All hail Big Browser for their latest innovation to help web readers navigate to the information they are looking for.
Let’s say a young reader has heard the Daily Caller mentioned in mixed company. They make a mental note about checking it out later that day.
They do an internet search on the search engine that’s been force fed to them, pre-installed as a favorite site by the computer manufacturer that Google has paid off.
They type in The Daily Caller.
What comes up? Here, look. This is a screen shot of 4 separate search engine queries.
What’s that “reviewed claims” bit?
That’s the new service! It alerts the reader that the site they are about to go to is untrusted because they are purveyors of FAKE NEWS!!!!
Researchers have combed through the sites and have found stories that didn’t pass their fact-checking team, SNOPES, and tagged them (tainted them) with the fake news brush.
(Don’t be fooled. This is simply the prelude to dissuading advertisers from doing business on any of these sites because it would be “embarrassing” to have their wares on such “questionable” sites.)
The Daily Caller did some research of their own. They’ve found ONE, count it, ONE left-wing site that had the “reviewed claims” tag on it- The Democrat Underground.
This means the left, 99.999% of the time, does not have false claims, stories, assertions, analysis, pictures or videos on their sites. It’s all as pure as the driven snow.
RachelMaddow.com has no reviewed claims, even though her site peddled forged documents as a news story and later had to retract. No mention of that whatsoever for the reader getting search engine hits on stories about politics.
I can see this service being helpful. If they say negative I will see positive. Should be a real time saver.
The Sheeepole will eat what they are fed !
Looks like time for another browser. Google is the dark side.
They’re trying to destroy the sites by taking away their means of survival. Ad revenue and access. I haven’t used google products in a long time because of this.
I stopped using google more then a year ago. Their company motto “first do no evil” is a pile of crap, they (actually Aplphabet Inc) are about the most evil company out there. Hell, they even beat MicroSoft. I currently use firefox, duckduckgo or bing even though they are a lttle less smooth.
Google could really help out readers of IOTWR by summing up this site for them.
DuckDuckGo! Ask Dianny!
I used duckduckgo or bing.
I DON’T use Firefox since their board of directors fired their CEO because he donated to a “traditional marriage” something-or-other.
