In a political landscape where transparency is elusive, allegations concerning CNN’s handling of a Kamala Harris interview are raising eyebrows to the level of cartoon characters in shock. According to Tom Bevan from RealClearPolitics, if these allegations hold any weight, CNN may find itself at the center of a scandal that eclipses even its past transgressions. Historically speaking, it’s not new for big networks to play fast and loose with the truth—remember when NBC edited George Zimmerman’s 911 call to paint him as a racist monster? The audacity is remarkable, especially when considering that Zimmerman wasn’t even running for office. In this case, it seems the anti-Trump network might have resorted to some serious editing to ennoble Harris’s unelectable agenda.
The supposedly truncated interview lasted all of 18 minutes, a time span that could barely cover a round of golf. What ensued was a chaotic mix of garbled jargon strung together with the sincerest lack of accountability. Harris, ever the tactician, must have sensed the simmering issues surrounding Joe Biden’s reelection status. While stories about the president’s frail condition grew legs from both American and European sources, Harris’s demeanor suggested a cover-up of epic proportions. She appeared wholly unfazed without the slightest twinge of remorse for any role she played in deflecting attention from Biden’s declining health—a state of affairs that half the nation had already grasped.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Allegedly based on a single tweet, the claims suggest that the interview was cut down from a hefty 41 minutes, during which vital topics such as fracking and the Green New Deal were to be discussed. According to sources, the Harris camp furiously objected to roughly half of the content, leading to the pre-taped effort being reduced to the skeletal version that aired. If true, this could be a massive scandal, potentially revealing why viewers had to endure a half-baked display instead of real political discourse.
There’s a chance this could simply be a tactic to coerce CNN into releasing the entire interview transcript. However, with the peculiarities surrounding this case, it seems rather unlikely. The initial evidence hints at CNN host Dana Bash having to practically guide Harris through the questions to prevent her from plummeting into a verbal abyss. This incident provides a glaring map of the Democratic media complex’s inner workings, with Harris serving as an exhibit A for any remaining skeptics.
Voters are entitled to a fair and full picture of what transpired during this spectacle. If fracking did come up, that could spell a virtual death sentence for Harris’s electoral prospects in critical states like Pennsylvania. Should she have reiterated her previous calls for banning it, that’s certainly good news for Republicans as they gear up for the battle ahead—especially in states that could tip the scales in the upcoming election.
If any evidence supports these claims, CNN might find itself playing the role of voter suppressors rather than objective reporters. However, this should be no surprise, given the network’s track record of scandalous behavior. With all that’s at stake, one can’t help but chuckle at the irony: the very people who fabricate their narratives still wonder why they find themselves the butt of jokes across the nation.
