      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

      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

      Probably not actually copy/paste... it’s not technically hard to set up a website with content from web scraping of actual new sites, with the sole purpose of being ad-serving platforms. With some SEO you can get the types of hits you point out from bing, etc.

      Heck you can even pay someone to see it up for you for under $100 if you don’t have the tech chops... eg, google “turnkey news sites”

      right but the point is that bing elevates these sites to people who will click on them and not understand.
