Democratic Party sets rules for criticizing Biden's VP pick Kamala Harris
Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett operatives sign a missive that warns what media message must be
By Tammy Bruce - - Tuesday, August 11, 2020
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Media organizations have just been warned by the Democratic Party machine that they better be very, very careful with how they cover Joe Biden’s vice presidential choice — just revealed to be Kamala Harris. Any criticism of the expected woman will be considered racist and sexist, we are told. Oh, they wrap up that threat in a word salad, but that’s the bottom line: There should be second and even third thoughts about any criticism of Mr. Biden’s VP pick.
An actual memo went out from an ad hoc group of Democratic operatives (pretending to be advocates for women) to media organizations with orders on how to proceed with their coverage. The fact that they expected this partisan missive to be accepted and adhered to by media entities tells you all you need to know about the problem with today’s legacy media.
For decades, the Democrats have enjoyed a pliant media. Ranging from covering up for John F. Kennedy’s affairs, to ignoring Hillary Clinton’s health and corruption issues during the 2016 race, the media certainly have never needed such a public reminder about their duty to handle a Democratic politician like a fragile, and special, golden egg. So why now? Because identity politics demands it, and with news now disseminated beyond the broadcast networks and just a few loyal newspapers, Democrats need to reinforce the need for media protection in order to gaslight the public about their real agenda and inherent incompetence.

Time to learn a lesson from Saul Alinsky.
IGNORE "the rules" -- or more correctly, THEIR rules.

Rules? What rules..

I certainly wasn’t expecting her to be referred to as “Heels Up Harris†in the MSM.

All of the trash that has been printed/broadcast about Trump/Pence the last 4 years tells me there are no rules..

As far as I am concerned they get the exact same consideration they gave Trump and Pence.
