He found it in a segment from the Lou Dobbs program on the Fox Business Network. And without bothering to confirm the ludicrous assertions in the clip, Trump tweeted out that:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;.results on \u201cTrump News\u201d are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google &amp; others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can &amp; cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1034456281120206848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, that is all Grade A bunk that has no basis in fact. The Republican controlled Congress even held hearings to ascertain whether the Internet and social media were employing any tactics to inject political bias into what are supposed to be neutral search results and news feeds. They found nothing. Instead, they reaffirmed that the algorithms used by tech companies are not based on ideology, but that they respond to what people want to see.<\/p>\n<p>However, that didn&#8217;t stop Trump from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCPolitics\/status\/1034522057210560512\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">threatening Google<\/a><\/strong> Tuesday morning. And it didn&#8217;t stop Dobbs from spewing demonstrably false charges against Google and others along with his guest experts on media and technology, Diamond &#038; Silk. This dynamic duo has been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=37662\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">squealing about imaginary censorship<\/a><\/strong> for months. The exchange they had with Dobbs was an exercise in how to dumb down America on what is supposed to be a financial news channel (video below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Dobbs:<\/strong> I take it that you&#8217;re not surprised that Google is sort of banning conservatives from their search results with President Trump?<br \/>\n<strong>Diamond:<\/strong> No, it&#8217;s not surprising. And to us it looks like it&#8217;s tyranny. You have these media outlets, along with Google, taking and they&#8217;re suppressing voices of conservatives. Not only that but they&#8217;re thumbing down our pages where we can&#8217;t see President Trump&#8217;s content or good news about what&#8217;s going on in this country when it comes to this president. And I am not for big government, but I really do believe that the government should step in and really check this out. Because this is, again, the sort of [inaudible] of tyranny. We don&#8217;t need dictatorship. We don&#8217;t need people controlling what we can and cannot see.<br \/>\n<strong>Silk:<\/strong> And this also look like a form of political lynching. Insteading of using the news, what they are doing is using algorithms and a form of censorship to Trump people&#8217;s platforms out, to keep you from being able to do your search whenever you want to search for our beautiful president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notice that Dobbs began with a matter of fact statement that Google is <em>&#8220;banning conservatives&#8221;<\/em> even though he has no facts to support that charge. And his Looney Tunes guests join the choir with even more  extremist banter about tyranny and dictatorship and lynching and the deflowering of <em>&#8220;our beautiful president.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>Dobbs went on to charge that Google&#8217;s search technology has become shallow and political. Then he complains about the <em>&#8220;deep, profound concentration of wealth&#8221;<\/em> and the <em>&#8220;deep, profound concentration of political power.&#8221;<\/em> Which is a position that would delight America&#8217;s socialists and critics of income inequality. Except that Dobbs is only applying this rhetoric to those who he perceives as foes of the President and the ultra-rightist agenda he represents.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, these stalwart defenders of conservative values are pushing for the government to stomp its boot down on the Internet&#8217;s defilers of Trumpian goodness. Never mind that the First Amendment prohibits the regulation of speech by private companies. The Constitution is an impediment to the propagandist objectives of Trump and Fox News. They can&#8217;t merely dismiss their hypocrisy by claiming to be against big government while advocating for such regulations. Even Trump&#8217;s chief economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markknoller\/status\/1034429503911677953\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">warned<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re taking a look at it,&#8221;<\/em> And the one policy measure they could pursue that would prevent bias by anyone, would be the one they are affirmatively trying to kill: Network Nuetrality.<\/p>\n<p>But while pounding on the political oppression by the enemies of Trumpism, at least Dobbs is comforted by the presence of Trump saying that <em>&#8220;If we didn&#8217;t have a president like this one I don&#8217;t know where we&#8217;d be.&#8221;<\/em> Then Dobbs contradicts the whole premise of the segment by noting that Trump <em>&#8220;has his own access to the American people&#8221;<\/em> via social media. So he&#8217;s now arguing that Trump and his confederates are enjoying unprecedented success getting their message out. So where the hell is the alleged censorship?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vq1mp-YrtBk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s put to rest the notion that Donald Trump regards himself as an icon of strength and triumph.
