Please educate me: what makes the results “obviously hand-curated”?

When I search on DuckDuckGo I get a list of Wikipedia entries for its prominent members, and a few recent articles involving its members. In this case it’s their convictions related to Jan 6, but it seems like the articles showed up because they are recent in time, not because of some sinister plot.

Edit: To be clear I am not trying to discount your experience, I fully accept that the results you are served for the same term could be completely different than mine.

Forgive my poor syntax. I didn't mean to imply that DDG provides hand curated content on this search. I accused only Google of that. Google provides obscure university links which are critical of the movement in the top few places, above news stories (which are also, incidentally, negative). The links are very different in nature to all the other engines I tested. DDG only censors the links, from what I can tell.
