Despite recent interview, Harris is still ducking the tough issues:

1. Batteries versus sharks

2. Low flow toilets not flushing it all down

3. Wind power no good for watching TV when the wind isn't blowing

4. Position on Hannibal Lecter.

I call it Jackal Journalism. I cannot believe that after Trump calls our President and Vice President, "Joe and Ho", and also implied that Kamala spent her political career trading sex for advancement, that MSM allows him to get away with this. I am grateful to Jeff for keeping on pointing out their biased coverage. Hopefully more and more people see that it is a real problem. I actually do not care what Harris and Walz say. I am not undecided. I did not watch the speech. It helps that I am many hours ahead and was asleep. I am all for Kamala and the Coach. Viva la Kamala!

I think I was on Instagram when someone replied to my post, calling me “a Radical.” I’am a fervent supporter of all things progressive and have been a member of the Democratic Party.

I’m a veteran and a mom living on Social Security that donates to as many candidates for the Democratic House and Senate. It may be $5.00 but that’s how I afford to give them donations.

FTrump And FPutin Too's avatar

Don’tcha know they can’t say Democrat or Progressive; they’re programmed to replace it with “Far Left Radical”. To them, there are no moderate Democrats. My previoud nephew adored me. When he couldn’t find a job he joined the Navy right before Obama was first elected. When on leave he stopped by our house with a Navy buddy, on a hot summer day. I served them lemonade and homemade cookies and we shared warm memories for a couple hours and shared hugs when they left. A month later, he wrote on Facebook “the world would be a better place if Obama and all democrates (sic) were to all die tomorrow.” He knows I’m a democrat. His dad, my brother, is a staunch republican with libertarian leanings. He and his wife retired with hefty pensions after careers teaching in public schools. They all smeared Democrats sucking at the teat of the government. There was no reasoning with them. They referred to us as far left baby killers, and believed that being pro-choice meant being in a demonic cult that rejoiced at every abortion. So sad. BTW those firefighters’ teeshirts are awesome and i want one (of the tee shirts not the firefighters, lol!).

Expand full comment
Robert Eckert's avatar

It would be the third bipartisan ticket. "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!" was the first, when William Henry Harrison, the Whig candidate, chose a Democratic running mate, John Tyler, who became the first "accidental President" when Harrison gave the longest inaugural in history in a chilly drizzle, refusing to wear an overcoat as his wife had urged, caught pneumonia and died in a month. The Whigs read a statement on the floor of the House saying they did not consider Tyler one of theirs. The Democrats responded by declaring that they didn't claim him anymore either. He tried to run for re-election, but gave a statement in September that was generally considered a concession and withdrawal: however ballots had already been printed, and he got a dismal 0.1% of the vote, finishing fourth behind not only the Democrat James Polk and the Whig Henry Clay, but also the Liberty Party's James Birney (abolitionist), worst showing for an incumbent ever.

The second was Lincoln's re-election in 1864 with a Democratic running mate Andrew Johnson, temporarily renaming the Republican ticket as the "Union Party": again the VP became President, and is one of the top three contenders (along with James Buchanan and Donald Trump) for worst President of all time. He barely survived an impeachment, and his 1866 "Round the Circle" tour on behalf of Democratic Congressional candidates practically sunk the Democratic Party, who did not of course consider nominating him in 1868.

How delightful to get such a thorough and interesting response! Also for one of my favorite campaign slogans, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." Although I also for some reason have "5440 or fight!" stuck in my head.

Dana Bash is a hack, and has always been a hack. The wingnut-o-sphere is letting out one continuous whine about the fact Harris didn't play their game of "gotcha" sound bites. If Harris doesn't do another interview like that ever again it wouldn't surprise me.

Where in the world do these so called journalists come from? Most of them are all so terrible because all they care about is becoming a star in their own right. They say idiotic things so they themselves are the news. It isn’t news. It is just a bunch of narcissistic people auditioning for a starring role in some stupid “news” show. I can’t stand to even listen sten to any of them.

Excellent writing Jeff. Harris / Walz should continue to ignore the idiotic right wing press that follows Putin’s rules. They can continue their face to face meetings as the only way Americans can hear the truth. We will be rejecting Fascism. I want to hug every firefighter who booed Vance & wore trump is a scab t-shirts!

Vance’s enthusiasm lacking stops are an embarrassment. I guess the MAGA cult isn’t paid for at every stop.

The media is absolutely terrified of losing Donnie Dollhands and his Mini-Me who likes to offend large swaths of the electorate. He is so good for clicks... I'm guessing there is going to be some serious anti-tRump animosity in said electorate come time to vote. Come on, People - let's rise up and help send Donnie to Venezuela.

When I lived in northern Italy in the 80s, nobody's parents or grandparents had been a member of the Fascist Party. Every single one of them was a partisan. I think we're gojng to see the same thing here in about 10 years. Nobody will have been a MAGA member, everybody hated Dumpy back then because he was such an idiot and a felon.

It makes me wonder, what happened to so many journalists? It seems many have lost their integrity to chase clicks/likes on behalf of the outlets they represent.

Expand full comment
TCinLA's avatar

What happened is this: the "legacy media" lost half their readers/viewers since 2020. The intergalactic widgetmakers who own them (Disney - ABC; Paramount - CBS; Comcast-Universal - NBC; Warner Bros-Discovery - CNN) want to sell them off, but they have to become "profitable" to do so. And as Jeff Zucker the Fucker (as we knew him in Hollywood) said in 2016 when he was criticized for CNN airing all Trump's hatealongs, "Donald Trump brings high ratings!"

And all the over-educated, under-intelligent, otherwise-unemployable low achievers of the upper middle class with their Journihilizm Skool degrees are terrified of losing their jobs.

As always: Follow. The. Money.
