Courtesy of ABC News On a new show from ABC News, anchors Gio Benitez and Ashan Singh help viewers fill rabbit holes before getting stuck in them.
During a recent live-stream of “Searched, “a relatively new entry to the schedule of ABC News Live, Benitez, clad in bright white sneakers and a short sleeve shirt, offered followers different angles on top news stories — the ones they were asking about on their own. “Searched” uses data from web queries to determine what stories viewers are most curious about and what questions they truly want answered. On the program, Benitez explained who owns Taylor Farms, the massive produce supplier that has been linked to the recent cyclospora outbreak; asked about the status of algae in the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall in Washington D.C.; and did a quick hit about a Botox problem recently suffered by Britney Spears.
