The New York Times Is Hard At Work Trying To Hobble The Kamala Harris Campaign
The fact that the word “coronation” keeps popping up in their coverage is a dead give-away. The current episode of “The Daily” podcast with the unbearable Michael Barbaro at the mic, featured four uses of the word in just 40 minutes. Read through the editorial pages of The New York Times when the Democratic nomination is discussed and the references are impossible to miss. Considering that these people make their living and their names with the words they choose, that is definitely no coincidence.
In case you took off running after the tennis ball when The New York Times Editorial Board first gave us all the fake throw, let me show you where they’re hiding the ball. While they were just dying for Joe Biden to drop out, they did not want, nor did they expect, Kamala Harris to get his immediate endorsement. That deft move by President Biden, the veteran hustler that he is, painted everybody into a corner who wanted chaos to break out in the Democratic Party. Because of the timing and execution of his move, that has not happened. And as a result, Vice-President Harris is off to such a fantastic start that it is fair to say that she, and we, are better off that it worked out this way. Good for us, bad for the media.
