      Ok. Fair enough. I don’t hold anything against 404 media. But OP should have checked that information before posting. Especially since it is very easy to see that’s not the case currently. The title implies currently it is that photo. It is not

        OP shouldn’t have changed the title from the original in the article.

        OP should have just posted the article.

        Regardless, it’s a very direct way of rewriting history someone was attempting. It’s good it got caught and called out.

      why does it seem like a fake attempt at clickbait

      • make a fake story with a controversial topic, no one else can verify

      • mark it fixed a day later

      • profit

      “Google’s first result shows Trump won the 2020 election”

      in the article:

      update: Google has removed the content
