Re: “...you wouldn't use a Google search ... you would simply go directly to Breitbart.com and use its internal search function. ”
True that - which is why I said "Not exactly true" instead of "False."

My point was only that Breitbart articles can still be looked up on Google. It's not as if they've been deleted.

Taking it a step further, a moment ago I went to google and searched for the string "Google 'Completely Killed any Stories About Joe Biden '" - which is part of the headline of this Breitbart story and does not include the word "Breitbart" or even the name "Joel B. Pollak." And, surprise - it found the article right off. So, to be honest, I'm not sure at this point that Mr. Pollak is even right. Maybe Google has dropped the Match Strength on Breitbart stories so they don't show up near the top of search results, or something like that.

"Not exactly true. If 'Breitbart' is part of the search criteria, Breitbart stories still appear. Mr. Pollak's article about Google was one of the first things I found when I searched for 'Biden Breitbart.'"

But, the point is that general Google searches for "Biden" are not resulting in Breitbart hits. If you were a person interested in Breitbart articles about Biden, you wouldn't use a Google search ... you would simply go directly to Breitbart.com and use its internal search function.
