The Media’s Darling: Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris has been the Vice President for over three years, but if you’re expecting her to face the tough questions like any high-ranking official should, think again. Bill O’Reilly, a veteran in political commentary, has shed light on a glaring issue that should concern us all: Vice President Harris’s almost comical avoidance of any media outlet that might challenge her cozy narratives.
A Carefully Curated Interview List
In her 42 months as Vice President, Kamala Harris has managed a meager total of 22 national interviews. Here’s the breakdown: 11 interviews with NBC and its affiliate MSNBC, three with ABC News, six with CBS News, and a couple with NPR. Notice anything odd? Zero interviews with Fox News and, surprisingly, zero with CNN. Yes, CNN—often criticized for its liberal leanings—hasn’t had the opportunity to question Harris. Why? Because even they’ve been pushed to start asking real questions.
Why Avoid CNN?
CNN, amidst various controversies and a desperate need to salvage its credibility, has been instructed to toughen up on Democrats. This change means that even a traditionally friendly platform could pose a risk to Harris, who has shown a consistent pattern of shying away from any real scrutiny. According to O’Reilly, the directive within CNN to not “go in the tank” for Democrats if they manage to land an interview is a new development, and it’s one that Harris is steering clear of entirely.
The Democratic Shield
It’s no secret that certain media outlets have long been in bed with the Democratic party, creating a protective bubble around figures like Harris. The pattern of her interviews reveals a strategic choice of platforms that are less likely to push back and more likely to maintain the façade of competency without ever really testing it. This strategy isn’t just cautious; it’s cunning and calculated, designed to keep tough questions at bay and let her narrative run unchallenged.
Comparisons with Trump
The contrast with former President Donald Trump’s media scrutiny is stark and telling. Trump, regardless of your take on his politics, faced the media head-on, participating in interviews across a spectrum of outlets, often hostile. Every word and tweet of his scrutinized, headlined, and debated. Harris, meanwhile, gets a free pass to say practically anything without the fear of headline-making repercussions—a luxury of silence that speaks volumes about media bias.
Final Thoughts
Vice President Kamala Harris’s selective interview strategy is more than just media shyness—it’s an indictment of her capability to handle the office she holds. While she avoids the hard-hitting questions, the media’s complicity allows her to navigate her tenure without accountability. It’s a disservice to the American people, regardless of party affiliation, and raises critical questions about transparency and competence in our leadership.
