The Democrats were upset when positive media coverage didn't help Kamala Harris when she was avoiding the media. They've been saying this for months. So now, when she engaged in a positive media blitz of interviews, the Democrats were upset when it didn't seem to be helping. All the hosts were trying to help.
But Kamala saying to Sunny Hostin and then Stephen Colbert that she would have done nothing differently than Biden isn't helping. Even pro-Harris journalists confessed it's hard to send the message "Turn the Page" while you're saying there's nothing Biden did that you didn't support.
The toughest questions she faced came from CBS on 60 Minutes, and then it turned out that CBS manipulated their Kamala interview. A word-salad answer on an Israel question was previewed on Face the Nation on Sunday. But when the 60 Minutes special aired on Monday, there was a firmer Kamala answer. Where did that come from? Donald Trump, as well as MRC founder Brent Bozell have demanded CBS release the full transcript.
CBS also faced a serious problem when its internal woke mob erupted against morning host Tony Dokoupil for asking tough questions of leftist author Ta-Nehisi Coates, who repeatedly compares Israel to South African apartheid and American segregation in the Jim Crow South. Dokoupil has eluded their "Race and Culture Unit" who is supposed to monitor all questions for wokeness.
Puck’s Dylan Byers noted dozens of CBS journalists attack what they perceived as Dokoupil’s “history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict,” as if CBS reporters on the scene aren't editorializing when they inveigh against Israel.
Justin Baragona at Zeteo – a website run by viciously anti-Israel journalist Mehdi Hasan – quoted an anonymous source inside who said “If Tony would just shut the f--k up, none of this would be happening.” When it comes to Hamas, CBS News is now STFU News.
No one should imagine that CBS News was better in the 1960s or 1970s or 1990s. In every decade, they've displayed appalling leftist and partisan bias.
Washington Post "icon" Bob Woodward has a new book stuffed with anonymous gossip, and the media repeated these claims incessantly, at least the one where Donald Trump apparently send Covid tests to Vladimir Putin in 2020. They weren't as eager to repeat someone claiming Biden said Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a "bad f--king guy." Kamala knew Stephen Colbert wouldn't talk about that, just the Putin stuff.
