OK. Just a guess.
Google has gone far left. People are looking to leave google, but the only real competition in a search engine is Bing, owned by MS. I have seen and made several comments about how I’d like to leave google, but why hop to MS, of MSNBC?
My guess is, MS has gotten the wind up over google’s self destructive plunge into the left, and they’ve decided they don’t need that messing up their brand.
You just gave me an idea for a thread. Watch for my ping!
