    No. HE complained that google only showed negative stories about him as he was claiming media bias. Google did a study and found that their algos picked up stuff he said and others reacted to. There wasn't a bias. Google found that it showed more negative articles about Hillary than positive.

    so by the transitive property, trump called his own comments negative.

    Yes, the stories on Trump by the media were negative. Are you ok with that?

    The NYT black box called it pretty early for Trump. I remember Brit Hume touting pretty early in the night.

    which reminds me that Brit hume practically ripped meygn kelly a new one when she dismissed his comments about the betting markets, the financial markets and 538 model all pointing to a trump win.

    Different argument. He claimed google was biased. And google showed that people were searching for negative articles on trump, presumably because he said negative things. Trump says "I hate Mexicans" and people search "trump racist." So the next time someone searches "trump rac" it autocompletes "racist." When they would do the same for Hillary it wouldn't autocomplete "racist."

    If he talked about helping orphans then "Trump orp" probably would have autocompleted "orphans"

    Trump never said 'I hate Mexicans'. This is part of the media negative campaign based on lies & distortion. Liberal media said 'We hate Trump and his basket of deplorables'. The media aligned with the govt ran very negative campaign against Mr Trump & his supporters. Any problem with that?

    I made a hypothetical example which means that I was trying to explain the situation with a scenario which may or may not have been real. Any problem with that?

    I am trying to show you a negative reaction by the liberal media and the establishment to Mr Trump as the challenger of the status quo. Do you have any issues with their negative attitude?

    I am trying to show that the specific instance of Google showing a bias was false.

    We all know that Fox News is fair and balanced and everyone else is biased.
