Tech Giants Reportedly Suppressed Negative Platner

On Thursday evening, following a number of major networks’ refusal to air President Trump’s major speech on election integrity, I wrote about the blatant bias of the legacy media (or “mainstream” or “corporate,” whatever you need to call it) and how they’re actively underinforming — and outright misinforming — the American public. 

Of course, Big Tech is often behind the scenes as effectively, doing its half alongside the conglomerates and the Democrats to put in the big repair.

Think they’ve stopped censoring data as they did obsessively in the COVID period? Think again. Some tech giants are still actively making an attempt to form what you read and what you suppose, and let’s just say, their efforts nearly never benefit the conservative or Republican aspect.

Don’t consider me? Here’s more proof, courtesy of a nonprofit watchdog, the Media Research Center. The story entails an notorious Maine candidate for the United States Senate, Graham Platner, who never would have gotten as far as he did had two extraordinarily influential news aggregation websites not aided and abetted his marketing campaign:

The Media Research Center, in one of its most formidable research to date, discovered that Apple News and Google News, two of the most influential news aggregators, successfully shielded Platner from criticism. MRC data paint a startling image: Apple News and Google News blocked tales about Platner’s mounting scandals from their feeds as he led the polls, silenced right-leaning shops exposing the reality and then opened the floodgates when a Fox News ballot confirmed Republican Sen. Susan Collins defeating Platner for the first time as inappropriate abuse allegations resurfaced.

MRC President David Bozell eviscerated Apple News and Google News in a assertion relating to the disturbing findings: “Apple News and Google News ran a protection racket for Graham Platner,” he said.

The rot was so deep that they didn’t just promote a small quantity of articles about Platner’s ever-expanding scandals during a essential seven-month period — they posted zero.

Apple and Google News confirmed 0 damaging tales about Graham Platner for months — nothing about the Nazi tattoo, the Reddit posts, the racism from his keyboard, his abuse in the direction of girls.

ARBITERS OF TRUTH: GWN Accidentally Tells on Itself, Reveals Why It Didn’t Air Trump’s Speech Live

Enemy of the People: Trump Unloads on Mainstream Media Outlets Who Are Too Cowardly to Even Air His Words

Want some specifics? They’re ugly:

Apple News and Google News ran zero tales from November through May with headlines about Platner’s mounting controversies, including his Nazi tattoo and deleted Reddit posts, in which he called himself a “communist,” denounced America and attacked police. The news blackout started during the Democratic Party major as the first ballot indicated that only Platner would defeat Collins in a hypothetical match-up. The blackout ended only after a May 30 report when sexting allegations got here to mild.

[…]

Apple News and Google News’s efficient shielding of Platner barely ebbed after the first intercourse scandal tales had been printed. The tech titans’ censorship racket then fully collapsed when Fox News polling printed on June 30, 2026, confirmed he would seemingly no longer defeat Collins, with both news aggregators abruptly selling 12 damaging tales about the embattled candidate on July 7 and 8.

Google responded to us saying our methodology was BS, but could not say what was unsuitable about it.

Did they show something to show that they did share damaging tales about Graham Platner? No.@DavidBozell rips Google to shreds for its pathetic response to MRC’s latest report. pic.twitter.com/Bu3S3c2yk5
