    Tbf Google’s AI will hallucinate and out and out lie to you depending on what question you ask it, so maybe it isn’t the best source. I agree it amazes me that people can lie like this and not be checked for questioned… And Google use to be the best way to check. Unfortunately it isn’t any more. And various news sites have their own agenda and won’t always tell you the truth either. Unfortunately I dont know of any source you can quickly check and get a definitive and unequivocal answer any more and I think people like trump understand and exploit this.

      It’s true that Google is now a pile of shit for targeted searching of a topic, but if you just searched for any claim like “biden convicted documents” I’m sure you would at least not get a list of articles confirming the lie.

      EDIT: I just searched the above and it’s just a long list of “biden won’t face charges”, “no charges for biden” and even some “trump falsely claims biden was convicted” already

        Yeah, but in the qon cinematic universe, “Big Tech” is in the pocket of liberals (lol). So they cannot trust Google’s search results, at least if it counters their worldview.
