Excerpt:
"Despite corporate media's unabashed u-turn to support Kamala Harris, her campaign has been busted creating made-up headlines next to the names of real news outlets to trick people into thinking they've stumbled upon the real thing, Axios reports.
Upon hearing the news, The Guardian lost their shit, telling Axios: "While we understand why an organization might wish to align itself with the Guardian's trusted brand, we need to ensure it is being used appropriately and with our permission. We'll be reaching out to Google for more information about this practice."
The ads include links to real articles from the outlets, however the headlines and supporting text were altered."
