I actually don't even know what to say here. Aside from, "huh, they really did that."
Anyway, yes, sharing actual conspiracy theories is an extreme outlier. But that other stuff isn't, really. Serialpressit shows up under that escaped Georgia inmate story, too. I genuinely don't know what this site is, but here's their article page.pic.twitter.com/t6kyqOFNIz
(I am especially amused by the DMCA/Content Removal shortcut at the top.)
Here's the first-page roundup of stories for Eddie Murphy getting a lifetime achievement award. Fairly normal! Some mainstream, some niche entertainment stuff.pic.twitter.com/OQuIszuhPc
Never heard of Thetcanada, but here's their article page. (Don't worry, news watchers, that Assange story is from April.)pic.twitter.com/9M0lRjLLRF
Here's their homepage at the moment, a little before 11am on Dec. 31:pic.twitter.com/NTcjzq8002
Here's the page for that heartwarming tale of the big tip in Ohio.pic.twitter.com/bSkCmxBPQn
Anyway! No big thought here, really. Just that a not insignificant number of people use Bing, either by choice or because it's the default on whatever device they're using. And that I wish there was a little more distance between those people and some of these results.
(Final point: Bing is hardly alone here! The internet is full of junk! Google has had its own problems --https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/17/technology/google-fake-ads-fact-check.html …. This was just a meandering trip down what Bing happened to serve up this morning.)
OMG wait no, one more final point. I finally clicked on that other Eddie Murphy story, from uspotus dot com. It's a bad copy/paste from Entertainment Tonight, stripped of the byline but NOT THE NEWSLETTER SIGNUP.pic.twitter.com/Nyz6I6BXoP
Today on Bing(TM), they are featuring a story about a Guinness Record that has been covered by <squints> 2 total news organizations: his local TV station, and UPI. (The Bre*tbart link is the UPI story.) So few sites that it's just showing the Amazon page for 'baseball cards'pic.twitter.com/zWLiqAZX8X
