Harris Campaign Accused by Axios of Editing Google Ad Headlines Amid Glitch
Aug 14, 2024, 05:12 AM
The Kamala Harris campaign has been accused of editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads to make it appear as if major news outlets such as The Guardian, Reuters, and CBS News are providing favorable coverage of her candidacy, according to Axios. This practice has raised concerns about misinformation and the manipulation of media content. Google has stated that its sponsored disclosures are sufficient to prevent voter deception, although media outlets may disagree. The campaign's actions have sparked criticism and allegations of misleading voters by presenting altered headlines as genuine endorsements from reputable news sources. Google has attributed some of these misleading ads to a glitch.
