CNN’s recent portrayal of the Trump-Vance campaign as bullies for urging Kamala Harris to face the media is a desperate attempt to shield Harris from her apparent vulnerability in unscripted scenarios. In their article, CNN inadvertently admits that Harris flounders without a script, highlighting her tendency to falter when expected to provide spontaneous, candid responses.
Since supplanting Joe Biden at the helm of the Democratic ticket, Harris has dodged the press entirely, neglecting to hold even a single press conference or engage directly with journalists. Instead, she’s been padding out her rallies with concerts and what can generously be termed speeches. What’s more, her campaign website remains devoid of a concrete policy platform, leaving voters to guess her stances based solely on vague assertions about “joy,” “the future,” and an ambiguous commitment to “democracy.”
CNN’s coverage attempts to frame the Trump campaign’s call for Harris to participate in a significant media interview as a strategic move to expose her weaknesses. However, it’s telling that they view basic accountability measures—expected of any presidential candidate—as some form of manipulation. This tactic reveals more about the media’s biases than it does about the supposed machinations of the Trump-Vance campaign.
CNN begrudgingly acknowledges Harris’s struggles with unscripted exchanges, noting her past wafflings in interviews. Yet, they fault Trump for simply pointing out this glaring deficiency—a clear indicator of Harris’s unpreparedness for the rigors of the presidency.
In sum, CNN’s attempt to spin Harris’s media avoidance as a strategic choice only underscores the broader issue: a candidate hiding behind crafted narratives, shielded by a compliant media, all while refusing to stand accountable before the American people. This isn’t just an evasion of journalistic scrutiny; it’s a fundamental failure to respect the democratic process.
