstein and Kennedy cite is directly from his testimony on December 13, 2023, before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights.
MRC released a study on Oct. 15 that put this to the test. The results were disturbing. They displayed Google’s bias as the tech giant buried former President Donald Trump’s campaign website under an array of news stories by leftist outlets. On the contrary, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign website came first in results, any conservative media did not appear until page eight of the results.
Epstein shifted the conversation to Google’s subsidiary, YouTube, which reaches an audience of over 120 million users daily. “Google has admitted that 70% of the content people watch on YouTube has been recommended by their algorithm,” Epstein said. He then warned about the particular danger it poses to a younger audience, unaware of the attempt to persuade their thinking.
Epstein once more made the glaring connection between Google and the Democratic party clear. “These people, by the way, are very determined—Google more than the other companies because Google has a very very strong progressive left culture,” he shared, going on to share the disturbing metrics regarding political donations coming from Google employees. “More than 96% of their donations go from their employees go to Democrats.”
