Yesterday, when the Democrat Party coalesced almost immediately around Kamala Harris as the heir apparent after Joe Biden (who is still missing) announced that he would not seek re-election, conservative commentator Stephen Miller (no, the other one) issued a very prescient warning.
Guy Benson (@guypbenson) ~ Brace for an absolutely overwhelming effort to rehabilitate Kamala Harris’ image. They’ve made various failed attempts at political makeovers & “re-boots” over the last few years. But with the stakes so high, this one will be off the charts.
And it will involve quite a bit of aggressive insistence from many of the same people who aggressively insisted about Biden’s condition until they couldn’t anymore.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ The media campaign you're about to see for Kamala Harris is going to make the 2008 Obama media look like an elementary school puppet show.
Scarily accurate. Less than 24 hours later, we are already beginning to see what he meant.
Edward-Isaac Dovere is a 'senior reporter' at CNN. His previous stints in 'journalism' were at The Atlantic and Politico, so you know he's a serious journalist who just calls balls and strikes and doesn't carry blue pom-poms at all.
This morning, Dovere has some breaking news sure to win him a Pulitzer Prize. The tweet also provides a signal of how the media is going to treat Harris from now to November.
Behold the glorious journalisming:
Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) ~ One person familiar with the VP yesterday:
Through all her calls at the Naval Observatory, Harris wore a hooded Howard University sweatshirt, workout sweats and sneakers.
They got pizza and salad for dinner. She went with her favorite topping: anchovies.
Ah ha! Kamala-ala-Bimbo doesn't reek of tuna, but rather anchovies ... BUT, either way, she still stinks of fish.
Hoodies? Sneakers? ANCHOVIES? That is some hard-hitting reporting, CNN.
Edward R. Morrow bows to your greatness, Mr. Dovere.
He followed up this breaking news tweet with a puff article he wrote for CNN, praising Harris as a prosecutor. Strangely, he did not interview any of the men she unjustly kept in prison in preparing the article.
Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) ~ California Lt. Gov. @EleniForCA (who's a Harris friend):
"She’s always been ready, from the moment she accepted to be his running mate. It’s been clear that he’s older, and might not complete two terms."
http://www.cnn.com/2024/07/22/politics/harris-strategy-against-trump/index.html
But it was the anchovies that clearly got everyone's attention.
Hollaria Briden, Esq. (@HollyBriden) ~ Anchovies are the new chocky chocky chip.
Hmmm ... maybe Piglosi has some gourmet anchovy ice cream?
Dovere is working on a five-part series of Harris' favorite pizza styles and toppings.
Well, most of all ... the word on the street is that Kamala-ala-Bimbo is a HUGE fan of sausage ... she just can't get enough sausage!
Brad Slager - Scrubbing Down In a Bloodbath (@MartiniShark) ~ This has shed so much detail into the inner workings of the party and the bold decisions made this weekend. Dovere’s exclusive as to what pizza toppings Kamala opted for will be studied for generations at J-schools! The Pulitzer committee has been alerted to the proper spellings.
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ CNN is out here doing People Magazine style reporting on what Kamala was wearing and eating yesterday as if that has any bearing on anything that’s going on. Guess we’ve hit the “desperately trying to find a way to make Harris seem cool and relatable” part of the media hype cycle.
Well, Kamala does relate to the seamier side of our society, don'tcha know ...
The hype cycle will be RELENTLESS. Count on it. Vogue is probably already working on putting Harris on its next cover.
#CMFL (@seeemmeffell) ~ Not enough “journalists” have been laid off this year.
Not NEARLY enough.
Latentem (@Latentem) ~ Thank goodness for reporters, otherwise I might never know what a possible future president is wearing and eating.
We're just not worthy of their courage and heroism.
Well, ya gotta admit ... anchovies on pizza is pretty gnarly.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ Hard-hitting journalism here.
Dee Cook (@DonaldCookJr) ~ Deep dives on Biden’s medical condition to “slay queen” overnight. Amazing.
The journos are nothing if not nimble, right?
Dr. Richard Harambe (@Richard_Harambe) ~ So we know what Kamala was wearing and what toppings she had on her pizza but we know nothing about what Joe did yesterday.
Brandon is sleeping with the fishes ... specifically, anchovies.
SHHHHHHHHH! We're not supposed to talk about that. Biden is just enjoying a nice weekend ... at Bernie's.
Just Mindy (@just_mindy) ~ can you tell us the color of her sneakers and sweatshirts? It’s important I can get the full visual.
Don't worry. Her favorite colors will be discussed by Anderson Cooper and a full CNN panel within the week.
Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ This is now how the press are going to be. They're going to fawn over everything Kamala does, down to what brand of shampoo she uses.
Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) ~ She wore a sweatshirt? She ate pizza?? You mean, like a ... person? STOP THE PRESSES!!!!
Kaya (@sisterinferior) ~ She’s just like us.
We're about five minutes away from an Obama-style 'Hope and Change' poster with Harris staring off into the horizon.
And it won't be her campaign that creates it. It will be CNN.
Ahmed Al Asliken (@assliken) ~ We all know how she enjoys salty foods and liquids.
dubs (@mrbigdubya) ~
What better way to wrap up than with the Auron MacIntyre quote that will live forever for its accuracy?
Miller wasn't the only one who warned about how deep in the tank the media will be for Kamala Harris. Plenty of others knew this as well.
But to see it on full display in less than 24 hours -- while the world STILL has not seen Joe Biden and Harris doesn't even have the nomination yet -- is impressive, even for an apparatchik like Edward-Isaac Dovere.
We can't wait for his next article: 'Here Are Five Pictures of Puppies Side-By-Side With Five Pictures of Kamala Harris.'
