Video that’s gone viral online highlights the alarmingly favorable bias of the legacy media, specifically CNN, toward Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat’s 2024 presidential nominee.
The video, which was cut by The Washington Free Beacon, splices together clips from two interviews conducted by CNN’s Dana Bash: one of Bash interviewing Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), and the other with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the GOP’s VP nominee.
“Watch this video and see if you can spot the difference between how CNN treated [JD Vance] versus how they treated Kamala and Walz,” GOP strategist Andrew Surabian commented. “How can any honest journalist defend this?”

The video shows Bash pressing Vance with biased questions and focusing on comments the senator made even before he entered politics. But when Bash is interviewing Harris, the CNN anchor uses a softer tone, does not follow up, and even prefaces her questions with possible answers for Harris to choose from.
The video was posted mere hours ago, and has already racked up 1.5 million views and thousands of comments.
“Behind her back, Dana Bash’s colleagues in the media have been savaging her performance in the Harris interview – and for good reason,” Luke Thompson revealed.
“It was an exercise in hackery. Yet Harris still somehow botched a softball interview.”

“There is no media bias in the way Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are treated vs. the way JD Vance and President Trump are treated,” Jason Miller sarcastically reacted. “None whatsoever.”

“This video is pretty damning,” Philip Klein commented. “There’s just a dramatic difference between how she argued with Vance and the kid gloves approach with Harris and Walz.”

“This is an incredible video showing just how combative and dismissive Bash was with Vance, 1:1, versus how effusive and easy she was with Kamala/Walz, 2:1,” Geoffrey Ingersoll said.

Bash is low class and that is why she is employed where she is.
Dana and her counterparts at CNN and MSNBC have destroyed any credibility that they might have had years ago. They don’t seem to mind that they have become useless tools for the Communist Party.
Not ivf it was his wife getting with another REAL man instead of this pudgy old gay man. It is eventually going to come out that he’s gay I bet. Why was he going with 2 young teenagers to a George Bush rally and they weren’t even in the school he taught at? Very weird.
I see it as most people do and I mean that even democrats are tired of the bullshit We can all see if you have to lie cheat or hack interviews then you are a bunch of fuck ups, we are uniting people that would not be inviting people on the other side of the aisle to talk about Their policies that have put our country in the shit hole These fucking morons are inadequate for any leadership position You see both Harris and Walz are complete liars and have no ability or common sense to do this job They don’t think the voters are going to see that there is no plan I heard Harris saying I can fix the problem in this country I can fix it First of all it was her and equally stupid Biden that caused this fucking mess and hasn’t the foggiest of how to do much So just look at her lies are stupid She has been treated like she was royalty She has never done anything on her own in her life Everywhere she has ever been there is a pile of shit she has left behind Harris is to stupid and to lazy How many people would hire her and how many would keep her employed after the first week You can’t lie to yourself I know for me she would not have made it past the first interview If you listen to an individual like Harris you let them talk and in 5 minutes you will know what she is all about I can tell you without a doubt she is nothing like she is trying to portray She is the king of interview that cnn would have to splice She is going to be lost in this upcoming debate She will have no notes or live mic Maybe she will wear an ear phone like Biden did
