Kamala campaign BUSTED for faking news headlines in deceptive advertising scheme

If you have come across online ads for Harris-Walz that appear to show major media outlets lending their support to Kamala's campaign, do not be fooled: the ads are fake. The corporate media's sudden pivot to supporting Kamala is contrived, an Axios investigation has found. The Kamala campaign has resorted to tricking people into thinking they stumbled upon a legitimate media piece in her favor when the truth is that the whole operation is fake. Media outlets like The Independent and The Guardian out of Great Britain, along with The Associated Press (AP) and USA Today here in the United States, found themselves roped into the deception alongside many other popular names like CNN, PBS and NPR. "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," The Guardian said in a statement. "We'll be reaching out to Google for more information about this practice." (Related: If installed into office, Kamala Harris is planning to open the floodgates to unlimited illegal immigration.)

Kamala altering media headlines, text to trick voters

The Kamala campaign's ad deception is so tricky that web surfers who come across the fake ads and click them are sent to the true media outlets. However, the headlines and supporting text are altered. It seems as though most of the media outlets linked to in Kamala's fake ads had no idea about the operation until after it started going viral. In one example, a fake ad for Kamala was run alongside an article from The Guardian with the headline that reads "VP Harris Fights Abortion Bans – Harris Defense Repro Freedom" along with text below it stating that "VP Harris is a champion for reproductive freedom and will stop Trump's abortion bans." The Guardian, it turns out, published no such article. Another fake Kamala ad was run with NPR as the target. "Harris Will Lower Health Costs," reads the ad's fake headline along with fake article text stating that "Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care." Google's ad transparency center confirmed that Donald Trump's campaign is not doing this like Kamala's is. A company spokesperson further stated that "we've provided additional levels of transparency for election ads specifically," including prominently labeling them as "Sponsored" so users know someone is paying for them to show up in search results. The problem with this excuse is that it does not cut to the heart of what is actually going on: fraud. The Kamala campaign is lying to American voters about Kamala being endorsed by the mainstream media when in fact she is just a charlatan like the rest. A source familiar with the matter claims Kamala's ad team is purchasing ads with news links that give potential voters more context about what the vice president believes. The same source claims that the campaign has followed all of Google's rules, though a "technical glitch" in Google's Ad Library did make it appear as though some of Kamala's ads lacked the necessary disclosures when they were run. In other words, the Kamala campaign apparently did not follow the rules for Google ads, which created an illusion that her ads were simple search results rather than paid advertising content. "Election advertisers are required to complete an identity verification process and we prominently display in-ad disclosures that clearly show people who paid for the ad," the Google spokesperson said. According to Google, the deceptive Kamala ads in question do not violate the company's rules. Facebook, however, banned advertisers from editing Instant Article news links starting in 2017, all as part of its "continuing efforts to stop the spread of misinformation and false news."
