31 MINUTES of Softballs for Kamala: No COVID. No Tara Reade in First Interview

[See NewsBusters for more.] To call the first interview with Kamala Harris as a vice presidential candidate a softball would be an insult to softball interviews. MSNBC on Friday aired, uninterrupted, new contributor Errin Haines talking to Harris for 31 minutes solid. This is the same networks that aired just three percent of Donald Trump’s campaign kickoff speech. Haines ignored dealing with COVID as an issue. She censored any mention of the Democrat previously saying she thought Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, should be heard. Instead, Haines gushed, “I'm just wondering about your thoughts about how this moment intersects with your own historic candidacy.” In another question, the journalist lauded, “If you become the first female vice president in the history of this country, what specifically can we expect you to fight for the women of this country?”
