I saw this in the wild. The Google discover feed showed me a headline for a 4h-old Guardian article where the Google link/headline said the Iranian leader Khamenei had been killed by a US bomb strike and I thought "Wow! Already? He's only just taken over for his dead dad!"

And that really would have been news except that wasn't what the article was about at all. It was about the US not knowing who to negotiate with now that they've overturned the anthill. It only referenced the killing of the _elder_ Khamenei at the start of the war a few weeks ago, and that reference was more than 3/4 of the way through the article, in background information. I was gob-smacked that Google would do such a thing. It's awful, a full betrayal.

@mogul Who was the guy fired for faking on scene reporting a few years ago?

Maybe we should use his name for google searches
