So this is crazy in terms of @googlepubpolicy suppression (and in light of news from the NYT that the WHO is basically full of shit).

In April, WHO took a few minutes to remind the world how helpful abortion would be during the pandemic. We covered it, straight up and down.
.@MaryMargOlohan wrote the story, here's the link which I couldn't fit in the last tweet. dailycaller.com/2020/04/04/who…
When you scoop the entire headline and search it in @Google word-for-word, the search behemoth directs you straight to WHO's readout on abortion. Top result.

We are nowhere on the front page.
When you put the headline inside quotes, thus searching for matches to the EXACT phrase, you get a readout of WHO's abortion position AND an aggregator called "NewsBreak" that posts the first graf of our story and a link back.
Then there's the SEO headline. It's a field in wordpress that Google's crawler specifically targets in order to match exact or close searches.

FULL PAGE of pro-abortion advocacy read outs.
Chuck the SEO headline in quotes, searching for exact matches. Top match is an aggregated piece that takes bits from ours (with attribution) on a site called (lol) "NewsOrb360"
I should mention that the newsbreak piece doesn't even lead to our site. It links back to an outlet that has a syndication agreement with us. tennesseestar.com/2020/04/06/wor…
All this to say, two things are clear to me through these searches:

1. There's anecdotal evidence that Google is promoting pro-abortion content.

2. If aggregators not big enough to hit Google's radar are superceding us on our own content ... (in fact we don't even make pg 10)
... then whatever it is that's suppressing us is NOT algorithmic. We've been added to some list that deranks us from front page (and several pages after) search results.

It might be algorithmic after the addition, but the addition is some kind of human intervention.
For those who are interested, here is the link to and key quote from the NYT story.
And let’s not forget when YouTube (and in part Facebook) pledged to ban content that “directly contradicts World Health Organization (WHO) advice.”

Lol, the NYT literally published yesterday that WHO’s “advice” was in some ways suspect.
For reference to what it looks like with algorithms that have no direct human intervention, here's DuckDuckGo and Bing.
lol, here's Yandex
A @google-r responded. More here from our in house dev.

There is so much euphemism, coded language and obfuscation in these two @AP paragraphs that a casual reader would have no idea what’s at stake is chemical castration of and grown men exposing themselves to children.

That’s literally what this is about Image
They want YOU to be SUPPORTIVE of these things. They want to HIDE the reality of these things from YOU, and make YOU feel BAD for opposing them. Don’t let dishonest media outlets mislead you.
Do you want to “restrict the rights of transgender people” = Do you oppose mutilating and chemically castrating children? Do you oppose exposing children to public acts of indecency and sexual deviancy? If you oppose these things, AP wants you to think it’s “restricting rights”

The censorship machine is gearing up hard to come at @libsoftiktok. The simple fact is when prominent disseminators of info cover the weird shit you are doing with kids, it’s the weird shit that’s earning you the attention, NOT the people covering it! Image
It only took three tweets. People calling for ruthless censorship of the opposition also calling other people nazis, who’d’ve thunk?!

This person works at Harvard’s “Cyber Law” center btw, which is a euphemistic name for a place that specializes in secreting discourse policing. Image
Wild thought, but: Maybe stop doing weird shit with kids. Maybe that’s the problem. Stop covering your tracks with shitty euphemisms like “gender affirming care.” Stop encouraging them to exclude their parents. Stop giving them body altering hormones. Stop urging surgery.

Good moment to remind people:

- Blunt force will just make pits and other types of dogs rage harder.

- Dogs can be choked out. Seriously. If you see someone getting attacked, get in there and rob the dog of air. It’ll pass out.
Other weak points of attack if you’re ever in this situation: Legs and ribs break easily. Eyes.

But these are for if the situation is truly dire.

Lived in some fucked up places in my time, sometimes you gotta be ready for the extraordinary.
Most people are really scared of getting bit, so they do what this guy did and stand off striking.

It. Won’t. Work.

Get in there and grip up his head. Game over.

“This is not about CRT, this is more about equity.” Is perhaps among the more dissonant interpretations of policy.
Big red flag too when media is basically in lockstep telling parents that what they’re seeing — racial affinity groups, racial “equity” initiatives that openly discriminate — and say “actually this is not CRT.”

They’re speaking past parents, deliberately, to obfuscate.
Reporters latch on to this technicality, at best, to summarily dismiss the concerns of parents and, at worst, to cast them as white identitarians.

(Never mind that liberal “equity” policies that openly discriminate based on race are unpopular in general.)

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more shameless treatment. This is basically left wing oppo wholesale. nytimes.com/2021/10/27/us/…
They open the story by basically attacking the mother and her child, who is now an adult and working in politics. It's truly fucking disgusting.
And then there's this recurring gaslight from left wing outlets.

If they're separating kids and teachers into "racial affinity groups" for instruction, if they're doing privilege walks, if they're discussing "whiteness" or "white privilege" as concepts, THEY'RE TEACHING CRT!

This seems super ominous, but all it boils down to is AT&T giving OAN a DirectTV contract not unlike the contracts it gives the “7 or 8” other lefty outlets, among them MSNBC, a network that actively helped whip the public into a frenzy of fire last summer reuters.com/investigates/s…
I know that wider media would never admit it and would find the idea utterly hilarious, but objectively, MSNBC puts out as much misinfo and invective as any other network, OAN included. It’s just that they are part of the media majority, and so they escape similar scrutiny.
You don’t end up with a MAJORITY of self identified democrat Americans believing in mid 2017 that Putin flipped actual vote tallies w/o the likes of MSNBC (and CNN) stoking election conspiracies.
