Do you get the feeling that the media is starting to dislike Kamala Harris?
Despite all the Joy©  that the media had recently been peddling with all the conviction of a billboard in Pyongyang, one senses an underlying mood of growing discomfort.
“Was CNN’s big Kamala Harris interview a dud?” asked the Washington Post. CNN itself criticized Kamala for her flip-flopping on border security. MSNBC ripped her for her flip flopping on Israel. Arch-leftist Chris Cillizza wondered if there is anything Kamala actually believes. Axios called her out for mimicking Biden’s basement campaign strategy. Even the Guardian insisted she needs to stop hiding and to talk to the press.
That’s certainly a 180 degree change from the headlines she was making throughout July.
What to make of all this? At this point in the Gore, Kerry, Obama, Clinton, and Biden campaigns, the media had by now firmly circled the wagons and was playing its dutiful part as a neutered Pravda to the Democrat Politburo. There was no question of ever criticizing their candidate in public. So what is different this time around?
There are two possible explanations for this newfound media skepticism and criticism of Kamala. The first explanation is that the media found its soul and is once again doing its job as a fair and balanced, objective arbiter of news and politics.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Thanks folks, I’ll be here all week.
The second explanation is that the media is experiencing sustained fatigue at having to consistently defend an idiot. Make no mistake: they want Trump to lose, and they are doing everything in their power to affect this. But hear me out on my line of thinking.
They sold Biden as the “normal” candidate who was going to restore order, civility, bipartisanship, class, and accountability after four years of alleged Trumpian chaos. They might have actually believed that to be true at the time. But fast forward to today, and barely anyone in the mainstream media, not even incurable leftists, are attempting to maintain that façade. Without even factoring in his senility, it is accepted knowledge that Joe Robinette Biden Jr. is an imbecilic, bitter, and corrupt husk of soulless putrescence.
Simply put, the mainstream media had undoubtedly tired of having to defend him against himself. They knew who he was, they knew that we knew who he was, and they knew that we knew that they knew who he was. There were no more ways for them to deny, evade, deflect, or ignore the reality about Biden. And they were happy to help Pelosi shuffle him into the West Wing Bingo room, where he sits to this day, dauber in hand, staring vacantly into the void of an unaccomplished life.
Embedded within this explanation is also the media’s desire to save face. AÂ poll from earlier this year shows that over 80% of Americans don’t trust the mainstream media. This puts the media in a conundrum. They want to keep providing cover for Democrats to help them win elections. But they can’t do that if nobody trusts them. And it’s near impossible to go to bat for Democrats who reek of brazen incompetence, even by leftist standards. Slick used car salesmen like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama made the media’s job so much easier. The opposite is true with the likes of Biden, and now Harris.
Mind you, the media wants to save face not out of any sense of journalistic integrity or professional ethics. They’re happy to feed lies to gullible audiences ad nauseam. But they can’t do this if the audience long since walked away, so they need some sort of restoration of their credibility. They couldn’t lie for another four years for Biden and restore their credibility at the same time, so they were glad to assist in the palace coup. But, in doing so, they may have jumped out of the pan into the fire.
Because the senile, bitter Biden has been replaced with the cackling, clueless Harris. And, though they desperately want her to win, they simply cannot be looking forward to defending her every gaffe, her every evasion, her every ramble, and her every incompetent decision for the next four years. They’re tired of it, and you can tell in their subtly less-than-stellar recent criticisms of her.
So why did they support the coup? Mainly out of desperation. Biden was on track to lose, and to lose bigly. His mental decline presented a rare opportunity to switch out candidates in a way that wouldn’t have been possible in any other situation. They knew the DEI hire Harris wasn’t going to step aside for a Newsom or a Whitmer. By ousting Biden, they knew Harris was in all probability the inevitable replacement. But they clung to a hope — an unsubstantiated, risky, but genuine hope — that somewhere in the last four years of experience, maybe little Kamala had outgrown the heehawing, word salad tosser of 2019 who couldn’t win her home state, and had since blossomed into a more serious, more informed, and more dignified candidate.
Nope.
Her fledgling candidacy has raised enough eyebrows in the first month with missteps that would span an entire term for a normal candidate.
So wil the Bottom Feeders still want us to Vote Harris/Walz?
The Ministry of Propaganda wants Democrats to win. It was clear early on that Kamala was a drag on Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s slim chances and they wanted to figure out a painless way to dump her lame ass. But then he did the debate and showed the entire world (that tiny bit that hadn’t already figured it out) that HE was the liability. HE was going to destroy the entire ticket. So the campaign went forth to coup his ass out, too.
But Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden got the ultimate revenge. He endorsed Kamala. Now there was no way to get rid of her.
The Ministry of Propaganda is doing their best, but lazy piece of lying shit Kamala is depending on them solely to carry her water. Lord knows how heavily she’s going to lean on ABC to dress up her failure and make it appear like a resounding victory. Who knows, she may treat the media like she treats her staff… and probably Dougie.
Could it even be that the Ministry of Propaganda might realize that, as much as they hate Trump, having a vapid, cackling airhead as the Leader of the Free World might, just possibly, be the end of western civilization as we know it?
