Kamala Harris’ headline fakery shows just how phony her whole candidacy is

Must read

In a damning sign of the fundamental fakery of Kamala Harris’ candidacy, it turns out her campaign has been rewriting news headlines in Google search results to make her look better.

Yes, the media have been pulling for her so hard that you could ask: How on earth could anyone tell the difference

Yet the campaign has rejiggered headlines from the Associated Press, the Guardian and many others into tendentious pro-Harris claims like “VP Harris’ Economic Vision — Lower Costs and Higher Wages.”

(That last one also qualifies as disinformation, based on her record.) 

Again, actual headlines often get as bad, like “Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign” from the New York Times. 

And don’t forget the multi-outlet attempt to memory-hole the fact that she was President Biden’s border czar.

Plus the utter lack of meaningful scrutiny of Harris or her record, though she’s been in politics for more than two decades.

Yet the nonstop media tongue bath still isn’t enough for Team Harris: It feels compelled to create fake headlines to further polish her image.

Look: Democrats forced Biden out of the race not because of his horrific decline, but because it had become impossible to cover it up any longer.

Now they’re betting on selling an all-new Kamala Harris to the public — a complete piece of fiction as bad as “sharp as a tack” Joe.

And they won’t let a hint of real scrutiny get in the way.

When a campaign is rewriting even glowing headlines to further puff up the candidate, it’s about nothing but spin, all the way down — with naked contempt for the public and the truth
