Google, defender of the BLM narrative

If you search for the words ‘Tom Slater Tyre Nichols’ on Google right now, the first thing you will see is the following message: ‘It looks like the results below are changing quickly. If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for reliable sources to publish information.’

Google then encourages you to ‘check the source’ to work out whether ‘they are trusted on this topic’. Failing that, you could ‘come back later’ when ‘other sources might have more information on this topic’. It then links to a longer list of handy tips, explaining to searchers how to ‘evaluate info you find with Google’.

Essentially, Google has slapped a content warning on Tom Slater’s spiked editorial on the Tyre Nichols tragedy. So what has prompted this extraordinary intervention?
