New York Democrats Push for Radical Change to 'Equal Rights'

Google is at it again, forcing users to dig through 13 pages of search results before finally finding a story by Fox News in one search, and 14 pages before finding a story by the New York Post in another. These two results were the first U.S.-based right-of-center publications in two separate searches using the leftist search platform. Is Google living up to former President Donald Trump’s accusations of election interference?  Using the media list provided by AllSides that classifies publications based on their “right” to “left” bias, MRC researchers found that tech giant Google blanketed search results for “kamala harris presidential race 2024” and “donald trump presidential race 2024” with leftist, legacy media sources like CNN, The New York Times, NBC News and Politico. On Oct. 1, MRC researchers did not find any U.S.-based “lean-right” media outlets until Fox News appeared as the fifth result on the 13th page of Google search results for the aforementioned Harris search prompt. Likewise, Google buried the first U.S.-based “lean right” result for the aforementioned Trump prompt as the third result on the 14th page, as Google featured an article by the New York Post. This overt leftist bias is especially concerning considering that according to a November 2023 Pew Research survey, a rising number of American adults receive their news from search. The study found that 15 percent of U.S. adults prefer to get their news from search engines which is up from 13 percent in 2022 and 11 percent in 2021. Equally concerning, the Google search results are not only filled with radical leftist websites such as Vox and Al Jazeera, but also include publications owned and supported by wealthy Democrats. Billionaire and Amazon owner Jeff Bezos also owns The Washington Post. SalesForce CEO and longtime Harris donor Marc Benioff owns Time magazine. FactCheck.org—a member of the George Soros-funded Poynter Institute’s International Fact-Checking Network—appeared before any U.S.-based sources on the right, as determined by AllSides.  Google did display a U.K.-based “lean right” website earlier in its results. However, the search giant even buried the U.K.-based outlet The Telegraph on the 10th page of the Harris prompt search results and on the seventh page of the Trump prompt search results. An earlier MRC study showed extraordinary bias in Google search results, revealing that the search engine had forced users trying to find the Trump campaign’s website to wade through a gauntlet of leftist articles before reaching it. Following the MRC study, Trump condemned Google’s behavior in a post on Truth Social, vowing legal action in a potential second administration. Google, on the other hand, absurdly tried to dismiss the study.  Now MRC has caught them again, but Google has a long record of bias and election interference dating back to 2008. Before Google began making users run the gauntlet of negative coverage to see the Trump campaign’s website, the search engine frequently buried the former president so far down that it did not appear on the first page of results. Google did this during the Republican National Convention and ahead of the July presidential debate between Trump and Biden. Google also did this while Trump was in the news due to a guilty verdict following Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politicized prosecution of him.  This is just one of a myriad of ways that Google has interfered in American elections on behalf of its favored candidates. In fact, Google meddled in American elections no fewer than 41 times from 2008 to 2024, including by burying 83 percent of the Republican campaign websites for the most competitive Senate races of 2022. Methodology  For this report, MRC Free Speech America analyzed the Oct. 1 Google search results of the innocuous words “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024.” MRC Free Speech America utilized a VPN and private window utilizing the Brave privacy browser to analyze Google search results to limit the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies. MRC Free Speech America also utilized the AllSides media bias chart as a gauge to determine which outlets are “right” and “lean right.” AllSides notes it has a “patent on rating bias and use[s] multiple methodologies,” not a homogenous group or an algorithm. “Our methods are: Blind Bias Surveys of Americans, Editorial Reviews by a multipartisan team of panelists who look for common types of media bias, independent reviews, and third party data.” Readers should be aware that this report only uses the AllSides list to analyze ratings of outlets considered by AllSides to be “right” and “lean right” and does not necessarily reflect MRC’s characterizations of these outlets.

