The news media has not been hiding its bias for a while. Still, it continues to become more blatant this election season, with members of the Journo Class running defense for Kamala Harris during this election cycle and offense as well. They are not beyond playing semantic games with the truth, deliberately distributing misinformation, or, at times, lying. The fake fact-checkers are also marching in lockstep. This is no longer a bunch of activists we can laugh off; this is Election Interference by the Fourth Branch of Democrat Party-defined government: The mainstream media.

A recent case involved Newsweek, which issued a headline claiming the “no tax on tips” policy was Kamala Harris’ – until they stealthily changed their headline (after being called out) from “Kamala Harris’ Tax Plan Backed by Majority of Republicans” to “Kamala Harris’ ‘Copycat’ Tax Plan Backed by Majority of Republicans.”
This was no honest mistake! Trump had publicly announced this as part of his tax platform several times before Harris caught on. This is not new from the Dems as the only positive policies they enacted while Biden was the president were copies of those from Trump (i.e., addressing the border, pulling out of Afghanistan (although the Biden Administration botched that), lowering insulin prices to $35 – a Trump policy canceled by Biden only to have him resurrect it and claim it as his own).
The mainstream media, as you know, has been setting up a “new” Kamala Harris image to prop her up while still portraying Trump as the caricature derived from his “The Apprentice” hosting schtick in an obvious attempt to sway public opinion. These are only a few examples of the many ways the Left in and around media is trying to “fortify” the 2024 election as they did in 2020. Yes, it happened, and they bragged publicly about it.
How does the media do this? First, they rely on the idea that most Americans do not bother reading news stories, past one-minute news packages, and social media headlines. These people are easily influenced depending on their personal biases. The next step is to oversimplify coverage, disguising it as real news. This is where you have news media members framing Harris vs. Trump as the “Prosecutor” vs. the “Felon.”
Some of us know about the Trump-ed-up charges and Harris’ dubious career as a prosecutor, but do the masses? All they know is Trump was convicted on felony charges, and Kamala was a California Attorney General. A few misleading headlines and repeats from late-night talk show hosts and you have the foundation for a misleading framing of the entire Trump-Harris race.
The media has also deliberately aided Kamala Harris’s campaign by deliberately helping her float the phony idea of claiming Donald Trump does not want to debate her. While Harris makes such unfounded claims, the media gladly cooperates with surface-level news bits and headlines instead of rightfully questioning her over such a falsehood.
In truth, Trump loves debating no matter who the opponent is. The media conveniently (for Harris) ignores the former president’s actual agreement to specific ground rules out of the Joe Biden camp for two debates. When the Dems pulled the switch on him, Harris felt entitled to slip into the debate slot on September 10th with the same Biden statutes on ABC. Trump called them out while expecting a fair set of agreed-to debates and rules from both sides. The MSM and social media minions tried to frame it as “Trump did not want to debate Kamala:”
