Sliding toward defeat in the late Tuesday and early Wednesday hours, Kamala Harris knocked off for the day, with a surrogate telling even her campaign staff and fans she wasn’t going to comment on the voters’ decision to send her packing at that time.
The fact she wouldn’t even contact now President-elect Donald Trump to concede was an indication of her rejection of the voters’ decision in the 2024 presidential race.
But she likely handled it better than America’s legacy media, which has been acting as an extension of the Democrats’ campaigns back to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
It was Elle Purnell, the elections editor at the Federalist, whose work also has appeared in Fox Business, Real Clear Politics and many other publications, who pointed out an “anonymous” television executive told NYMag, just days ago, “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form.”
Jeff Bezos reportedly recently ordered his Washington Post not to endorse Kamala Harris because he recognized a complete lack of trust on the part of the American population in legacy media, and he wanted to turn the corner on that fail. The Los Angeles Times also dropped plans for an endorsement.
In fact, legacy media outlets have, for years already, spouted Democrat Party talking points as if they were carefully researched and documented news items.
The industry was fully into Obama’s “fundamentally change” America agenda. It blindly repeated the “Russia, Russia, Russia” lies created by the Democrats during the 2016 election.
In 2020 it was so far into the Democrat Party it helped suppress accurate revelations about Biden family scandals detailed in Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
Then came Jan. 6, 2021, and, according to those outlets, those who participated in that riot, turned violent following a protest, made Trump “Hitler,” and “a dictator.” Even to this day there are Democrats and their supporters who claim that Trump is an “insurrectionist” for telling his supporters that day to protest “peacefully.”
Purnell’s analysis detailed how while Kamala lost, the “biggest loser is the corporate media industrial complex” in the 2024 results.
“Her media shills are nursing wounds that will take far longer to recover from,” she explained.
CNN’s Jake Tapper exclaimed “holy smokes” when he realized the depth of the Harris failure.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid now has started calling the entire state of Florida “fascist” for voting for Trump.
