Racism

HBO’s John Oliver began Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping Vice President Kamala Harris’s entry into the presidential race by accusing Republicans of resorting to outright racism” and falsely accusing her of being a radical left-winger.

On the Saturday edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Tara Setmayer's rebuke of Donald Trump as the real "bum" in the race sends co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend into a frenzy.

Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely Democratic presidential nominee, MSNBC can revert back to their old trick of playing the race card. On Friday’s edition of The 11th Hour, Prof. Eddie Glaude Jr. joined host Stephanie Ruhle’s panel to claim the election is now a choice between the forces of the future and those advocating racial “backlash.”

White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez has been extremely protective of fledgling Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and Thursday evening’s PBS News Hour opened with ten minutes of Barron-Lopez celebrating Harris and bashing her Republican critics as racist. She aired Donald Trump’s counter-argument from a campaign rally (“Trump portrayed Harris as a liberal extremist”), then…

Tiffany Hsu, who covers “misinformation and disinformation” for the New York Times, took the reins of the paper’s “On Politics” newsletter Wednesday under the headline and issued the latest hypersensitive mainstream media defense of the newly minted Democratic nominee under the inflated headline, “Tackling the falsehoods about Kamala Harris.” Yet much of what the paper condemned as “…

A dishonest Stephen Colbert concluded his Wednesday monologue on CBS’s The Late Show by declaring that critics have no good criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris and the best Fox News can do is portray her as anti-plastic straw.

Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut was a doozy but, perhaps, really not that out of the ordinary for the show’s deranged host, Joy Reid. During the final segment, she invited The Weekend host Michael Steele and activist Roland Martin to rhetorically lick Vice President Kamala Harris’ boots and, naturally,…

Back in 2020, Joe Biden made it a point to pick a black woman to be his running mate. In 2024, now that Vice President Kamala Harris is running for president in her own right, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell declared it “clearly racist” on Tuesday for Republicans to point this out.

Joining CNN Newsroom on Sunday evening to react to President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will be ending his re-election bid, chief national correspondent John King predicted that “you can be certain that racism and sexism” will be directed against Vice President Kamala Harris as she replaces Biden as the likely Democratic nominee.

While the rest of the country was discussing President Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign on Sunday, HBO was airing a Saturday-recorded edition of Last Week Tonight where host John Oliver ranted at Republicans for being “dicks,” supposedly not toning down their RNC rhetoric, and for being “racist.”

On Sunday afternoon after President Biden’s handlers posted for him on social media that he won’t run for reelection, CBS blew ABC and NBC out of the water with nearly four hours of airtime (roughly 3:55) fawning over Biden as someone embedded in “the American story” and set to live “in very rarefied air” of U.S. history and decrying even policy criticisms of likely Democratic nominee, Vice…

How will The New York Times treat the Democrat’s sudden frontrunner for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination, VP Kamala Harris? Monday’s front-page Times story by Michael Shear was supportive but relatively muted, expressing a little uncertainly among Democrats: “After a Shaky Start, Harris Is Suddenly on Brink of Leading Democratic Ticket.” But if Harris is…

Always a loyal foot soldier for the left, ABC’s Good Morning America was ebullient Monday in fluffing Vice President Kamala Harris being handed an “extraordinary moment” as the likely Democratic presidential nominee with “a flood of cash” and “history” on her side now that President Biden has dropped out against “felon” Donald Trump.

Following President Joe Biden’s decision to end his re-election bid and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, CBS’s Krstine Johnson welcomed journalist Ed Gordon of fellow Paramount property Black Entertainment Television. Gordon wasted no time playing the race card in defense of Harris while hyping her “brilliant” record on abortion.
