VANITY: Something very interesting. A Bing search only provides "Fake News" outlets.

I wanted to do a search on what the content of the budget agreement was between Congress that is all in the news today. I wanted specifics. So I went on Google, and then on Bing, and then finally on Duckduckgo.

What was so bothersome to me was that the top rated search items were all "Fake News". Nearly every single one. Yet the links to find the absolute content of the bill is located on pages 674 etc. Why is this so.

I ask the FR audience to try it yourself. Type in Trump and budget, and april. Then go through the results. It will look like this...

Huffington Post Salon Washington Post CNN NBC MSNBC CBS NY Times Fox

It's getting to be rather worrisome when you can't perform some basic searches without getting overwhelmed by fake news.

You think that’s bad, Google “Famous white men”. Now click on images tab.

I looked at it and responded to you above. You're not going to believe this... They already changed it.

The third item on my Bing search was Breitbart. Bing customizes their search engine. If you mainly read conservative sources, Bing incorporates that in its algorithm.

The demonRATs are true believers in “Ignorance is Bliss” and the more blissful they can keep us the more they can get away with.

Try "Famous white politicians" for a bigger treat since none were in your list of famous white men. Hitler came up number one for me, then Mugabe. 🤡
