Got these, in order: merriam-webster definition, followed by yahoo news, kansas city news, and business insider (all 3 links to videos), followed by 4 more dictionary definitions, followed by a CNN report, a history.com report, another CNN report, a gatewaypundit report, and an abc report.

On google, I got - in order: a definition, then a merriam-webster definition, then yahoo news, star advertiser news, and msnbc news (all 3 links to videos/reports), followed by npr, then cambridge dictionary definition, then wikipedia, then youtube, the NYTimes, then MSNBC, then vocabulary stuff about the word itself.

Now, considering that I don't read the gateway pundit ever, and I refuse to read the NYTimes because you have to pay to subscribe and I won't pay, you can cancel those two out. What's left over? Both of them value CNN enough to put them on the first page of results, and both value Wikipedia enough to put them on the first page of results.

I'm not seeing bias there at all.

I found similar results with Bing, I've been using Bing for a while now (I like their daily quizzes and changing homepages). However I've noticed that even though FN far outnumbers CNN viewership, I rarely see the FN version listed on the 1st page. And I don't like that FN updates their homepage every minute or so; so I've avoided it if possible. Sometimes Bing only lists 4 or 5 results on the 1st page, which baffles me.

Who/what is "the gateway pundit"?
