Harris Faulkner Calls on Google to Mark Misleading Kamala Ads ‘Fake’ or ‘Misinformation’: ‘You Gotta Make It Bold!’

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner called on Google to mark Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s misleading ads on the search engine “fake” or “misinformation” on Wednesday — arguing that she deserved the same, if not harsher treatment than those who had labels slapped on their posts during the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday morning, Axios reported that “the Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads that make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side.”

While the practice is in line with Google’s standards, the outlets used by the Harris campaign said they were unaware that their names were being used in that way, and a spokesman for The Guardian said that “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,” and said that it would be addressing the situation with Google.

On Outnumbered, Kellyanne Conway called on the involved news organizations to stop covering Harris campaign rallies until it stopped the practice and its principal submitted to an interview and apologized for it.

“I don’t know if it’s illegal, but it certainly is unethical,” said Conway.

“Yeah, so it doesn’t break with Google’s search engine platform, just so you know, because it says that you can clearly see the sponsored ad, you know, marking on the page that they’ve messed with. So that’s supposed to do it,” replied Faulkner. “But we know how quickly people are scrolling and clicking. Emily [Compagno], I said on the Focus, I don’t know if that’s enough to get people’s attention. I mean, if it’s fake, you ought to market ‘fake’ or ‘misinformation.’ Remember how they went after people who had simple questions about Covid? And I was one of them, you get marked, you get stickered. You got to make it bold!”

“Yes, you must be reading my mind because that’s exactly what I was thinking,” agreed Compagno. “How the delicacy, the subtlety of the sponsor tag here is in such stark contrast to the blatant removals of posts where people dared to ask questions.”
