Is Google suppressing news from RFK Jr.’s campaign?

On September 16th, RFK Jr., whom all of the polls have shown to have a much higher net-favorability rating by registered American voters than any other U.S. Presidential candidate (including both Biden and Trump) does, is being so much censored out of the Web in Google searches, so that either Google itself is doing this by means of its search-algorithms, or else all of the U.S. news media are doing it by means of their editorial policies (their selection of writers, and of which stories to publish and to reject — or else both methods of censorship are being applied.

For example, on September 16th RFK Jr.’s campaign sent out a news-release headlined “Armed Man Posing as U.S. Marshal Arrested at Kennedy Event Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month”. It was the fullest account yet of the event that had occurred the prior day, at which two men with guns, one having extra ammunition, pretended to be part of RFK Jr.’s privately hired security detail in order to be able to position themselves near to where he would be. The following important new information in this news-report had not yet been reported by any news-medium: “LAPD also took custody of a second man, who came to the campaign event with the primary suspect. Protectors observed that the man seeking access to the event had a backpack, found to contain at least one other handgun, multiple knives, and extra ammunition.” So: this was very hot news, about a likely attempt to assassinate Kennedy — a very hot news-story.

However, 24 hours later, by which time his press release ought to have been widely published, here was the result from a Google search for the headline with quotation-marks around it (which, of course, is the right way to search for a certain succession of words on the Web):

So: that’s the fullest find from Google (just those 4), on this historically very important news-report. Within 24 hours of the press release’s having been issued, nobody except newsbreak.com (and, of course, the Kennedy campaign) had published it, or else Google had filtered-out from their finds, all of the other news-media that had published it. Or else both.

My news-report about the event was also issued on September 16, and headlined simply “Joe Biden Wants RFK Jr. Dead” — it was accepting as factually true RFK’s allegations that he is the only Presidential candidate in modern times who has requested and been denied Secret Service protection — and one of the reader-comments to it said that, “Secret Service states that they don’t provide any protection, by their own rules, until four or five months prior to election day. So technically there is no obligation to do so.” However, there is no legal “obligation” to provide that protection, but it is instead discretionary on the part of the sitting President and Administration. Furthermore, the first of those two sentences, “Secret Service states that they don’t provide any protection, by their own rules, until four or five months prior to election day,” is false, as was documented at great length on August 7th, by Jeremy R. Hammond, in his excellent 7,000-word “Setting the Record Straight on the Denial of Secret Service Protection to RFK Jr.”, which provided numerous examples to the contrary of that allegation; such as, for example, the following ones:
