    Well yeah, they’ve been shilling for the other team and now she has the gall to ignore them for people who are <gasp> more relevant?

    Well, turnabout is fair play, because the complete and total lack of integrity, and visibly naked profit drive in terms of how they conduct themselves and inform the public discourse these days, has pissed me off for well over a decade.

    Legacy media wants to be the kingmakers, aka “you cannot deliver your message without us, we have to shape the narrative”. She’s communicating directly to her voters and it’s pissing them off. And then, whenever they get a chance to ask her something it’s always some inane shit like “why do you think Trump says you’re not black” and not a single actual policy question.

    Legacy media seems to be about as bad in faith as the Republicans are, they are just better at hiding it. But giving any legitimacy at all to Trump has shown their true colours.

    The big ones are pretty much all right wing media, some of them are just targeted at people who find a rant about hierarchies of race, gender, or sexually to be in bad taste.

    “We don’t know her well enough”. Sounds like she’s trying to satisfy their request?

    Listening to the NPR Up First podcast, they mentioned that Kamala is going on podcasts. They did point out that the podcast hosts don’t have journalistic training.

    Kind of disappointing, but understandable coming from people who went to school for journalism.

      Harris knows that swing voters are not listening to NPR. They’re listening to the stuff at the top of Spotify and Apple’s podcast lists.

      Trump also knows this, and he’s been doing it longer than Harris has been.

    Reminds me that Obama was on Between Two Ferns over ten years ago. Granted, it was not during his election, but that one stands out as particularly silly. Plenty do late night TV, though, and Conan might have been my first exposure to Obama when he was a relative no-name in Chicago.

    Those types of things really humanize politicians. I feel like that was lacking with Biden (although I think Hillary tried because there wasn’t much to humanize). I’m glad Harris is doing a good job taking the more interesting outlets. What next, Hot Ones?
