Google Search Biased 68% to the Left: 2024 Analysis

A 2024 AllSides bias analysis of Google Search results found 68% of news media sources Google featured in results for select search terms were from outlets on the left.

Out of three search engines analyzed— Microsoft Bing, Yahoo!, and Google — Google displayed the most outlets rated Lean Left by AllSides.

Google Search displayed 64% outlets rated Lean Left, 4% rated Left, 16% rated Center, 11% rated Lean Right, and just 9% rated Right.

Confidence Level

Confidence is determined by how many reviews have been applied and consistency of data.

As of June 2026, AllSides has medium confidence in our Not Rated rating for Google Search. An Editorial Review or Blind Bias Survey has affirmed this rating, or multiple reviews have returned differing results. If we perform more bias reviews and gather consistent data, this confidence level will increase.
