Kamala Harris Isn’t Running A Democrat Campaign. The Media Are Doing It For Her.
The Federalist ^ | August 13, 2024 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 08/13/2024 2:12:40 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

There was a particularly revealing set of quotes from unnamed Democrat “insiders” in Monday’s edition of Politico “Playbook” that went like this: “Values unite and specific policies divide, so I don’t think there is a desire to spend the next 80 days litigating Medicare for All, for example,” and, “Why would we start talking about policy?”

In other words, Democrats feel no need whatsoever to run a campaign for president. They know they don’t have to because the news media are doing the work for them.

We just went through the most scandalous month of national campaign politics, a month unlike anything seen in generations, and the Democrats are not only unfazed, they’re exuberant. That’s not my word, it’s David Axelrod’s.

The Republican nominee, a former president, was almost murdered in front of children. The sitting president, ill for the second time just days apart, was browbeaten by his own party into abandoning his campaign only three months before Election Day. His vice president was anointed the party’s new nominee without having earned a single vote. Now she’s campaigning like she’s not currently in the White House and like the past three years of her shockingly poor performance didn’t happen.

And just like that, we’re told Kamala Harris is wildly popular and Donald Trump’s clear electoral advantage has evaporated. Politico on Tuesday even ran the headline “Could Harris’ Momentum Put Florida In Play?”

A news media interested in thoroughly explaining, contextualizing, and documenting current events would be running headlines to the effect of “WTF, THIS ISN’T NORMAL!” That’s unfortunately not the news media we have. Instead, our news media have offered no indication that there’s anything at all to be alarmed about. Well, except any remaining possibility that...

Up until Biden officially dropped out, Democrats were dreading the possibility that Harris could end up as their nominee. It was virtually out of the question. Not anymore! Didn’t you hear about the enthusiasm? Everybody loves her. America can’t get enough of Kamala.

She’s got nothing to worry about...

Except for the billion people who watched Trump and Musk last night.

Doesn’t matter how many vote for Trump....AFTER the Election night, the mail-in’s will carry enough for Harris to be installed.

I’m so tired of these kind of replies. Are you trying to dissuade people from voting?

So true. Even backward third world countries can run an election in one day. But he good old US of A takes from mid-September until whenever they manufacture enough votes for the Democrat to win to do ours.

Well then you better form a damn plan for when it happens AGAIN.

I'm sure going to vote, but I expect the enemy to continue what works very well for them and I expect people like you to let them.

I have a plan; same one that's worked in the past, and will be needed in the near-future. I intend to vote (meaningless as it has become), same as I've done for 60 Elections....

The “media’ Ahos, pixies and fairies have taken total control of this election to put the Jamaican Hoo Doo and the cranky old “White Dude” in as retarded royalty figureheads for the Communist Party U.S.A. starring Big Mike and Barry Sombrero.

This ‘celebritizing’ is exactly what was predicted. Her past would be ignored, and the media would create a new version of her with presentations which make her appear to be elite and to win any argument.

It takes time to batter through that insanity. Trump began to make it through late in 2020 after the country went insane. Will he have time to counter all those early voters and shenanigans in this environment, this time around.

Maybe not, but you can give it good lighting and creative filters.

I was actually replying to the guy that replied to you.

I for one am NOT tired of replies like yours.

We need to talk about the big steal as much as possible specifically to magnify the next one to be far less acceptable than the last.

The Biden/Harris regime want illegals pouring over the border; its their
prime election strategy. Here’s how Democrats plan to steal 2024 for Kamala.

I honestly don’t understand something.

Years ago I posted complaints about the leftist media being a propaganda campaign division of the woke Dem Party.

People tried to nicely oppose me saying “I usually agree with you, Frank, but now with phones and social media most people aren’t watching TV news or getting news from the old sources now.”

2024: We are all commenting on the trashing of Trump and JD and the slanted propaganda to boost Kamala and Walz as the new demigods with Golden Calf worshiper voters at their feet.

Last night on the 6:00 news the local TV station gave a full minute to a clip of Kamala and one of her speeches.
Afterwards in the interests of equal time, they showed president Trump in one of his speeches for 15 seconds.
Main difference is they allowed us to hear everything Harris said and talked over the entire Trump clip.

Fairness in media my ass.
