What is it called when google searches get manipulated?

If you do a search for the covington covenant student issue, it looks like it's all but decided that they were innocent and every blog site is apologizing to them. This just seems very sudden and definitive, when you can't determine what really went on without considering the timeline.

Does anyone know if it's true if Twitter suspended the account who started the video?

I saw a posting here yesterday(I don't remember who) that the Twitter user's account was suspended. They were determined to be from Brazil not California and were generating up to 130 posts an hour. It wouldn't suprise me if the Google searches have been manipulated.

The facts remain the same. I can see why the other side would be upset because they didn't have time for damage control.

Why isn't there government video at the mall to check and see how that crowd came to surround those black Israelities. THAT's the key. Who walked up to who.

I was talking more about the MAGA PR blitz. I don't know if there's any official video of the incident or not. The shutdown may have affected that.
