Conservatives think the Internet is biased against them, Google says it's the algorithm

I know that if you put the same string of characters, say 'QWERTY123456BLAHBLAHBLAH.COM' on every site, on all social media, everywhere you go... eventually, spiders and indexers will eventually register what you say as spam and not host your results on search engines.

Meanwhile, conservatives call everything they don't like "SOCIALISM" and "LIBTARD"

Did conservatives stop to think that maybe there isn't some George Soros conspiracy against them and maybe the indexers just saw a broken record?

It doesn't take the CEO of Google to explain that hate has a conservative bias to them. If you wake up everyday thinking that everyone else is an asshole, then you're the asshole. You don't have to be a statistical analyst to figure that one out.

I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias.

On the same occasion Cobert also said of the G. W. Bush administration:

Over the last five years, you people were so good—over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn't want to know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out, [...] And then you write, [...] "Oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

That pretty much sums up the current administration, too!

I must respond.

I have to admit that the charges are all true.

Yup, I am biased against conservatives.
Conservatives lie and cheat and they post a lot of racist shit on me that makes me look bad.
They're hanging with Nazis now.
And the porn.
Boy, do they love porn.
So much porn that even I need a break from it.

You know me, ever since I was invented by Al Gore I've been pretty open to all sorts of ideas but it's time to draw the line.

Yeah, I'm making conservatives look bad now but I'm only letting people find the stuff they say and do easier.
If they didn't want to look so bad they would not say or do these things and just stick to their porn.

Just wanted to let you know.
I've got to get back to work now.
A million humans need to prove to me they are not robots.
