I tried searching for "Hunter Biden" on Reddit after reading about him in the news before the election. Nothing returned. Not a single post about this person, like he didn't exist at all. After the election, results started to appear. I'm not even American, just someone who wanted to look at comments about the news. I don't think "both sides" is an accurate statement of what's happening.

To be fair, Reddit's search is completely broken. The only way you can get decent results is using Google...

Ironically, on this specific topic, Google has its own problems. If I search for "hunter biden emails" on Google, I get page after page of media analysis telling me what to think, but no link to the emails themselves. If I used that same search term on Yandex, the page hosting the emails is the very first result.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Google has also gone downhill. At least Reddit's search is consistent. ;)

I've found adding "reddit" to my Google search yields results closer to what I'm looking for than a Reddit search or a regular Google search.
