In a recent showcase of the legacy media's unquestionable bias, Stephen Colbert’s interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins revealed just how detached the mainstream press has become from genuine journalism.
During their discussion on the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Colbert jokingly praised CNN for its objectivity, an assertion met with laughter from the audience who are all too aware that the network has increasingly morphed into a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.
The media's shift in allegiance became glaringly apparent during the Obama era, when critical stories involving his background and controversial associations were largely ignored, allowing him a clear path to the presidency.
This pattern of favoritism continued, with Donald Trump facing relentless scrutiny and vilification, while President Biden has been sheltered from any serious examination of his policies or fitness for office.
As inflation spiraled to new heights and international relations deteriorated, Biden was consistently painted as a capable leader, highlighting a stark double standard in media treatment. Recent debates showed a different narrative—one where Biden visibly faltered against Trump, and for a brief moment, the media held him accountable.
However, that moment of accountability quickly faded as the press returned to its role as a loyal defender of the Democratic establishment. The sudden rise of Vice President Kamala Harris has intensified this dynamic; the same media that once questioned her candidacy are now elated to herald her as the future of the party, avoiding tough questions and critical analysis.
In the weeks following her nomination, Harris has yet to face significant scrutiny or accountability from the media, raising concerns over transparency and democratic integrity.
While some may believe the legacy media can shield the Harris campaign from criticism indefinitely, the American public is starting to see through the façade.
As the political landscape shifts, it’s crucial for voters to recognize the biases at play and demand more from a media landscape that has strayed so far from its original purpose of imparting the truth.
In an era defined by disinformation and selective reporting, the questions about who truly benefits from this disparity are becoming increasingly relevant.
