Kamala Harris’ relaxed conversation with CNN’s Dana Bash: A Chat
The Topic: Discussion of Kamala Harris’ policy positions in a brief interview with CNN anchor Dana Bash.
Vice President Kamala Harris selected CNN for her initial interview with the knowledge that Dana Bash would ask soft questions, as highlighted in the editorial “What Values, Kamala?” on Sept. 2.
Important topics such as the Afghanistan withdrawal, President Biden’s mental state, and Governor Tim Walz’s handling of rioters in Minneapolis were omitted in the interview. Harris’ weak responses were not challenged, casting doubt on both CNN’s journalistic integrity and Harris’ qualifications for the presidency.
This interview demonstrates CNN’s bias in favor of Harris and raises concerns about her suitability for higher office.
