Harris is playing somewhat of a dangerous game with the lefty press. The lefty media is all too willing to engage with the dems and give them what they want to see in the media but they don't like just being frozen out and treated like a non-entity any more than Fox does. Right now, there is nothing coming out of the White House press corps or Biden interaction with the press. And he has no plans to change that ever. So the press is willing to write Joe off, because they are participating in the Kamala game. But then she gives the finger to them too. No, not how the lefty game is played. The way the game works is that you do a series of sit downs and press conferences at a lefty friendly venue where insiders have already given you the questions of issues in advance. Then you tell all the critics to buzz off because "I have done interviews." She is not even playing the game and she needs to watch her arse. That was the beginning of Joe's downfall when suddenly the various lefty papers/media started turning on Joe and were critical about his no-show/non appearances that did not even give them anything to spin. This is the lefty New York Times below. They don't like it. Kamala Harris Isn’t Giving Interviews. Any Questions? Critics say the vice president has been too cautious with the press. Her supporters think it’s the right strategy at the right time. The press has questions for Vice President Kamala Harris. She isn’t giving a whole lot of answers. In the nearly three weeks since President Biden withdrew his candidacy, catapulting Ms. Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket, the vice president has shown little eagerness to meet journalists in unscripted settings. She has not granted an interview or held a news conference. On Thursday, after a rally in Michigan, she held her first “gaggle” — an impromptu Q.-and-A. session — with reporters covering her campaign. It lasted 70 seconds. Ms. Harris replaced a Democratic nominee who has hosted fewer White House news conferences than any president since Ronald Reagan. Now she is taking a similarly cautious approach, relying on televised rallies and prepared statements amid a tightly controlled rollout of her candidacy. Asked on Thursday if she might sit for an interview anytime soon, Ms. Harris suggested that she would get through the convention first. “I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” she said, as aides signaled to the scrum of journalists that question time was over. Ms. Harris’s lack of engagement with the media has become a constant rallying cry on the political right, with Republican critics and Fox News stars accusing the vice president of ducking scrutiny. The Harris campaign says it is being thoughtful about how best to deploy its message, and to introduce a new candidate to crucial voters in battleground states. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/business/media/kamala-harris-press-interviews.html
