Google was the chief promulgator of the Donald Trump "bloodbath" hoax over the weekend, flooding its search results with articles that deceptively framed the former president's comment.
Trump predicted that re-electing Joe Biden would stir an economic "bloodbath," while specifically referencing the automotive industry at a rally last weekend.
Yet nearly every headline Google generated on the topic led users to an article skimping over the context, suggesting Trump warned of his plans to provoke a civil war.
Google understands it can no longer lead users to such deceptive headlines. Most Americans know what Trump said by now. Therefore, Google implemented a change.
A change to its definition of the word "bloodbath," that is. The change occurred sometime between March 17 and March 21.
