A look at some of Kamala Harris' shifting policy positions
Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy reports on some policy positions Vice President Kamala Harris held in 2019 on 'Special Report.'
The Harris campaign has reportedly bought Google ads featuring manipulated news stories featuring a pro-Kamala spin in the headline and description.
Axios reported Tuesday that the Harris campaign has edited articles from several news organizations, including CNN, NPR, Reuters, the Associated Press, CBS News, The Guardian and Time Magazine with the intent of boosting both Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
"It's a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't violate Google's policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard," Axios wrote.

According to Axios, one ad featuring a link to The Guardian displayed the headline "VP Harris Fights Abortion Bans - Harris Defends Repro Freedom" with a description that read "VP Harris is a champion for reproductive freedom and will stop Trump's abortion bans."
Otro de NPR tenía el titular "Harris reducirá los costes sanitarios" con la descripción "Kamala Harris reducirá el coste de la asistencia sanitaria asequible y de alta calidad".
Una de Reuters decía simplemente "La inflación ha bajado" con la descripción: "Bajo la administración Biden-Harris, 'EEUU está ganando la lucha contra la inflación'".

Multiple news organizations confirmed to Fox News Digital that they were unaware that their articles were being used by the Harris campaign in such a manner.
Un portavoz de The Guardian dijo a Axios: "Aunque entendemos por qué una organización puede desear alinearse con la marca de confianza de The Guardian, tenemos que asegurarnos de que se utiliza adecuadamente y con nuestro permiso. Nos pondremos en contacto con Google para obtener más información sobre esta práctica".

The practice, however, doesn't violate Google's ad policies, arguing that the "Sponsored" label makes them "easily distinguishable from Search results," according to Axios.
Axios also noted that "the Trump campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before," citing Google's ad transparency center.
