not much neutrality
I would like to think it's true. But just over the last year or so I've had the experience of Google interfering with my blogs so that my Dashboard is all messed up, I can't answer comments, can't even post them to the blog itself any more, and I no longer get the hundreds of viewers I used to get. They told me they were going to change something a year or so ago and since then I don't know how to use any of it. Also I used to notice that on many subjects my blog would show up at the top of a Google search, but now it's way down the page.
Nothing I can do about any of it. I know that Google has the right to do whate4ver they want to my blogs. I considered going over to Wordpress but they are too technically complicated for me, and they charge for the service. So for a long time I've just given up, figure I'm living in a politically tyrannical environment and that is the end of that.
Then today I heard a guy interviewed on my local Christian radio station, Jerry Johnson of National religious Broadcasters, connected with a website called Internet Freedom Watch, who said there is a lot of censorship of conservative and Christian internet content. Thinkgs like a Google page having nine negative hits for a search on a conservative candidate followed by one positive one, and nine positive for a leftist candidate followed by a negative one.
The Yahoo main page always has negative coverage of Trump in about that same ratio of ten negative to one positive. This I can see for myself, it's been this way for over a year. But if I go directly to conservative sites I can find lots of positive coverage of Trump.
I'm hoping all this won't justl be rationalized away here. I haven't read much of the freedom watch topic, saving it for a time when I can give it more attention. But I'm posting in case someone will be fair about it. If not, I won't be surprised but anyway.

ABE: Here's a page of that site that gives a timeline on some examples of internet censorship:
