Notice that this entry is under "MORE RESULTS."
This was obviously cherry-picked to try and make it look like Google thinks that is the most important aspect of Winston Churchill.
Scroll back up to the top of the page and you will get the conventional historical biography.

I don't think Churchill will be back.

Umm...is this the result you got for a search on 'peter falk'? That's what you've typed in the search field.
Google is, of course, a search engine. It is not a primary source for anything. Any info it displays is just something that it scraped from another site. Sometimes it shows things that are totally out of context or not at all what you're looking for. A Canadian co-worker wanted to show how in Canada they sell milk in plastic bags instead of jugs. So he googled 'canadian milk bags'. Big mistake!

> Its different of course, but Ive been happy with DuckDuckGo for a couple years.
Duck Duck Go uses Microsoft's Bing under the covers. Every time you do a search on DDG, Bill Gates gets just a wee bit richer.

It is my opinion that the accuracy of the fact that this post is OT and should be in Tales is 100 percent!

So just to give a reference, I'm 43 born in '79 and my step daughter is 20 born in '02. If you talk to her she cannot understand why I cannot believe everything I read on the internet. We were having a conversation on a controversial topic of the day and she was going on and on about al the stories she was reading online and what was being done to people. I asked her if they were really true or just made up hype and she was just flabbergasted that I would even question whether or not a story she read online was true or not.

No, the phone belongs to "Peter Falk."
We don't even know what the search term was.
Someone is trying to pass this off as the first thing google gives back when you search for Winston Churchill. "Oh woe are we, the downfall of society, for google thinks Churchill's cigar smoking is more important than any other contribution he made."
It's BS. Scroll the screen back to the top and show us what was searched for and what was the first result. It probably wasn't even Churchill.
Or maybe it was because Schwarzenegger's picture is beside a blurb about Churchill? "Oh woe are we, the downfall of society, for google thinks Arnold Schwarzenegger is Winston Churchill."
No. The picture is next to the question, "Who is famous for smoking cigars?" Schwarzenegger is famous for smoking cigars, and is probably mentioned in the article that the blurb about Churchill was excerpted from.

Just don't be surprised what you see when you type in "cigar smoking Canadian milk bags". I'm sure there is a site for those, also.
