The mainstream media’s handling of negative stories about Kamala Harris, the potential Democratic nominee, is as transparent as it is frightening. Despite her cavalcade of gaffes and blunders, major news outlets continue to sanitize and scrub these stories, painting a picture of competence and poise that contravenes reality. This is the classic definition of bias: shielding their protégée from the harsh glare of accountability.
Corporate media is ceaselessly spinning Kamala Harris’ Israeli policy stance as nuanced and thoughtful, while minimally covering her snub of Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress. This deliberate deflection communicates a deeper commitment to shielding Harris from the kind of scrutiny that other political figures would endure in a similar situation. The fact that there is little daylight between her and Biden’s stances on Israel only highlights how her actual performance and decisions are sidestepped in favor of rhetorical flourishes.
Biden’s trip to Israel after the October 7 attacks raised eyebrows, especially among Palestinian supporters. Harris’ rhetorical distinction about her posture towards Israel is meant to signal empathy with the Palestinian plight. In reality, this rhetorical exercise only reveals the chasm between promise and performance.
“She has the ability, because of who she is, to be enormously helpful to us who care deeply about Israel and how we’re going to get through this disaster.”

With Kamala Harris poised to become the Democratic nominee, Republicans are indeed gearing up for vicious attacks that will cut through the charade. Reports indicate that they plan to exploit Harris’ race and gender, resorting to cynical and divisive tactics. It is crucial to recognize that this isn’t just about winning an election but about the political and social tenor that such attacks will create. When vitriol replaces policy, the very fabric of our political dialogue disintegrates.
The reporting on Harris’ background must remain cautious to avoid the pitfalls of misinformation and gross oversimplification. As the campaign unfolds, it is crucial to remember that her rise to prominence comes laced with a web of political and social compulsions that must be treaded with care. Anything short of that only serves to heighten the risks of the most toxic political environment.
The liberal media subterfuge surrounding Kamala Harris is merely a new iteration of what we experienced in previous elections. Instead of addressing the real issues and gaffes, we are fed a fabricated narrative designed to steal control of the discourse. Their latest embodiment of politics by halves and cleverly crafty reporting is something we must all watch closely.
