How Big Tech is swaying elections and indoctrinating kids
Censorship comes in many obvious forms, but the subtler type works by not showing you things that the censor doesn’t want you to see, or making it much harder for you to find them yourself. That, according to psychologist and Big Tech researcher Dr. Robert Epstein, is what Google is doing every day, but especially around election time.For the past eleven years, Epstein has studied what he called the “search engine manipulation effect,” by monitoring how Google uses its vast storehouse of knowledge of individual to bias the results of searches done by its users. He and his team monitor how Google’s search algorithm weights and ranks the results of searches done of its search engine, which controls an overwhelming 93% of the online search market. His findings strongly suggest that Google is cooking its search results in favor of Democratic candidates and liberal causes that the company supports, and he has the receipts to back it up.

Can government intervention make natural disasters worse?
Any time fire destroys a paradise, fingers point. The wildfires that killed 115 people and ravaged the village of Lahaina, Maui, exposed corruption, incompetence, and distracted bureaucracies that failed Hawaii. It could have been prevented. It could have been mitigated. It could have been stopped. On the most recent episode of The DrillDown podcast, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers show how governmental corruption, incompetence, and misdirected incentives made the wildfire disaster on Maui worse but inevitable. Fires will happen, but governments need to re-learn old lessons of how to avoid them or make them less severe, and that means focusing on their real missions, not chasing the latest environmental fads.

Kenny Xu: Reclaiming Our Schools From CRT
School boards across the country, facing pressure from racial equity activists, teachers’ unions, and politicians have spent millions of taxpayer dollars on training and curriculum changes that push a fringe ideology known as critical race theory on K-12 students in American public schools. Parents who saw these changes play out during virtual school classes were horrified and began a national movement to get rid of it. At angry school board meetings since then, outraged parents asked their school boards, “How could you let this happen?”On the most recent episode of The DrillDown, author Kenny Xu takes on how Critical Race Theory (CRT) made its way into K-12 education, dragging down educational progress and indoctrinating millions of American kids while making a class of “diversity consultants” rich.

Peter Schweizer: Political Media are suffering from "Spouse Abuse"
Peter Schweizer doubled down on his criticism of the mainstream media’s shoddy reporting of the Hunter Biden story on the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast.“Spousal abuse is an apt analogy,” Schweizer tells co-host Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute. “You hear these horrible stories about a spouse who is abused but won’t bring charges, and they make excuses… You find the same kind of excuses being made by these journalists,” Schweizer said, calling the reporting of CNN in particular “laughable.”
