The main point of the bias is the language of your browser, whatever is your location : if you use an English browser, you will get news in English at top first, not Japanese or Russian news written in Japanese or Russian. You can check it by yourself by changing the user agent or downloading a browser in another language.
The other main point is your browser history : Google puts at the top of the page the media you are usually reading, and will return more results for these media than for others. You can check it by doing a search when logged into your Google account, then by logging out and cleaning your cookies and doing the same search again. It works like the «interesting discussions» here.
It is an abominable conspiracy to return you the news you would like to read in your native language, and this has to change

Well, this may be easy in a country with ONLY one official language. You should know that I have set my browser language to English, I have asked my browser to give me only results in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Does this seem easy? Okay, my IP often shows a German Swiss location and guess what? I get everything in German.

@LadyDuck I would tend to think that you should know a bit of Japanese to work in Japan, but English speakers tend to believe differently
. And a tourist could have had experienced the same, so it can be considered like a major bug if it is not voluntarily done.

@LadyDuck All large companies are employing people speaking different languages for international business, the boss can stay at home. I watched a documentary film about Noz recently, a supermarket chain specialized in hard discount, and I was impressed, they are employing 120 people to buy what they sell around the world, mainly native speakers.
