The article presents a straightforward account of Trump's statements and Google's response, but readers should consider the broader context of media narratives.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, targeted the Google website on Tuesday, September 6, claiming that news search results on the site are against him. A White House official also stated after Mr. Trump's remarks that the government may consider regulations on how Google operates. Mr. Trump complained early Tuesday morning in a tweet that the search results for 'news related to Trump' are negative reports about him, adding that this situation may be illegal. He repeated his usual claim without providing evidence that major social media platforms in the U.S. censor conservative news. Regarding Google, the U.S. President wrote: 'They manipulate news related to me and others, resulting in all news and reports about me being bad. Fake CNN is at the top. Republicans/conservatives and my fair media are being silenced. Illegal?' According to him, '96% of the search results for news related to Trump come from mainstream and leftist media,' which he described as 'very dangerous.' Google has strongly denied Mr. Trump's claims. A Google spokesperson stated: 'Search is not used for political purposes, and the search results on our website do not favor any political ideology.' The site added: 'Every year, we strive to ensure users have access to the best search results with hundreds of improvements to our website's operations. We are always working to improve search at Google and never classify search results with the aim of manipulating political preferences.' It appears that Mr. Trump's claims are based on a report from a pro-Trump news site called 'PJ Media,' which relies on analyses from a conservative news anchor named Sharyl Attkisson, who categorizes American media outlets such as the 'New York Times' and the 'CBS' and 'CNN' networks as 'leftist.' In another part of his message on Twitter, Donald Trump wrote: 'Google and others suppress conservative voices and hide good news and information. They control what we can and cannot see. This situation is very serious and will be dealt with.'
