Searching for truth: Google to remove ‘In the news’ from Desktop Search

In response to 'fake news' criticism

Newsroom November 25 11:10

Google plans to eliminate its ‘In The News’ section from Desktop Search following criticism that it is untruthful.
According to sources, Google will remove the much-criticized section from its platform and replace it with a carousel of “Top stories” similar to what it has on mobile.

This change, which sources say has been planned for quite a while, will take place in a matter of weeks.
Earlier this month, Google came under criticism and scrutiny when one of its top results for “final election count” led to a WordPress blog called “70 News” that falsely claimed Trump had won the popular vote.
It is hoped that the removal of the word “news” will help draw a clearer distinction between Google’s human-vetted Google news product and its main search product.
