DDG draws at least the vast majority of its results from Bing, and does the same thing. Also, all of their news results seem to be links to MSN and Yahoo versions of stories that were published on other websites.
I don't know that what you're seeing has anything to do with politics. For example, I just searched for "dog food nutrition," (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dog+food+nutrition) and
Was the 14th result, and also the 36th, 68th, and 87th. It is also the 108th result, where it first starts topping the page, and from then on it's at the top of the rest of the pages, which are repetitions, so 128th, 148th, 168th, unto infinity.
I just counted this result because it was topping the repeated page of results, but all of the other results were repeating arbitrarily until it was down to the same 20 results repeating. I'm tempted to sum the number of appearances of every result. I'm not sure there are more than 40.
Why "dog food nutrition?" I figured there would be a lot of hits. I was wrong.