A Democrat senator with an anti-free speech ax to grind is once again attempting to trigger Big tech-government collusion just before the 2024 elections. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) insisted that President Joe Biden’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) coordinate more with social media platforms to crush alleged election “disinformation,” in a Sept. 26 letter to CISA director Jen Easterly. CISA was one of the notorious federal agencies exposed by the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit as working with tech companies on censoring free speech. Warner claimed now is “an opportune moment to ramp up such collaborations” with Big Tech. Big Brother approves. Warner wrote at length whining about alleged “disinformation,” including AI-generated Joe Biden messages and supposed Russian influence campaigns. His censorship aims became particularly clear as he urged First Amendment-violating coordination. “Within the vein of collaborative efforts, I also encourage CISA to work closely with all relevant parties, including academics and researchers, state and local officials, and private sector entities (such as technology companies and social media platforms) in an effort to increase information sharing,” he wrote.  He continued to hammer the proposal of increased government pressure to silence Americans. “I strongly encourage the agency to again coordinate efforts with platforms to combat election disinformation,” he pontificated. “In an election cycle where threats persistently grow but some platforms are dedicating fewer resources towards election integrity and content moderation efforts.” Warner even suggested CISA should be the middle-man for “facilitating communication between election offices and platforms,” allowing a triumvirate of Big Tech-government-election official censors targeting supposed “misleading information,” especially AI content. Warner has a track record not only of urging for government-tech censorship collusion, but also of falsely labeling users as Russian “disinformation” spreaders. For instance, in 2017, he aggressively urged tech companies like Twitter to censor alleged Russian disinformation, and lawmaker pressure ultimately contributed to Americans being wrongly censored as supposed Russian-affiliated users, according to the Twitter Files. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

On September 27, ICE revealed that it estimates there are roughly 13,000 non-citizen murderers running loose in the country, but of the three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks only NBC found time to mention it on the September 27 Nightly News and on Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press. It should be noted the mention on Meet the Press (made by Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute) was immediately “fact-checked” by moderator Kristen Welker: “And DHS has said some of those stats actually go back as far as 40 years.”  But at least the stat got airtime on NBC.  It’s been three days since the report was released and so far ABC and CBS have remained silent on the shocking number, despite both networks doing stories on Vice President Kamala Harris’s border visit.  Over on CNN, Senator Linsey Graham brought up the 13,000 statistic on Sunday’s edition of State of the Union only to have host Jake Tapper immediately “fact-check” it:  Jake Tapper: “OK. So I saw that statistic. We dove into it, our fact-checker, that statistic is actually over decades. So some of those people you're talking about are people that came into the country during Trump. And second of all, some of them are in prison. A lot of them are in prison for- not ICE prisons, but federal prisons for their- for their crimes.” The September 30 print edition (September 29 online version here) of the Washington Post covered the 13,000 number on page 2 but only did so to trash Donald Trump in an article headlined: “Trump Skews Data in Ice Letter to Lambaste Immigrants.” The fact that ABC and CBS still refuse to report on the number shows how far they are willing to go to cover for the Biden-Harris administration.

