Report: Reporters Collude with Harris Campaign on Selection of First Interview HostWendell Husebø 27 Aug 2024
Establishment media reporters appear to be coaching the Harris campaign on who should receive the first interview with Vice President Kamala Harris since joining the presidential race, according to Politico Playbook.
The collusion underscores Harris’s partnership with media allies who are supposed to ask the tough questions and hold candidates accountable.
The media, however, appear to be in league with Harris’s candidacy. Television networks provided Harris with 84 percent “positive coverage” since she joined the presidential race, a Media Research Center study found last week, while they produced 89 percent negative coverage of former President Donald Trump.
The media have not interviewed Harris on television since June 24, 2024, and the last time the press reportedly questioned her at a solo news conference was eight months ago, on December 2, 2023. Harris has not held an unscripted press conference or unscripted sit-down interview about policy solutions for 37 days since joining the presidential race.
Harris will purportedly sit for an interview this week as part of her campaign’s ramped-up strategy heading into the post-Labor Day push, Axios reported Monday, but questions remain about who she will select to host the interview. “Harris campaign staff have been asking reporters who they think she should talk to,” Playbook reported Tuesday, with “race and gender” as key criteria in Harris’s selection of a host.
