Kamala Harris‘s campaign was caught manipulating news headlines and paying to promote the altered stories as search advertisements on Google.

How do Google Search ads work? They appear at the top of the page when someone searches for specific keywords related to the advertiser’s ad.

The details: Since August 3, the Harris campaign has created dozens of these search ads, with headlines that look like they come from CNN, CBS News, NPR, USA Today, and many others.

The ads link to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines are manipulated to appear as endorsements of Harris and her policies.

Cut to the chase: They want to trick voters into thinking these ads are real headlines. They have “sponsorship” labels but they’re easy to miss.

One example: A manipulated headline from The Independent reads: “VP Harris Protects Democracy – Trump Defends Jan 6 Comments” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will protect voting rights for all Americans.”

Another reads: “Harris Will Lower Health Costs” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care.”

Is Trump running these shady ads? No. Google’s ad transparency center confirms this.

Is this allowed? Google’s terms of service do allow these types of ads to run on their platform and argue that because it says “Sponsored,” they’re easily distinguished from real results.

Big picture: Google is the same platform that was caught suppressing searches about Donald Trump’s attempted assassination just two weeks ago. Make no mistake—if the Trump campaign ran similar ads, they would find a problem with them.
