MEDIA FAWNING: Liberal magazine torched over cover photo and glowing report on Kamala Harris

7

TIME magazine is clearly all on board for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and has splashed her photo on their new cover, along with a glowing article published Monday morning titled, “The Reintroduction of Kamala Harris.”

Gushing over Harris’s sudden rise and claiming Trump’s lead has ‘evaporated,’ the TIME article begins as follows:

The soundtrack suggested a Beyoncé concert. The light-up bracelets evoked the Eras Tour. And the exuberant crowd—more than 14,000 strong, lining up in the rain—resembled the early days of Barack Obama. Inside a Philadelphia arena on Aug. 6, Vice President Kamala Harris was greeted with a kind of reception a Democratic presidential candidate hasn’t gotten in years. Fans packed into overflow spaces, waving homemade signs made of glitter and glue as drumlines roared. When Harris introduced her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the cheering lasted more than a minute.

If you’d predicted this scene a month ago to anyone following the race, they would never have believed you. But Harris has pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history. A contest that revolved around the cognitive decline of a geriatric President has been transformed: Joe Biden is out, Harris is in, and a second Donald Trump presidency no longer seems inevitable. Democrats resigned to a “grim death march” toward certain defeat, as one national organizer put it, felt their gloom replaced by a jolt of hope. Harris smashed fundraising records, raking in $310 million in July. She packed stadiums and dominated TikTok, offering a fresh message focused on the future over the past. Volunteers signed up in droves. Trump’s widening leads across the battleground states evaporated. Over the span of a few weeks in late July and early August, Harris became a political phenomenon. “Our campaign is not just a fight against Donald Trump,” she told the cheering crowd in Philadelphia. “Our campaign is a fight for the future.”

“Where has this Kamala Harris been all along? For years, Democratic officials questioned her political chops, pundits mocked her word salads, and her polling suggested limited appeal,” TIME wrote.

Then TIME summarizes it all up, introducing Harris as the nation’s savior:

Judging from the past few weeks, Harris’ own party underestimated her. Maybe the crowded 2020 primary just wasn’t the right race for Harris to showcase her talents; maybe the vice presidency wasn’t the right role. Suddenly, she seems matched to the moment: a former prosecutor running against a convicted felon, a defender of abortion rights running against the man who helped overturn Roe v. Wade, a next-generation Democrat running against a 78-year-old Republican. Perhaps above all, she has given Americans the one thing they overwhelmingly told pollsters they wanted: a credible alternative to the two unpopular old men who have held the job for the past eight long years.

“She may seem like an overnight sensation, but Harris’ moment was years in the making. Quietly, her small team of top aides had been laying the groundwork for a future presidential run,” TIME writes.

TIME does admit that Harris doesn’t completely have the win in the bag yet. The paper writes, “Harris may still be the underdog. Trump has arguably the clearer path to 270 electoral votes and an edge on the issues that voters say are most important to them. Harris will have to answer for the Biden Administration’s record, including on inflation and border security.”

The new magazine cover is being blasted by Trump supporters. Below are just some of the responses pouring in….

Many people are asking why Harris needs a “reintroduction?”

Several people are noticing that TIME tried to make Harris look like Tulsi Gabbard:

Geiger Capital wrote, “The way the US corporate media has tried to transform Kamala Harris from a consensus joke to a historic leader in a matter of weeks, without even pretending to care about her policies or ideas, shows how blatant US propaganda has become… This is North Korea level worshipping.”

Another social media user pointed out that the author of the TIME piece, Charlotte Alter, has a long history of pushing out anti-Trump propaganda.

Alter reposted the cover photo and touted, “How Kamala Harris pulled off the swiftest political vibe shift in modern history, and why almost nobody saw it coming.”
