Just contrast the results with a different engine and you decide who's fault the poor results are:

Them training you to have low expectations isn't the right way I don't think.

You're comparing a web search to a news search. If you do the same search on google.com (not news!), you get good results. Including a picture of the US ambassador to Germany.

And when you search DDG in their news section, most of the results are about the impeachment hearing, just like Google.
