Journalists once demanded “access” to presidential candidates, but Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris' calculated refusal to grant a one-on-one sit-down interview suddenly didn't matter.

Harris serves as President Joe Biden's co-pilot. Inflation hits 40-year highFrom gasoline prices 50% higher From 4 years ago Millions of Illegal immigration Many foreigners have entered the country in the past four years, so her avoidance of the media is a smart strategy.

This has no problem for Trump-hating, pro-Democratic media and commentators, who have praised Harris rather than furiously criticized her for ignoring or rejecting many of the radical positions she took in the not-too-distant past.

For example, former President Donald Trump described Harris and Tim Waltz's interview as “boring“MSNBC The opinion editor wrote“(Trump) wasn't wrong about that, but I think Harris is hoping voters will choose boredom over the drama – or, realistically, chaos – that Trump will inevitably bring.”

CNN presidential historian on Harris' hollow joys and good vibes politics Tim Naftali said“In American history, the New Deal has worked. Franklin Roosevelt, of course, ran on the New Deal when he ran against a sitting president during a time of economic collapse. But he never actually said what the New Deal was. … John F. Kennedy ran on the promise of getting the country moving again.”

Well, how vague is that? He ran the vibes campaign primarily in 1960. Richard Nixon promised to end the Vietnam War in 1968, but didn't say how to end it. …And then Barack Obama promised change in 2008. He promised some policy changes, of course, but he was basically saying, 'I'm sick of the Bush administration. I'm sick of that war.'So historically, vibes campaigns have been very effective.”

Did Roosevelt, Kennedy, Nixon and Obama treat the media like an infectious disease? So Harris's politics of “joy” and “atmosphere” should appease the two-thirds of Americans who think the country is on the “wrong track”? This foolishness works because the media is complicit. The media cannot tolerate Trump's “lies.” But Biden and Harris can lie with impunity.

in July Interview Speaking with NBC's Lester Holt, Biden again claimed that both Trump and Charlottesville lied, with no rebuttal from Holt.

Harris He told CNN Dana Bash criticized Trump for raiding the conservative border bill. Bash failed to point out that several Republicans opposed the bill before Trump, that this “tough” border bill has many problems but would allow a minimum of 1.8 million new illegal immigrants per year, and most importantly, that Trump secured the border without congressional action, and that Biden could do the same by simply reinstating the Trump policies he began rolling back on his first day in office.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer recently allowed not one but two guests in the same segment to incorrectly refer to Trump as a “convicted rapist.” (Related article: Bob Ehrlich: Corporate media working overtime to cover up Harris' radical record)

Biden and Harris' PrideHe said without any backlash from the media that he would create 16 million new jobs, without taking into account that 10 million of those “new” jobs would be post-COVID recovery and that the economy was recovering before the Biden-Harris administration took power and squandered trillions of dollars and caused inflation. It peaked at 9%.

Television journalists regularly allow guests/commentators/politicians/representatives. He calls Trump a “fascist.” But the government Putting pressure on social media platforms Suppression of dissent regarding COVID, government pressure on social media platforms, Hunter Biden's laptop story; and Harris proposes price controls?

Regarding Harris' “up and down” on fracking, former New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas said: MSNBC“I think sometimes in journalism we mistakenly assume that people have a different view and we call it two-faced and we try to catch people who are falling for that. But in some ways, on some issues, that's a measure of progress. … She's running against an American fascist, Donald Trump, in a general election.”

2022 Syracuse University Poll Found Only 3.4% Fifty percent of reporters are Republicans. According to the Media Research Center, recent news coverage of Harris v. Waltz by ABC, NBC and CBS was 84% ​​positive, while coverage of Trump v. Vance was 89% negative.

Welcome to modern journalism. The water is wet. The sky is blue. Trump is a fascist.
