In episode #2686, we delve into the issue of political bias in Google News and its implications on the information people consume. We refer to a study conducted by AllSides, revealing that 61% of the articles on Google News originate from left-leaning news websites, while only 3% come from right-leaning websites. We express our concern about the absence of neutrality in the algorithms and AI that dictate the content users encounter, highlighting the potential for censorship and control of information.
