Google Allows McAuliffe Campaign to Create Fake News Headlines for Search Ads
Breitbart ^ | 10/20/2021 | Allum Bokhari

Posted on 10/20/2021 9:59:21 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

In what the Washington Post unthreateningly describes as a “new political ad strategy,” Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign is manipulating Google’s ad platform to insert fake news headlines on links to news stories relevant to the election — and Google is allowing it.

Google and other tech giants have loudly trumpeted their campaigns against “misinformation” and “fake news” in recent years, but this is another reminder that the tech giants will turn a blind eye when Democrats use technological tools to spread their own variety of misinformation.

The scary thing is that we allow the corrupt social media and search engines to shape our minds and ideas.

I think that by now, we have learned that they are bold face liars and wish is ill will. They are not our friends. They are enemies in every sense of the word.

Certainly use their services as you chose but be aware. Be very aware and smart.

Fine. Google needs to be officially declared a lobbying organization and be held to those standards4.

I took my daughter to a “Trunk or Treat” celebration in Virginia. But, instead of Halloween Candy we got Stacy Abrams handing out fraudulent McAuliffe ballots from the back of her SUV.

Actually, this action by McAuliffe creates an incentive for Google to promote these unfavorable stories to increase ad revenue, inadvertently to be sure.

Perhaps some patriot with ‘walking around money’ could create a seemingly leftist ad to “attack” honest news and thereby actually trick Google into promoting it instead

Terry McAuliffe's political career and importance to the Democrat regime that is currently in power can not be overstated. As Breitbart pointed out at the time the evidence suggests that it was his coordination with the Charlottesville Police Chief prior to the events leading to the riot in that city that set the stage for the Antifa directed violence and the anti Right media blitz that consumed the nation.

But evidence continues to mount that the ultimate decision-maker in the events leading up to August 12 was Governor Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe’s call to Signer on August 2 suggests that the planning to set up the violent confrontations that police used as a pretense to shut the Emancipation Park rally had been going on for some time.

Here's a link to the full article. The Charlottesville riot was the test run of the tactics that were used by the same Democrat crime organization during the 2020 Presidential campaign and the event of January 6.

google and the other internet giants collude 100% with the democrat party. They use their facilities to promote democrat goals and to suppress the thoughts of normal people who oppose them.

Abrams only had the fraudulent ballots left because she ate all the candy.

The solution is to destroy their facilities, mostly peacefully.

In VA we have been getting a mailer that looks like a small newspaper titled, The Independent. It is 100 % pro liberal, "articles" and does not disclose its publisher or funding. IMHO, this should be a violation of campaign finance disclosure laws!
