I noticed BING news posted a story and they labeled it "in depth." Cool. I wanted "in depth". What I got was an obvious opinion from somebody who was emotionally involved with the story but without any information beyond her feelings. I accept her feelings with some sympathy, but . . c'mon. That's not "in depth" to me; I thought "in depth" would provide more information than just headline information.
What was more interesting is that BING just republishes news from other sources, and the source of the opinion that BING labeled "in depth," had actually clearly labeled the piece as "opinion."
So the question is, are the unidentified and untouchable BING editors instigators and enablers of the dumbing down of America, or are they in fact the result?
