Evol posted... Literally the top result for a baseball player coming out as gay is one catering to homophobes. Again, because Google results are based on popularity of the article/website. When it comes to a news story like this one, a Fox News article taking this news as a "negative" will get more traffic that 1,000 other sites that are all saying the same (positive) thing. It's kind alike how when you google a celebrity, the first result is usually their Wikipedia page, because it's the most popular site people will click on to get info. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ...

HornyLevel posted... A lot of good sources are behind paywalls, which rank lower.Yeah, this is another issue, which ties back into the right-wing having far more money to throw around. Most of the reputable news outlets are paywalled, which limits their reach. However, right-wing outlets tend to be free and open to all, which of course goes far towards spreading their rhetoric to the masses. --- 11/8/2022 - The day the Blue Wall intercepted the Red Wave. ...
