Commenting on Trump's claims, the company said that Google search results didn't favor a particular political ideology.
"Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology," Google said in the statement.

The United States occupies the 25th position in the 2018 World Press Freedom Index, prepared by Reporters Without Borders (RSF). The country ranked 43rd out of 180 states in the previous year's ranking.
