(Discern Report)—The Associated Press has sparked controversy by suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris may not need to engage with the press as extensively as traditionally expected. In a recent article, the AP questioned the necessity of sit-down interviews for presidential candidates, noting that the landscape of media interaction has shifted significantly.
Harris, who has yet to hold a press conference or participate in an interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, indicated on Thursday that she plans to schedule a sit-down interview before the end of the month. This announcement came after former President Trump criticized her for avoiding media interactions during a lengthy press conference.
The AP’s report emphasized that the dynamics of media interactions with politicians have changed, suggesting that the traditional role of journalists as gatekeepers to presidential candidates is fading. The article quoted GOP strategist Kevin Madden, who highlighted the modern political strategy of controlling the message, which often involves avoiding situations where candidates do not have control over the narrative.
Critics have expressed concern over the AP’s stance, arguing that it undermines the role of journalists in holding politicians accountable. The article has stirred debate on social media platforms, with some commentators accusing the AP of protecting Harris from scrutiny and others questioning the integrity of the media organization.
"The vice president hasn’t given an interview and has barely engaged with reporters since becoming the Democratic choice to replace Joe Biden."
THIS IS NOT OK! And it's journalists' job to say so, to hold politicians accountable. I am embarrassed for the profession. https://t.co/HuY9HrbfQy

Imagine being the @AP and making the case against a presidential candidate answering questions. Beyond embarrassing. https://t.co/XbvITymIkH

The national press are now stumping for Harris to not do interviews.
News organizations would rather protect Kamala Harris than make news. Astonishing. https://t.co/UvwVdkuJPd

AP is nothing but propaganda and lies

The AP did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the matter.
Harris’s approach to media interactions has been under increased scrutiny since she became the Democratic nominee. While she has enjoyed positive media coverage, there is growing criticism over her limited engagement with reporters, particularly in comparison to the more open approach of her opponents, including Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
