(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a sickening new demonstration of the Democrats’ shameless lies, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been exposed as manipulating headlines from various media outlets to enhance their appearance in Google search results as sponsored advertisements.
According to an investigation by pro-left news site Axios, within the past ten days, the Harris campaign modified the titles and summaries of articles from nearly twelve publications, presenting them as campaign search ads on Google.
Outlets such as CNN, USA Today, and NPR reported to Axios that they were unaware their content was being altered for use in these ads.
“While we understand why an organization might wish to align itself with the Guardian’s trusted brand, we need to ensure it is being used appropriately and with our permission. We’ll be reaching out to Google for more information about this practice,” a Guardian spokesperson stated.
The use of altered headlines also extended to other notable news sources including The Independent UK, AP, PBS, CBS News, Time, and WDAY Radio, a local station in North Dakota, The Daily Caller reports.
One specific instance involved an ad linking to an NPR article with the modified headline “Harris Will Lower Health Costs,” accompanied by the description, “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care.”
Despite these ads being clearly sponsored by the Harris campaign, the original source of the promotional text—Harris’ team—is not immediately obvious.
According to Axios, this tactic does not breach Google’s advertising policies.
Google maintains that the “sponsored” label sufficiently clarifies the nature of the ads to the audience.
These advertisements are part of a strategic effort by the Harris campaign to provide voters with “more context” regarding news stories, a campaign ads team insider explained to Axios.
This approach by the Harris campaign might intensify the scrutiny she faces, particularly as she has not participated in any sit-down interviews or press conferences since her campaign launch three weeks ago.
In contrast, the Trump campaign has instructed Senator J.D. Vance to follow Vice President Harris closely on the campaign trail to underscore her lack of media engagement and clarify her policies.
“To highlight that, Senator Vance and President Trump are showing up where Kamala Harris is not,” said a campaign spokesperson to the Caller.
“Senator Vance is doing the same by going to the same places that Kamala Harris is going but refusing to take questions. Anyone can show up in a state and read off of a script, off a teleprompter, and then leave 20 minutes later, that’s exactly what Joe Biden was doing, and it didn’t work for him. We’re not going to let it work,” the spokesperson added.
