Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his VP running mate. This would be the same lady who repeatedly lied and cherry picked data to lie about Biden during the Democrat debates. President Trump mentioned that Harris had been really nasty and dishonest during the Democrat debates. How does the media cover the story?

a) The media review the tapes to fact check President Trump's allegations
b) The media note that Harris WAS a nasty liar during the debates
c) The media portray Trump a problem for suggesting a woman who was nasty and was repeatedly lying was nasty and a liar.

No need to ask, as EVERY story chose 'c'

When I worked at the college news paper, I was taught not to :editorialize" when covering a story. "just the facts" was the motto. Today there is no journalism, only biased "reporting". The editorial secction was for opinions. NO more. I used to live on Long Island. Newsday was the "news" paper. When opinions made it to the front page I dropped the subscription. New York Times??? I don't even believe the page numbers. The vast overwhelming number of Americans get the "news" from left biased news sources. Ther is only Fox News to the right. No wonder that Trump is behind in the polls, as the only information about the e******n comes from left biased sources. Thye really interesting thyis is that the left biased "reporters" don't even realize that they are biased. Thyey live in a bubble, were every one agrees with them.

Pretty narrow minded view, you've got there.
Really successful and intelligent people chose their 2nd in command, not by who agrees with them but by who has the intelligence and strength to disagree with them. This allows a true leader to see the bigger picture. Having a bunch of yes men around you is a recipe for disaster as they just simply shake their heads up and down, smile and watch you drive off the cliff while telling you what a great job you're doing.
Harris has the strength to be the person that Biden needs.

Harris was chosen for 2 and ONLY TWO reasons. Nneither of which had anything to do with qualifications. In fact it was a r****t dicision. BLACK and FEMALE. That's it. Any one who thinks otherwise is a stupid fool.

All the alt-righties claiming the Joe chose her solely on the basis of being black and female are truly showing shallowness of thought process (lack of thought process.)

That was the just the first two criteria...not the sole criteria.

All the mooing about how he should of chosen the most qualified person without consideration to g****r or race is also shallow. There are tons of qualifed people....there are also many qualified women of color...

Apparently you aren't paying attention to most of Bidens advisors. They have gone on record saying "Unless you choose a black woman as VP" you won't win the black v**e. And BTW black and/or female should not be any (not just the first two) consideration. There one AND ONLY one consideration. Who is the most qualified to be president. That is one of the reasons why McCain lost. Palin was not the best choice, as she was not qualified to be president.

I think I said those were his first two criteria...did you miss that.

Quit making crap up...you used to be better than that.

You know full well I neither criticized Biden nor Harris. My post was about the dishonest media, but feel free to reply on topic.

All true, but even with Palin on the ticket, i think McCain would have won had he campaigned to win instead of focusing all his energy on looking 'above the fray'. All he projected was civility, no energy, no passion, no 'fight'.

Perhaps you should read your post like it was written by someone else and try to imagine how it would be perceived.

Quite true. That is exactly the reason why almost all the "news" is slanted to the left. The "journalists" live in a l*****t bubble. All their friends and aquaintces (sp?) share the same viewpoints.

Wouldn't have mattered how it was written. The caricature has one mode of responding.

By any stretch of the imagination this is called pandering.
