The mainstream media was called out for its “dereliction of duty” in confronting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham and former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed the press for not holding Harris accountable as she has avoided any press conferences or a sit-down interview with reporters since she took over the top spot on the Democratic presidential ticket.
“It was sort of hard to hear the question last night, but it sounded a little bit like, ‘Madam Vice President, what do you think?’ That was the tough one she got in the first access that they really had, an opportunity to shout something at her. I think this is a total dereliction of duty by the press,” Ham said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” Friday.
“We are not sure in this moment whether the Middle East is on the verge of a large conflagration, where Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is getting plea deals. A lot of things are going on right now, and I’m not really sure who’s doing the job. President Biden answered some questions last night. He also stood slack-jawed next to her while she answered the one she was given,” the columnist continued. “And I think we can all say that this feels sort of like a power-sharing agreement of some kind, about which the media has no curiosity at all.”
“There’s not one think piece about how we should be concerned about this,” Ham continued.
And look, if she wants to be the President of the United States, we should know where she stands on issues. She keeps issuing these statements from her staff that say she’s completely reversed her decisions. The press, if they do not press her on these things, are allowing her to cosplay president with all the trappings of that job without the pressures of that job. And that is not fair to the American people, because they should have a full understanding of exactly what they’re getting into,” she added. “She needs to be pressed.”
McEnany noted that it had been 12 days since being crowned as Biden’s would-be successor and Harris had still not held a a formal press conference.
“I think Kamala herself loses in a historic landslide. Kamala-plus-media is something entirely different. This is why Kamala, the new basement for her is the teleprompter. She wants a scripted campaign. … That is what she’s relying on. Where is the press?” she asked on “Outnumbered” Friday.
