“Google is where we go to answer our questions and you just really want to feel like you can trust those answers and the company behind them. And moments like these break that trust and make you feel like Google’s supposed core value—truth—has been co-opted by politics,” Urban told The Post after posting to X about his dismay over the results.

Absolutely not. I do not expect or want Google to decide what is the truth and give me a 3 second sound byte on what the Holocaust was. How do things like this get traction??

Any article that contains the words "blasted", "slammed", or good forbid "claps back"in the title isn't worth the time to read.

Disagree. Top 20 Thanksgiving Family Clapbacks of 2023 is probably a really fun article to read

I dunno, I'm starting to feel like this is "hey is for horses" for millennials.

Who cares if a journalist uses a synonym?

It's just extremely overused. There are other words that could be used but slammed makes it's way into every second article which is becoming an indicator of a low effort article.
