Dr Robert Epstein's research is very helpful.
First to be clear he stated publically in 2020 he wanted a Biden victory and supported Clinton in 2016 however there are long term Google issues he has been reporting on for many years.

Larry King interviewed Dr Robert Epstein about Googles power in 2015.
He said that setting aside any deliberate human bias that Google execs introduced to Google, the search AI will determine the outcome of at least 25% of the elections around the world because the election margins are very small

The same conclusions can probably be reached about the media generally - opinions are formed based on what people experience, read and watch which the media largely controls. This changes the business and political outcomes we live in.
Dr Epstein also says in an LA Times piece
“I have become a darling of conservatives, which is driving me crazy,” Epstein said. “But they love me because I am saying things they want to hear. People I am closer to politically don’t want to hear what I have to say.”
The LA Times article goes on to say
"Yet even some scholars who think the San Diego-based psychologist is wrong about the political impact of search engines — he believes bias built into Google’s processes could have cost Republicans three California congressional districts in the last election — have started paying attention to his detailed work on how voters respond to tens of thousands of search results."

Dr Epstein states he wants a Biden victory in a 2020 FOX news video interview linked below but his concern is that while he might like the outcome now there is no guarantee about who Google will support in the future. He states Google has worked with the Chinese Communist Party in controlling its population etc
Dr Epstein states that in the days before the 2020 election he had 700+ researchers testing Google in different ways. Some were set up as Democrat and others as Republicans etc. One simple example shows Googles deliberate negative and bias action - Googles home page showed voting reminder messages to some users but not to others - Democrat leaning researchers/voters were reminded to vote while Republicans received no such message until Dr Epstein outed Google for this. The next day all Google home pages reminded people to vote
It seems clear Google does not like Dr Epstein's work and senior figures in Google have made negative comments about him in public forums including Congress which can be easily found on line
However it is clear Google has abused its great power - the EU fined Google $2.7billion for manipulating search results under anti trust monopoly legislation

Google is also very politically connected with many people from Google working for the Obama Government or taking time off to work for Hilary Clintons campaign - including the head of the Google Ideas Division. This is seen across the big tech sector

The LA Times article about Dr Epstein sets out differing opinions about his work and says other Phd researchers agree Google is doing something that could be very negative and implies few apart from Dr Epstein are watching or talking about it. Another link to a Slate article is very critical of Dr Epstein and his work.
The LA Times piece seemed objective in setting out a middle ground but did not report any whistleblower claims about Googles negative actions etc
It is hard to find independent research data about Googles actions - a USAToday Republican op ed lists issues with Google such as policies blacklisting sites which are removed for political reasons etc from search results etc.

The 10 minutes or so in which Dr Epstein talks in the docu are very interesting and shows how real the manipulation is. The docu says Dr Epstein's research uses real people and real data with control groups receiving right wing, left wing and mixed data to verify the impact of viewing the different data on the results.
What was very interesting about the research is that even people who saw the data was being manipulated changed their minds in favor of the manipulated results
As well as supporting Biden now Epstein says in the LA Times 2019 article he supported Hilary Clinton for President and is photographed with her in 2016 in the article
The research tests included in the docu and Larry King interview include results using real voters in real Indian elections, and US voters being tested on Australian election data that they had no knowledge or opinion about other than from search filtered data.
An investigation was published by The Wall Street Journal and based on more than 100 interviews, as well as what the Journal said was its own testing of Google Search. The findings are likely to provide more ammunition for critics
Among the findings, even though Google says in a company blog post that “We do not use human curation to collect or arrange the results on a page,” the Journal implies the company does exactly that. Often in response to pressure from governments worldwide, businesses, or a variety of interest groups.
According to the Journal’s sources, Google has also manipulated its search algorithms to favor big businesses — and that in at least one instance, did so to favor eBay, a major Google advertiser.

This psychologist claims Google search results unfairly steer voters to the left. Conservatives love him
The idea that Google is subtly pushing masses of voters to the left has the ring of conspiracy, and thus the work of Robert Epstein is warmly embraced by conservative lawmakers — as well as a president — convinced big tech is plotting against them.

Trump is right: More than Facebook & Twitter, Google threatens democracy, online freedom
Google, YouTube and other tech giants filter, suppress and even directly attack conservatives. This must stop to protect our free and open society.
