Ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s presumed presidential nominee, the news media have worked to correct what it calls “misinformation” about her. Harris was not a “DEI hire,” they say, meaning Biden did not choose her for his Vice President because she’s a black woman. Harris was never border czar and wasn’t responsible for the quintupling of migrants crossing the border. And, no, say the media, Harris does not support a ban on fracking.
But in the media’s so-called fact-checking, they have spread misinformation. Biden explicitly said he would choose a black woman as Vice President after black Democratic activists and the media urged him to; as such, Harris was indeed a “DEI hire.” The media in 2021 widely referred to Harris as “border czar,” and her responsibilities were to deal with the so-called “root causes of migration.” And Harris had supported a ban on fracking when she ran in the Democratic primary in 2019 and only changed it a few days ago in response to Trump’s attacks.
