Synthetic knowledge

So Breitbart prints a news story in which a gun was drawn in self-defense in public. A bystander states he was nonplused to be "in the line of fire," and Breitbart puts a link on "in the line of fire."

WHat could that be? What could be relevant other than a definition, and who needs a definition of "in the line of fire"?

What it is, is a text search of "in the line of fire" on Breitbart stories; thus, clicker-throughers would find out that Fred Thompson was in the movie, "In the Line of Fire," and Dick Cheney accidentally shot someone in the line of fire, and Pakistani President Musharraf published a memoir "In the Line of FIre."

Who, or what, chose to link "in the line of fire" and for goodness sakes why? I think it's time for Leahy to start issuing subpoenas.
