As RedState reported, some of the Democrat echo chambers in the MSM seem to be belatedly catching on to Kamala Harris’ Biden-esque media avoidance strategy, where the only “interviews” she gives are with journalists who won’t ask tough questions and who won’t push back when she tells a whopper.
There are several reasons for this happening, in my view. First and foremost, as they did with Joe Biden, some in the media are only content to be played like fiddles for so long before they start remembering what their actual jobs are.
Part of it, too, is likely the fact that the Democrat presidential nominee’s purported “momentum” has stalled in key battleground states, and perhaps they think her getting out there and giving the public more air time will do her campaign good.
Though the Times was content to point blank call Harris out for only sitting down “with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive,” other reporters are doing such work in more traditional ways.
As RedState readers will recall, Axios is the news outlet that infamously tried to suggest back in July that Harris was never Biden’s border czar, only to get zapped by reporting they did in 2021 in which they used that exact term to describe her.
But other Axios journos have the Harris campaign’s number in more ways than one, as evidenced by reporter Alex Thompson asking different questions of the campaign pretty much every single day, only to repeatedly be met with silence:

And it’s not just Thompson who is getting the cold shoulder:

There are, I suspect, some pretty obvious but troubling explanations for why even her handlers are increasingly declining to comment when questions are asked: 1) they legitimately don’t know the answer (because Harris herself doesn’t know it), 2) they do have an answer but know it’s subject to change at any given moment, and/or 3) they don’t respect the media and figure they’ll be forgiven for avoiding their probing questions.
She is, beyond any possible argument, a gutless, lying coward. How can ANYONE want something like this in the White House considering the fate of their lives, rights and liberties?
