Axios: Google Trends for 2021 news topics
Between a siege on the Capitol building, a Texas snowstorm, Brood X cicadas, the Olympics and a stuck container ship in the Suez Canal — not to mention endless COVID variants — it's been a busy year.
Why it matters: In the inaugural Axios-Google Trends news cycle chart, we chronicled the unprecedented first year of President Trump. Four years later, Joe Biden is president and the themes have changed, but America's short attention spans and rapid breaking news cycles continue.
By the numbers: The single topic to receive the highest percentage of Google searches all year was the Olympics, during the week of its opening ceremonies.
* Next came searches about stimulus checks at the very start of the year, followed by searches related to Trump during the week of Jan. 6.
* Searches related to Biden and the COVID-19 vaccine rounded out the top five topics overall, out of more than 50 major 2021 events and topics chosen by Axios.

A very important chart and no comments.
I suppose after a time Google and others can manipulate results as part of information warfare.
I have had web searches on Islam stopped in their tracks. I sue a search query and do not get good results, I reword it using better key words. Do that too many times and they send you error message accusing of being a bot and lock up the search feature.
If google search results can be manipulated, then follow on search terms might, then be increased or decreased. Information Warfare for politics, war or fun.
