Wrt using bing, that is not "reportedly", one of the nice things about Alexa is that the companion app will actually display how it resolved the action. In both mentioned cases it uses a bing query to get an answer. The interesting bit is that the answer for Edward Snowden doesn't seem to turn up in the regular top bing search results even after a lot of reconfiguration.
I may actually be jumping to conclusions on that, and maybe Amazon is not using bing for the simple search results in the end. But I still don't see a qualitative difference to a normal search result with all the caveats wrt copyright that Christian has mentioned.
