Media Lie When They Try To Sell Kamala Harris As A ‘Moderate’

Issues & Insights  "Joe Biden won his nomination by taking the primary votes of rank-and-file Democrats wrongly convinced he was a “moderate” among the motley assemblage of socialists, so-called progressives and hard-left remnants from the ’60s and ’70s he ran against. Biden isn’t a moderate. The media only said he was. Now the media are trying the same trick with Kamala Harris. Don’t believe the lie.
"The press is already in full dissembling mode regarding where Harris sits on the political spectrum.
"The Washington Post took the cake for chutzpah, tweeting its opinion that “Harris is a small-c conservative, party-friendly pick — which makes her just right for Biden.”
"The New York Times, no slouch itself in the leftist department, dubbed Harris a “pragmatic moderate.”
"Meanwhile, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos claimed the California senator “comes from the middle-of-the-road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.”
"Meanwhile, both the Los Angeles Times and Associated Press used the more wishy-washy term “centrist” to describe Harris’ ideological turn.
"These are not mere differences of opinion or analysis of where Harris stands on the issues, and the writers know that. No, they are flat-out lies by journalists who have abandoned all pretense of objectivity, fairness or factuality.
"We’ve talked about her left-wing proclivities both here and here. Don’t take our word for it. "Here’s what former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau had to say about Harris’ supposed moderation:
“It was hilarious to me that she’s being called, in all this coverage, a ‘moderate,’ like Joe Biden has found a fellow moderate or centrist,” he said. “She supports something extremely close to ‘Medicare for All,’ which Bernie Sanders acknowledged in his statement supporting her. She’s for the Green New Deal. She has one of the most liberal records in the U.S. Senate.”
"Say what you will about Favreau, but he’s dead on in his description. Americans shouldn’t be deceived." . . .

A Vote For Biden Puts Far-Left Kamala Harris In Line To Be President — Scared Yet?
Picking Harris was no surprise. The Democratic hard left, which today governs the party, likes to shove people in boxes. No one’s ever a mere human being, but a race, a gender, a religion, a political category. As such, Harris checked three big boxes for the Democrats: Woman, check. African-American, check. Far-left progressive, check.
