Amazon’s Alexa product has recently faced criticism after promoting Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris through a hidden and seemingly biased message when users ask about the upcoming election. The news is the latest evidence surrounding concerns of liberal bias within big tech companies.
Owners of the Alexa device have taken to social media, highlighting the difference in responses when users ask about why someone should vote for Donald Trump compared to when they ask the same question about Kamala Harris. Reportedly, when the device was asked, “Alexa, why should I vote for Donald Trump?” the digital assistant responded, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”
However, when the same question is asked regarding Vice President Harris, Alexa says, “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment,” apparently defying the device’s previous statement that it cannot endorse a political candidate.
Alexa further praised Harris, stating, “As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities.”
Further reports indicate that Alexa is also delivering misleading information regarding the failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at his July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. In an egregious lapse in security protocol, the shooter very nearly landed a fatal headshot, grazing Trump’s ear, millimeters away from his skull.
When asked, “Alexa, was Donald Trump really shot?” Alexa claimed, “No, Donald Trump was not really shot. There were two attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, one in 2016 and another in 2024. Both times, the assailant was stopped and arrested by security forces. Both times, the assailant was stopped and arrested by security forces. These events are widely reported in the news.”
The American Tribune recently reported on the controversial presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, which many conservatives have blasted for being biased against the Republican candidate. In particular, the moderators were criticized for incessantly “fact-checking” Trump’s statements while refusing to do so for Harris.
Watch Alexa’s alleged bias below:
Conservative commentator and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly said, “These moderators are a disgraceful failure and this is one of the most biased, unfair debates I have ever seen. Shame on you @ABC.” She added, “The absolute gall of ABC to keep “fact checking” ONLY Trump while letting her lie in every answer is infuriating.”
Kelly also claimed that the ABC hosts were “running cover” for Kamala Harris to prop her up against her = formidable debate opponent. “Must be so nice to have the moderators running cover for you as a candidate. Makes it so much easier,” she added. “When he scores a point they make sure she gets another bite at the apple.”