Foreign policy reporting can be tricky. You have to explain what bad people think in an honest way without coming across like you endorse their position. Christiane Amanpour failed in this on Tuesday’s CNN News Central as she omitted key facts related to a recent ceasefire proposal that she claimed could have prevented Iran’s salvo of 180 ballistic missiles on Israel. Amanpour recalled, “And what the Lebanese foreign minister told me, and this is really extraordinary, and I had not heard it before. That just before the Israeli targeting of the Hezbollah headquarters that assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, that there had been a ceasefire, which the U.S. announced, but what the Lebanese prime minister said to me was that they had got Hezbollah to agree to that ceasefire and apparently they thought that Netanyahu would agree too.”     The ceasefire proposal Amanpour is referring to was for a 21-day temporary ceasefire that would have allowed for negotiations towards a permanent one parallel with a similar ceasefire in Gaza. Israel opposed it because if the first stage ended in failure, all it would have accomplished was allowing Hezbollah to regroup after much of its chain of command had been wiped out and communications sabotaged. Opposition to the plan was widespread in Israel. The leader of the opposition, Yair Lapid, declared any temporary ceasefire should last no more than seven days, while the head of the Democrats—a new party formed from the merger of the left-wing Labor and Meretz parties—suggested it be three days, not three weeks. As it was, Amanpour proceeded to give the Iranian view of things, “Now, the Iranian foreign minister told me in New York during the United Nations that they were showing, and this is again before Friday's assassination, that they were showing restraint and that Hezbollah was showing restraint as well. And that it wanted, you know, to deescalate all of this.” She continued: That was the word also from the podium at the United Nations by the Iranian president and they were saying that they are being entrapped and they're trying to resist the notion of being trapped into this war. So, then comes the assassination of their client, Hassan Nasrallah. Now, Hezbollah is not but there—Iran is not there to protect Hezbollah. It's the opposite, Hezbollah is meant to be the frontline troops of Iran. So, this response from Iran is more likely because it feels it has been left no choice, as [Javad] Zarif said to me, in New York, that they may be pushed into this kind of response because everyone is asking, hang on a second, what are you going to do now that your best friend has been assassinated in Lebanon and certainly the so-called Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei’s was very close to Hassan Nasrallah. Amanpour claims Iran wanted a ceasefire, but it could’ve told Hamas and Hezbollah to quit, but it chose not to. Iran has taken the region to the brink. First by arming Hamas, then by watching as its Hezbollah friends joined the war for no justifiable reason, and now by launching a second massive missile barrage at Israel in the last six months. The tensions in the Middle East can be laid right at Khamenei’s door step. Here is a transcript for the October 1 show: CNN News Central 10/1/2024 1:01 PM ET CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: The second thing is that I've been speaking to foreign ministers from the region just today, the Lebanese foreign minister, who is currently in Washington speaking with the Biden administration and trying to get them, as he told me, to really use all their diplomacy and their influence with Israel and with whoever else they have influence with to stop this escalating. And what the Lebanese foreign minister told me, and this is really extraordinary, and I had not heard it before. That just before the Israeli targeting of the Hezbollah headquarters that assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, that there had been a ceasefire, which the U.S. announced, but what the Lebanese prime minister said to me was that they had got Hezbollah to agree to that ceasefire and apparently they thought that Netanyahu would agree too. Anyway, as you saw what happened on Friday night, which has led to this escalation. As for Iran, and now the Lebanese prime minister is very concerned that there will somehow be an attempt, whether it's to come to the rescue of Israel or whether Israel tries to get U.S. in. But the U.S. may end up joining this escalation in the Middle East, the foreign minister said. Now, the Iranian foreign minister told me in New York during the United Nations that they were showing, and this is again before Friday's assassination, that they were showing restraint and that Hezbollah was showing restraint as well. And that it wanted, you know, to deescalate all of this.  That was the word also from the podium at the United Nations by the Iranian president and they were saying that they are being entrapped and they're trying to resist the notion of being trapped into this war. So, then comes the assassination of their client, Hassan Nasrallah. Now, Hezbollah is not but there—Iran is not there to protect Hezbollah. It's the opposite, Hezbollah is meant to be the frontline troops of Iran. So, this response from Iran is more likely because it feels it has been left no choice, as Zarif said to me, in New York, that they may be pushed into this kind of response because everyone is asking, hang on a second, what are you going to do now that your best friend has been assassinated in Lebanon and certainly the so-called Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khameni was very close to Hassan Nasrallah. And there's been a lot of internal divisions inside Iran about how best to respond to what happened with the assassination of Nasrallah. So that is essentially what seems to be going on right now in terms of the big picture.

