After helping leftist oligarchs nuke Joe Biden’s reelection bid, it’s become evident the primary mission among America’s regime-approved media is to erase any trace of Kamala Harris’ extreme policy positions and failures as vice president.
Having started the week claiming she wasn’t Biden’s border czar to now asserting she never raised money to bail out Black Lives Matter rioters, the legacy media lies designed to boost Harris are becoming too numerous to count. These “reporters” have even attacked those highlighting how she was picked as vice president due to her sex and race and downplayed her record as one of the most liberal senators in the Senate.
The mistruths have been so shameless they make Lyin’ Biden seem like an honest fella.

But Americans shouldn’t consider these press-induced vanishing acts surprising. Everything these so-called “journalists” are doing aligns with their track record of running interference for Democrats.
These are the same media hacks who gave us the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, the Brett Kavanaugh rape hoax; the Trump-Charlottesville hoax; the “suckers” and “losers” hoax; the Ukraine impeachment hoax; the 2020 election was the “most secure in history” hoax; the “bloodbath” hoax; the Project 2025 hoax; the Supreme Court “corruption” hoax; the Kansas City Chiefs “blackface” hoax; the Mark Robinson hoax; the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax; the Jan.6 was an “insurrection” hoax; and the Covid response hoax.
They’re also the same figures who told us just last month that videos of Biden’s mental decline were “cheap fakes.” Only when they realized the exposure of their preferred candidate’s ailing health to the public could cost them political power did the “democracy dies in darkness” crowd acknowledge the problem. And if that flip-flop didn’t give you whiplash, it’s worth noting these same hack-tivists have gone back to praising Biden after their silent coup to drop him from the 2024 ticket was successful.

The vast majority of American newsrooms aren’t designed to publish the truth. Their purpose is to advance the Democrat Party agenda.
Masquerading as journalists, these leftists manipulate the facts of any given story to carry water for their political counterparts. As shown above, this includes outright lying to the American people about relevant issues and whitewashing history inconvenient to the party narrative.
Their subservience to leftism has even prompted them to excuse, ignore, and sometimes, encourage, the federal government’s abusive persecution of conservatives. That behavior is no different than the way state-run media run cover for inhumane actions orchestrated by foreign authoritarian regimes against their own people.
The media’s bid to sanitize Harris’ abysmal record is just another example of their role as mouthpieces for the Democrat Party machine. So long as their primary allegiance remains to the Marxist cause, reporting the truth will continue to be nothing more than an afterthought.
