Google "glitch" permitted rewriting content to make critical articles seem to disappear.
Isn't it interesting that I had to surf halfway around the world to find this?

Kamala Harris' campaign team has been subtly manipulating news headlines in Google search results to give the impression that major media outlets support her.
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team has been subtly manipulating news headlines in Google search results to give the impression that major media outlets support her, according to Axios.
This revelation comes amidst critics questioning Harris for keeping a distance from significant interviews and media appearances since declaring her candidacy for president.
The modified headlines, which were all accompanied by a banner that read “Paid for by Harris for President,” were altered without the news outlets' knowledge, the report stated.
The fake headline campaign involved around a dozen publishers, including well-known outlets including CBS News, PBS, Reuters, The Guardian, and The Associated Press.
Her campaign has even changed headlines of even small publications, such as WDay Radio in North Dakota.
Launching sponsored ads on Google, Harris' campaign has been linking to actual news articles from different sources with customised headlines and descriptions created, a tactic that Google and industry analysts referred to as “common.”
The headline of one sponsored advertisement that directs viewers to NPR's website reads, “Harris will Lower Health Costs,” while another healine from AP says, “VP Harris' Economic Vision - Lower Costs and Higher Wages,” as per Axios.
In another instance, the Guardian headline saying, “VP Harris Fights Abortion Bans – Harris Defends Repro Freedom,” includes supporting text beneath it reading, “VP Harris is a champion for reproductive freedom and will stop Trump's abortion bans”...