Unionized dockworkers halted operations at the 36 East Coast and Gulf Coast ports and took to the picket lines early Tuesday morning as a result of failed negotiations between the International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance.Port workers told Fox Business they are prepared to continue the work stoppage until their union is able to negotiate a more favorable contract. The six-year agreement between the two parties expired Monday evening.The walkout is the first launched by the ILA, which represents 85,000 longshoremen, since 1977.The ILA is demanding wage increases for its members and job security by banning the automation of cranes, gates, and container-moving trucks used to load and unload freight.The USMX claimed it made an offer to the ILA on Monday that would have raised wages by nearly 50% over the duration of the contract. The offer also reportedly would have tripled employer retirement plan contributions, provided better health care plans, and retained existing language about automation.In a Monday statement, the USMX said, "In the last 24 hours, the USMX and ILA have traded counter offers related to wages. The USMX increased our offer and has also requested an extension of the current Master Contract, now that both sides have moved off their previous positions. We are hopeful that this could allow us to fully resume collective bargaining around the other outstanding issues – in an effort to reach an agreement."Fox Business reported that the ILA rejected the offer and announced it would be moving forward with its plan to strike. Last week, the USMX reportedly filed an unfair labor complaint against the ILA, claiming that the union was breaking labor laws by refusing to participate in negotiations. The ILA called the move a "publicity stunt."In a Monday statement, the ILA accused the USMX of "block[ing] the path toward a settlement on a new Master Contract by refusing ILA's demands for a fair and decent contract" and said it "seems intent on causing a strike at all ports from Maine to Texas beginning in almost 12 hours."ILA President Harold Daggett told Fox Business that the parties' initial negotiations "didn't work out" but that the union is "always willing to sit down when the right number is hit.""Right now, everything is off the table," he told the news outlet. "Nobody's talking right now. We got Congress trying to bring them to the table. And that's where we are right now."The union's decision to push forward with the strike has raised concerns about the potential economic impact. The 45,000 dockworkers participating in the walkout manage approximately half of all goods shipped in and out of the country. Jason Fisk, CEO of Los Angeles-based SalSon Logistics, estimated that the work stoppage could cost $3.7 billion per day.Joe Mosquera, a dockworker in New Jersey, told Fox Business from the picket line on Tuesday, "I started 27 years ago and my wages increased only $25 over the 27 years.""So to me, I believe that we've taken less than we've deserved in the past. So now it's time," Mosquera stated. "We are just looking to be paid fairly and for the goods we take care of every day. And we did not stop during COVID, and we don't want to stop right now.""We are willing to go back as soon as they decide that they'll give us a fair contract," he continued. "What's fair is whatever my union president is willing to negotiate to. But to be lowballed, he's not going to agree to that."From the picket line in New Orleans, the ILA's local chapter told WVUE-DT, "Due to corporate greed, employers refused to compensate the ILA's members fairly.""The ILA is fighting for respect, appreciation, and fairness in a world in which corporations are dead set on replacing hardworking people with automation. Employers push automation under the guise of safety, but it is really about cutting labor costs to increase their already exceptionally high profits," the chapter said.Boise Butler, president of ILA Local 1291 in Philadelphia, made similar remarks to KYW-TV, stating, "Automation puts us all out of work.""This industry controls so much of the economy. It's unbelievable. We may be small in stature ... but what we control as far as the economy is concerned, it's untouchable," Butler continued. "We're not going anywhere until we get what we deserve."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr said the onus fell on her to play a Donald Trump supporter on the reboot of her show "Roseanne" because all the other actors refused to do so.During an appearance on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Barr spoke about the reboot of the incredibly popular TV show that bears her name. The sitcom originally aired from 1988 to 1997 before returning during the Trump administration in 2018. Despite the massive viewership (18 million for the premiere), the rebooted show was canceled by the network for what was perceived as racist commentary by Barr."They hated Trump so bad," Barr said of the Disney-owned ABC. "I thought, well, when they hear the facts — but then I knew, oh, it's because they know the