Ajwf, who searches for "barack obama winking" or "bill clinton wallpaper"? Why is "google.com"
such a popular query? People search for stupid things. When negative queries are popular, and removed from suggestions as as result of automatic filtering, then these stupid things are more likely to appear as well.
Look, I definitely agree Hillary Clinton and her supporters have manipulated the media throughout her campaign. She is their ideal candidate from the Democratic Party. But given enough time I could form an argument with substantial support of this claim. I would have to go through articles from periods of the campaign showing how she was the entire focus, how her competition (other than Biden, who never even ran) were completely ignored early on, how her flaws were whitewashed/glossed over, etc. But given enough time, I could do it.
However, the Google/Clinton search suggestion theory is most definitely not true. Simply because the theory aligns with certain views about Clinton (her corporate sponsors manipulate media), it is quickly accepted regardless of the flimsy and unsubstantial evidence. And rather than reject this theory, extreme measures are taken to claim it's true. The evidence from my 'experiment', in its entirety, does not support the claim. Citing single queries is no more useful than citing certain days to prove or disprove climate change.
I find it disappointing how the video was taken as truth across the internet communities I visit, especially when a remotely reasonable attempt at an objective analysis could be performed in an evening and shown how wrong it is. There are actual reasons to dislike Hillary Clinton; this is not one of them.
