I had thought that after the liberal media was exposed for its shameless attempts to cover for President Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental and physical condition, mainstream outlets would maybe take a moment for a collective mea culpa.
Fat chance.
Instead, Biden’s allies on the left quickly turned their cheerleading efforts from the president (once it became blatantly obvious he was in bad shape) to Vice President Kamala Harris, now that it looks like she will be the Democratic Party's replacement on the presidential ticket.
Some of the media's largest players are proving their newfound devotion to Harris by attempting to rewrite her past - and some of their own coverage.
Shortly after Biden took office in 2021, the president appointed Harris to "Lead the White House effort to tackle the migration challenge at the U.S. southern border and work with Central American nations to address root causes of the problem."
Harris bothered to visit the border only once - and only after being shamed in an interview for not having done so.
In 2021, the outlet reported that "Biden puts Harris in charge of border crisis." Another story used the phrase "Border czar."
To make matters worse, Axios added an editor's note to the recent article, stating: "This article has been updated and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a 'border czar' in 2021.' ". While no "Correction" was deemed necessary for three years, suddenly it's a matter of incredible importance.
A supposedly nonpartisan organization that tracks congressional voting records, GovTrack, has simply waved its wand and made a 2019 page on its site dedicated to Harris' voting record go "Poof."
That page accurately referred to Harris' record that year as the most liberal in the Senate - beating out even self-declared democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Apparently, that could be seen as unhelpful to Harris' crowning as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
