There should be a search engine that is exactly the same as any other, with the sole exception that it blocks MSM news articles in the results.

That is all.
Imagine how much higher-quality your search results would be without clickbait or obvious propaganda littering the first few pages.

Add "-msn.com" to the query.

Thanks, that's a good idea!
The only thing is that you'd need a very long string of those to exclude all MSM sites, and you'd need to add it every time you make a search. It's a good strategy to use for now, definitely. I just wish there was a site that did it automatically.

A userscript could be written that includes the list automatically. You could also go the whitelist route of only including the domains that you want to search. See this page. It'd take time to build a comprehensive list of domains you care about, but you'll get much better results.

Thanks for the advice! Something like this would make the Internet a lot better, like going back to 10 years ago when search results were actually relevant and true most of the time.

Yes. It's terrible that we're regressing, and I feel like Google should be forced to share the secret sauce that's in their algorithms. If you do make a custom search engine, feel free to share it here. Perhaps we could make it a collaborative project. (Although I wouldn't partake, because jewgle blocks Tor requests.)

yeah, it is called censorship, which is what you are trying to avoid..
the problem is that the children at this site do not know how to sit down in a "think tank" fashion and to draw up a proper definition of what the real problem is...
instead, these kids are just running around in circles and throwing darts at an imaginary problem...
the problem will never be solved this way..
nice try, mr swinger.

But where would all the shills get their bullshit sources from?
i am curious if cockroaches masturbate.. should i search on google or bing? I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE FAKED NEWS. OR WAS THAT "FAKE NUDES"? FAKE NEWDDS.. YEAH, THATS IT.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
