Google Blames ‘Glitch’ For How Harris Campaign Was Able to Run Paid Ads with Fake Headlines to Deceive Voters

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.

The tired glitch excuse only works on one group …GOP lawmakers.

Google is about to get its arse run through the wringer over antitrust violations. It's time to break Google apart.

Glitch was the silent cofounder of Google, along with Page and Brin, and is playing an increasing active role in decision making, it seems.

Not a believable excuse. Not in the slightest.

So, they know who clicked the ads, also who saw the ads. That data is captured. So, how are they going to fix this? Maybe post a corrective notice that false Harris ads were shown? Or give President Trump similar ad space and an equal number of views and clicks?

It was a “glitch”. It was the “algorithm”. or “We got hacked”. Unless it worked and no one found out.

Strange how these ‘glitches’ always go the same way. In favor of lib/Dem and against conservative/Pub.

Reminds me of years ago when I kept getting incorrect Cable bills. I’d always have to call them to get it corrected. Funny how all the “mistakes” were always in the favor of the cable company and never once in my favor.

They know a lot of people will not notice or not bother to call to get it corrected.

= Profit!

Yep. 100% right!

On top of that, are we supposed to believe that ads on Google are approved by an AI? Horse hockey!

And if they were, who programmed the AI’s algorithm?

That’s highly refined propaganda. The hidden message is that Trump has done this in the past.
