Google blamed a ‘glitch’ for how the Harris Camp was able to edit news headlines to make it look like major news outlets favored her.
As previously reported, the Harris Campaign edited news headlines with Google search ads to make it appear major news outlets such as Reuters, CBS News, CNN, NPR and AP are on her side.
While these major news outlets are shilling for Harris, her campaign edited the news headlines without the outlets’ consent or knowledge.
The ads say “sponsored” but the outlets did not publish the text. The favorable headlines were written by the Harris campaign.
CNN, NPR and other outlets told Axios they were unaware of the ads.
“According to Google’s ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn’t running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before.” Axios reported.
