Do those outlets&rsquo; actual fawning headlines and stories not already paint <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/latest-time-magazine-cover-takes-mainstream-medias-creepy-kamala-worship-new-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris<\/a> in a favorable light?<\/p>\n<p>In any event, Google has justified the practice by noting that each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-consumers-group-pounces-on-woke-corporations-like-nike-and-coca-cola\/\" title=\"Conservative Consumers\u2019 Group Pounces On \u2018Woke\u2019 Corporations Like Nike and Coca-Cola\">search ad<\/a> comes with a &ldquo;sponsored&rdquo; designation. Thus, readers should already know that the Harris campaign paid for the ad.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, conservatives tend to err on the side of eschewing idiotic warning labels and instead trusting the public.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, however, one finds at least two very sinister acts of deception.<\/p>\n<p>First, the search ads feature links to actual articles by those establishment propaganda outlets. The Harris campaign simply changed the headlines and supporting text.<\/p>\n<p>That might not offend the average voter as much as say, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/vp-pick-tim-walz-accused-stolen-valor-former-military-colleagues-abandoned-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stolen valor<\/a>. But it does seem awfully close to what old-fashioned people might call &ldquo;lying.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Second, the entire dishonest spectacle has called forth the usual objectivity theater from both Big Tech and the establishment media.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, according to Axios, &ldquo;Google believes its sponsored disclosures are enough to keep voters from being misled.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Sponsored disclosures or otherwise, one chuckles at the notion that Google executives care about misleading voters. After all, among their many sins, those same people have recently admitted that search results pertaining to former President Donald Trump were &ldquo;accidentally&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/google-admits-changing-search-results-trump-assassination-searches-much\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suppressed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Axios also noted that the media already finds itself &ldquo;fighting assertions of bias.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Assertions? My goodness. Even late-night establishment propagandist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/stephen-colbert-cnns-kaitlan-collins-humiliated-audience-unexpectedly-laughs-spin-attempt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen Colbert&rsquo;s<\/a> liberal audience laughed when he called CNN &ldquo;objective.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Still, against all evidence to the contrary, outlets like The Guardian maintain the pretense of conducting actual journalism.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While we understand why an organization might wish to align itself with the Guardian&rsquo;s trusted brand, we need to ensure it is being used appropriately and with our permission. We&rsquo;ll be reaching out to Google for more information about this practice,&rdquo; a Guardian spokesperson said according to Axios.<\/p>\n<p>One wonders, of course, how anyone can tell the difference between the real headlines and those written by Harris&rsquo; campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the dishonest practice should strike us as odious to the core. But it also should not surprise us.<\/p>\n<p>After all, in light of everything that Big Tech and the establishment media have done since 2016 to create a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-versus-biden-revisited-75th-anniversary-orwells-1984\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1984<\/a>&ldquo;-style alternate reality in the service of both Democrats and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/documentary-filmmaker-nick-searcy-everything-happened-jan-6-benefited-deep-state-dems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deep state<\/a>, the act of rewriting headlines and passing them off as real seems par for the course &mdash; tame, in fact, by their Maoist standards.<\/p>\n<p>In short, anyone who trusts Google and the establishment media in 2024 has either chosen willful ignorance or embraced tyranny.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

It may be hard to believe, but Big Tech and mainstream media have teamed up to support Democrats while pretending to be impartial. As reported by Axios, the campaign of Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has purchased search ads on Google that showcase misleadingly edited headlines from established media sources. For example, a Harris ad might use a story from CNN, NPR, The Guardian, or another mainstream outlet but will feature a fabricated headline aimed at portraying Harris in an overly positive light.<\/p>\n<p>One might wonder why there is a need for such alterations when these outlets already produce favorable coverage of her. Regardless, Google defends this practice by stating that each search ad is marked as &#8220;sponsored,&#8221; implying that viewers should recognize it as paid content.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, conservatives prefer not to rely on excessive warning labels and trust the public&#8217;s judgment instead. However, in this instance, there are at least two troubling instances of deception at play. First off, the search ads link back to actual articles from those established outlets; the Harris campaign merely modifies the headlines and accompanying text. While this may not outrage voters as much as other forms of dishonesty could\u2014like claiming false military service\u2014it does come alarmingly close to what many would consider &#8220;lying.&#8221; Secondly, this entire disingenuous display has prompted the usual performance of objectivity from both Big Tech and mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Axios reports that &#8220;Google believes its sponsored disclosures are sufficient to prevent voter deception.&#8221; One can&#8217;t help but chuckle at the idea that Google executives genuinely care about misleading voters when they have previously admitted to unintentionally suppressing search results related to former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Axios also pointed out that media organizations are currently grappling with claims of bias. Claims? It&#8217;s astonishing; even Stephen Colbert&#8217;s liberal audience laughed when he referred to CNN as &#8220;objective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet despite overwhelming evidence against them, outlets like The Guardian continue their facade of genuine journalism. A spokesperson for The Guardian stated they need assurance regarding how their brand is being used appropriately before reaching out for more information about these practices with Google.<\/p>\n<p>It raises questions about how anyone can distinguish between real headlines and those altered by Harris&#8217; campaign. Regardless of how one views it all\u2014this dishonest tactic should be seen as fundamentally repugnant\u2014but it shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise either.<\/p>\n<p>Given everything Big Tech and mainstream media have done since 2016 in creating an Orwellian alternate reality favoring both Democrats and entrenched interests within government agencies rewriting headlines seems almost routine\u2014mild even by their extreme standards. In summary: anyone placing trust in Google or mainstream media in 2024 is either willfully ignorant or accepting tyranny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-event.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4087,38121,32438],"class_list":["post-2324385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-campaign","tag-deceptive-editing","tag-kamala-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-event.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
