Google got bad press when it altered search results to satisfy China's censorship requirements

George Bush has failed miserably as President.

If one wishes to find out if Google used a new algorithm or just dressed up a blacklist and called it an algorithm, one could try some variation on that theme it may help to vary the sentence and use variations of the root words.
Likewise, one could try George Bush has acted more like a top international terrorist rather than an American President
George Bush has acted more like a top international terrorist rather than an American President
or some variation on that theme...