facts. That's why they hate him.""But it was consistent with the show," Beck retorted. "Donald Trump is the guy for the blue-collar worker.""Even if you personally didn't like him, he's the guy the Conner family would have supported," the host added."Of course," Barr explained. "That's what I said."'I wanted to show both sides still loving on each other in the same family, because that's America.'In the reboot, Barr portrayed a Trump supporter, while her sister was portrayed as a vehement liberal who even wore a pink "p**sy hat" worn by protesters at pro-abortion marches in real life.However, the comedian revealed that she didn't want her character to be the conservative person because it was too true to life."I didn't want to be the one that was for Trump because I thought that was too on the head. I thought it should have been Dan Conner [John Goodman], because it was mostly working-class men that were [pro-Trump] at that time.""But he wouldn't do it. John Goodman wouldn't do it, and neither would any of the other characters on the show portray the Trump voter." — (@) For Barr, she felt there was a need to show that families with differing political opinions, as stark as they may be, can still get along."I wanted to show both sides still loving on each other in the same family, because that's America. And maybe fighting about it, but certainly not trying to kill each other," she explained."That's why I came back, because I didn't want to see America polarized like that. I knew [leftism] was leading to segregation."The 71-year-old also revealed that the network didn't approve of showing an "integrated" working class."I also wanted to show that the working class is the most integrated class in America, and [ABC] hated all that too," Barr told Beck.Following Barr's exodus, the sitcom was revamped into "The Conners," which largely ignored the previous season. In the new show, the Roseanne character died of an accidental opioid overdose. According to People, the character was found to have a mixture of pills hidden in different places around the house.The show is still on the air after six seasons, garnering an average of 9.5 million viewers in its first season and 7.7 million in the second season. The numbers have significantly dropped off but are still in the millions.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, the United States government has released 13,099 murderers from across the border. They’ve released 15,811 rapists, 425,435 convicted criminals total — and 350 terrorists, or those suspected of having ties to terrorism. On top of all that, 325,000 children have gone missing after being brought into the country. These stats were all released last week by none other than ICE. “What happened to them? Are they now being subjected to essentially child slave labor? Are they part of child sex trafficking rings? These are valid questions that the Kamala Harris campaign doesn’t want to answer, because she doesn’t want people to know her stance on legalizing illegal immigrants into our nation,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” comments. And Wheeler has the receipts. The National Partnership for New Americans is a group funded by George Soros that has been naturalizing hundreds of thousands of individuals — at least a quarter of a million of them. “Their goal is to continue to naturalize these migrants and make them into voters,” Wheeler explains. The group has received $560,000 from Soros’ Open Societies Foundation, with a revenue of $4.1 million in 2023 alone. “George Soros is paying for that because his goal is the same as Kamala Harris’. He wants to change the fabric of our nation, overwhelm our systems, topple our country, and he’s using the border invasion to do that,” Wheeler says.

Destiny and Destiny 2 have always had their ups and downs. Over the decade since the first instalment of Bungie's post-Halo FPS series launched, the studio has worked hard to address player complaints through updates and expansions, some well received and some not. After recently facing layoffs and following the launch of its Final Shape DLC, Bungie is now preparing to overhaul various aspects of Destiny 2 even further. According to a just-aired developer livestream focused mainly on the upcoming Revenant: Act 1, we've learned that one of these new changes will see the game's armor system altered once again as part of its broader Codename: Frontiers plans.

The throwback approach to RPG game design has been responsible for some of the best games to appear in recent years. A huge highlight in 2023 was Baldur's Gate 3, which resurrected a classic series with a fresh new entry. Before it, there was also the broader CRPG revival, with games like Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 3, and Tyranny arriving to show the staying power of an older approach to RPG design. As of this week, another retro-style role-playing adventure called Banquet for Fools has arrived to continue this trend with striking visuals and inventive design. Continue reading Banquet for Fools is a dark, inventive new Baldur’s Gate 3 style RPG
