As Kamala Harris’s campaign gains steam, the mainstream media is pulling out all the stops to give her an edge. CBS News, among others, has been busy promoting Harris’s meetups and events, turning what should be routine campaign stops into headline news. The same outlets, however, seem determined to keep Donald Trump out of the spotlight, even resorting to underhanded tactics to do so.
This one-sided approach to coverage is glaring. For example, CBS News’s recent promotion of Harris’s meetups borders on being campaign propaganda, with coverage that reads more like an endorsement than objective reporting. On the other hand, when Trump participated in an interview with Elon Musk, the media not only refused to give it the same attention but also went so far as to push for its suppression.
It’s no secret that the media has been hostile toward Trump for years, but this blatant attempt to tilt the scales in Harris’s favor should alarm anyone who cares about fair elections. By amplifying Harris’s campaign and downplaying or blocking Trump’s outreach, the media is showing where its loyalties lie.
The 2024 election is shaping up to be not just a battle between candidates, but between voters and a media establishment that appears intent on deciding the outcome before ballots are even cast. If the media continues to give Harris a free platform while silencing Trump, it’s clear that objectivity and fairness have become casualties in this race.
