And that's what I am confused about. Isn't google suppose to the show the most popular result based on a set of criteria?

Not in the "news" section. The complaint isn't that it's the first hit in the regular search results, it's that it's the first hit under news. (Or rather, it was. Now this Washington Post piece is first, and the false article is second!)

Ahh ok, I see. Odd.
