As the 2024 election approaches, the influence of media narratives and political leaders is once again in the spotlight. Despite Big Tech manipulation, evidence shows that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, along with various media outlets, are employing deceptive, fraudulent strategies to sway the opinions of American voters. From selective coverage to divisive rhetoric, these tactics may be shaping public perception in ways that often go unnoticed.
Here, we explore seven strategies used to influence voter opinion, each revealing a complex web of political and media manipulation.
#1. The Biden White House edits an official transcript. In response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico, President Joe Biden called Trump supporters, on video, garbage. The backlash from the sitting president labeling nearly half of the country as “garbage” was swift, and left the administration scrambling for a way to get out of the proverbial hot water. So, without the approval of the stenographer, they altered the transcript in potential violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978 for releasing a false transcript.
The White House changed the official transcript of President Joe Biden‘s disputed remarks regarding former President Donald Trump’s supporters.

#2. Kamala Harris’ edited 60 Minutes Interview. After a disastrous, and scripted, interview with CBS’ program “60 Minutes,” the Harris campaign and the news station were hit with accusation of manipulation. Video evidence shows Kamala’s answer on a question being selectively edited. Donald Trump is now suing CBS News for $10 billion and accusing them of election interference.

#3. Karine Jean-Pierre’s track record as White House Press Secretary. Every press conference held by the embattled Pierre brings with it the possibility of being caught in another lie. From lying about FEMA money being used on illegal immigrants, border security, inflation, denying Biden called Trump supporters garbage and much more, Pierre has a reputation of ducking, dodging or outright lying about questions to the White House Press Pool, especially her old nemesis, Peter Doocy of Fox News.

#4. Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic Presidential Candidate. People on the right, left and middle were shocked when Harris took over as the DPC without winning a single primary victory. Democratic voters overwhelmingly rejected her as their candidate in 2020, and she held extremely low approval ratings as Vice President. That is until she became the nominee and the media shifted into high gear remaking her image to paint her as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
#5. Mark Zuckerberg admits to censoring social media at the Biden-Harris administration’s request. There is no such thing as free speech on Meta platforms, and Zuckerberg proved that when he admitted to censoring information related to COVID-19 content, business connections of the Biden family and the notorious Hunter Biden laptop.

#6. Google conducts massive misinformation scheme with the Harris campaign. Video evidence yet again revealed that tech-giant Google was in bed with the Democratic Party when an employee admitted that their search results are slanted in Harris’ favor. Not to mention they admitted to a “glitch” that allowed the Harris campaign to edit news headlines using search ads so readers would think they were actual news articles by sites such as Reuters, the Associated Press and others.

It’s really weird how these “glitches” always seem to benefit the left.

#7. KamalaHQ revealed to be manipulating Community Notes. The feature on X that is used to identify and correct incorrect information, the Community Notes, has been hijacked by a group of Harris supporters. It was revealed in a private Discord server chat how they would overwhelm a note and either have it removed, or replaced, with misinformation. Their account on X has been flagged several times for posting outright false information, yet they have regularly had any Community Notes removed thanks to this deceptive campaign.

Manipulation is often subtle, operating through influence, deceit or control to achieve hidden goals. The Bible warns against such behavior, calling for integrity and transparency in all interactions. Proverbs 12:22 says, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are His delight.” Scripture highlights honesty and truth as essential virtues, emphasizing that manipulation only sows distrust and discord. In a world filled with competing agendas, the Word of God reminds us that genuine leadership and persuasion come through sincerity and humility, not coercion or deceit.
This is evident in the positive reception many undecided voters have given Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for their appearances on multiple, large-platform podcasts recently, most notably The Joe Rogan Experience.
In the Bible, Absalom, King David’s son, used manipulation and charm to sway public favor, positioning himself as a better leader than his father. Through deceit and self-promotion, he worked to win the hearts of Israel, ultimately attempting to usurp the throne (2 Sam. 15:6).
Similarly, Kamala Harris has leveraged influence and alliances within the political, corporate and media spheres to gain authority without winning popular support in the primaries. Like Absalom’s quest for power, Harris’s path reflects how ambition can sidestep traditional channels, stirring controversy over legitimacy and leadership. While Absalom’s efforts led to division and conflict, voices continuously warn that the radical Left’s political manipulation threatens to erode what little trust is left in today’s institutions.
