Google News: Last week’s headlines, today

When a reader left a comment here shortly after the Ear Affair saying, “Have you heard what just happened to Trump?” I searched for trump on Google News and couldn’t find anything special. Not one of the results on the first page was about the alleged shooting. I ended up finding about it several hours later via the most censored publication in history.

This morning, I already knew through /pol/ that Slow Joe had dropped out of the race, but I ran a Google News search for biden anyway. Of the ten articles that made the first page of search results, the most recent was three days old, and therefore not a single one mentioned the big news.

How is this level of incompetence even possible?
