I work for Google, and I can say that we take this stuff very very seriously. Unless some law is being violated (either a local law, or a DMCA (copyright violation) take down request) no human is ever involved with "fine tuning" the search results.

Pick a topic or person sensitive to Google or Google Engineering. Compare the first 100 search results returned from Google, Yahoo, MSN-Live, AOL and Ask. Do you see differences? Are engineers inside Google adjusting their algorithms to achieve a publishing effect? Is a Dept. or person inside Google using the first page of results returned as an appeal to emotion and a tool of rhetoric? Are these first 100 search results publishing decisions being made in the shareholders' interest? Is it possible the differences are a mathematical accident?
