There’s no guarantee that the position of Bing images is correct to some degree.
So if you have no measured data (like GPS traces), and a lot of data has already been mapped to OSM, it’s better to shift the images in order to match the data than the other way around.
I don’t know what editor you use, but it’s quite easy to add an offset to imagery in JOSM.
