On the Fox Business show Varney & Co., MRC founder and president Brent Bozell was asked about all the media fluff for Kamala Harris, including the new Time magazine cover. Bozell declared, "I think the honeymoon doesn't end until the election."
Bozell alluded to a forthcoming MRC poll which will show the Biden record is "not sticking with Kamala Harris. They aren't seeing Kamala Harris as the person responsible for this, so in fact, the media strategy of hiding in the basement is working beautifully for her right now."
He mentioned the Time cover story:
BOZELL: Look, they fawned all over her comparing her to Beyonce and Taylor Swift. If they believed in God they would compare her to the blessed virgin Mary. The whole time she refused to sit down and do an interview with them. Talk about a slap in the face, so what does this say? This says that the hatred for Donald Trump is so intense that they are going to do everything to facilitate anything that will defeat him. Including facilitating a strategy where she hides in the basement where now into the fourth week since she announced her presidential run, where she refuses to talk to the press and there's no outrage whatsoever.
Bozell said the strongest ally for Harris in this campaign is not the unions, it's not Hollywood. "It's the national news media that are going to do their bidding. So the question is, where the honeymoon is concerned -- this is not going to end until election day. They are going to do everything in their power to do it while at the same time, Stuart, while savaging Trump every single day as they have been since May of 2015."
Varney asked about Donald Trump sitting with Elon Musk for a conversation that lasted more than two hours on X, but he played audio of Trump mocking Harris for avoiding all interviews and conversations.
In reply, Bozell brandished a collection of headlines posted on X which were uniformly negative about Trump, Musk, or both men. It was a "two-hour ramble" of "two struggling social media entrepreneurs," a "Trump rally" with "familiar falsehoods." Bozell added "Did I mention it was two hours? Did I mention that trump sat down for two hours and Kamala Harris hasn't sat down for two minutes with anyone? I be perfectly happy if, how is this for an idea, Stuart? Let's have Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook do a two-hour interview with Kamala Harris, where he can ask her similar questions as he asks Elon Musk. I'd love to see that. She won't do it because the last thing she wants to do is to have to answer to the public."
