A source told Axios that “the campaign buys search ads with news links to give voters searching for information about Vice President Harris more context.”

The campaign has rewritten headlines since August 3, targeting over a dozen outlets:

The Associated Press
CBS News
CNN
The Guardian
The Independent UK
NPR
PBS
Time
USA Today
The Guardian, CNN, USA Today, and NPR told Axios they had no idea the Harris campaign had these ads. //

The ads include links to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines and supporting text have been altered to read as though the articles support the Harris campaign’s objectives. //

Yesterday, Sara Fischer of Axios threw a fit on CNN over “disinformation” and Elon Musk allowing Trump to “say whatever he wants.”

Today, she’s hand-waving away the Kamala Harris campaign editing press headlines in ads to spread disinformation.

Incredible.

Do you understand how it works? Democrats can get away with things Republicans can’t. If the GOP even tried this it would be national headlines.
