to prove a fact during a political argument with my conservative mother, i googled the topic and pointed out the 7 webpages at the top of the list that confirmed my statement.... she told me google was a left wing conspiracy...

that's how brilliant they are. even the 1 most place everyone else goes to verify/fact check what they hear.. is going to tell what you heard from this right wing media outlet is less than true, but only because of its obvious liberal bias.

It's a well known fact that reality has a liberal bias.

It also helps that Beck has explicitly added Google to his conspiracy theories.

But yeah, it's really really insidious how they've weaponized people's natural confirmation bias into a paranoid delusion of persecution when anyone presents information that conflicts with their preconceived notions.
