"Another thing, we followed up on a media report, it was kind of a hysterical media report by an organization named Sourcefed, they said 'we just figured out that when you're doing searches, you're typing in search terms, you can't get negatives for Hillary Clinton on Google. So eight people on my staff spent that summer of 2016, I published in the fall of that year, seeing if they could get negatives for Hillary Clinton."
"So, for example, we typed in on Bing and Yahoo, 'Hillary Clinton is….' and we get 'Hillary Clinton is the devil', 'Hillary Clinton is sick', Hillary Clinton is dying of cancer', literally eight or ten extremely negative search results because that's what people were, in fact, searching for. So then we go to Google, I have screenshots of all of this, we type in 'Hillary Clinton is…' and we get 'Hillary Clinton is awesome', 'Hillary Clinton is winning', and that's it."
An example of the search manipulation can be seen below.
