…which is not to say that it won’t sink even lower. The slobbering Kamala Harris coverage by MSNBC may be the nadir so far: Is the network’s openly biased MSNBC host Stephanie Rule the symbol of the pre-2024 elections news media corruption, or is it ABC’s anti-Trump hacks Lindsey Davis and David Muir, who made the Harris-Trump debate a three-against-one affair?
Before being Harris’s choice for a friendly, softball interview, Harris said on “Real Time With Bill Maher” that it didn’t matter to her if Harris evaded questions and refused to clearly delineate her policy positions. Why? “Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she’s running against Trump.”
Ruhle further rationalized, “We have two choices, so there are some things you might not know her answer to. And in 2024 — unlike 2016, for a lot of the American people –we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy.”
That’s journalistic objectivity in 2024. She “knows” what Trump will do? What, like letting mobs of illegals cross the borders? Prosecute political opponents? Explode the national debt? Appoint people for their ethnicity, sexual orientation and skin color rather than their ability to do the job? Refuse to fire even the most flagrantly incompetent? What is she talking about?
After making it clear that Ruhl regards helping Harris get elected a matter of responsible citizenship (and journalistic ethics be damned), she was still allowed by MSNBC to interview Harris, slightly less disgusting than having Chris Cuomo interview his brother but only slightly.
It is so irresponsible and in the long term foolish for the news media to openly display their bias and favoritism like this. In the end, their credibility and level of public trust will be so abysmal that they will no longer have the power to influence the country as they aspire to. At the same time, we will have no trustworthy journalism at all.
Apparently people like Ruehl believe that sacrificing their profession and personal integrity is worth it.
But for Harris?

Anyone want to take bets on when the media will report the ICE data on who were let free to roam in the US?’
These numbers do not include the charge of entering illegally.
600,000 plus convicted felons or were facing criminal charges.
Slightly more than 15,000 were convicted sex offenders with 4000+ facing charges
13,800 + convicted murderers.
“They’re not sending their best people.”
Do you have a link for those numbers, Chris?

Paul, This is being reported on conservative talk radio and Fox. I don’t have a specific link. But from what has been reported Rep. Gonzales requested this data 6 months ago but was stonewalled. It finally got to him and it was leaked.
Networks Barely Mention CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS Free In U.S.

Interesting that they posted that article on the msn.com web site. Did they mess up?
