Google Accused of Anti-Romney Bias

(Thursday, October 11th, 2012)

Is Google showing its liberal bias when its image search for “completely wrong” yields photo of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney? Actually, no, the company said: it’s based on comments Romney made last week.

Google said that the unintentional result happened because the Google algorithm was fed Romney comments last week about how he was “completely wrong” when he said earlier this year at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans were “victims” dependent on the government, according to CNN. The algorithm associates popular news headlines with their images, and hence the “completely wrong” search term gained traction.

“Clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you’re going to say something that doesn’t come out right,” Romney said last week after the secret video of the comments were leaked to the public. “In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.”
