The campaigns of two Democratic candidates for Senate and the campaign arm of Senate Democrats have used Google Search ads in the past year to manipulate news headlines and article descriptions.

A Washington Examiner analysis of Google’s Ad Transparency Center reveals the campaigns of Reps. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Adam Schiff used the tactic this year against their GOP opponents.

The approach has been used heavily by the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris , which this month has rewritten the headlines and descriptions within the ad so it appears more favorable to Harris .
