When watching CBS News Political Correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns’s interview of former President Donald Trump, with its disproportionate advocacy for abortion, one is reminded of that classic meme featuring a MEMRI-translated still of Egyptian journalist Tamer Amin who said, reacting to news coverage of a pornography scandal: “If you call this journalism, I swear by Allah that I will shoot myself right here.” Watch as Huey-Burns asks Trump about whether or not he will enforce the Comstock Act with regard to the availability of abortion pills: CBS NEWS 24/7 DAILY REPORT WITH JOHN DICKERSON 8/19/24 6:12 PM CAITLIN HUEY-BURNS: As president, would you enforce the Comstock Act which could prohibit the sale of- or the distribution of medication abortion by mail? DONALD TRUMP: No. We will be discussing specifics of it, but generally speaking, no, I would not. HUEY-BURNS: You would not enforce the Comstock Act? TRUMP: I would not do that. HUEY-BURNS: Should medication abortion be widely available? TRUMP: Well, it's going to be available. It is now. As I know it, the Supreme Court has said “keep it going the way it is”. I will enforce and agree with the Supreme Court, but basically, they’ve said keep it the way it is now. This is what closed out the broadcast portion of the interview, which consisted of questions on the following: Election results acceptance  Election results acceptance (follow) Post-assassination attempt PTSD Post-assassination attempt PTSD (follow) List of potential SCOTUS nominees Regrets over repeal of Roe Regrets over repeal of Roe (follow) Comstock Act enforcement Comstock Act enforcement (follow) It bears noting that Trump’s statements in Pennsylvania were about inflation and the economy: the top two issues of importance to voters according to CBS’s own pre-DNC polling. Abortion ranked 7th, but was the bulk of Huey-Burns’s questioning of Trump. In effect, Huey-Burns went out there to carry Kamala Harris’s water on abortion. Also take note of the sneaky questions on post-assassination PTSD: a backdoor attempt to suggest Trump might be unwell: Very sneaky PTSD question from CBS's Caitlin-Huey Burns: a backdoor way to seed an unwellness narrative off of an assassination attempt. pic.twitter.com/AEU5C7td8X — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) August 20, 2024 Again, there was 10 minutes of this on CBS News 24/7- an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign ahead of the DNC, and this is just Day One. Lest you be tempted to feel any sort of way for my colleagues and I who watch this dreck on a daily basis, I’ll remind you of the words of Hyman Roth to Don Michael Corleone: This is the business we’ve chosen.  

A surrogate for the Kamala Harris campaign appeared to confirm criticism about the news media when he told ABC News that they could depend on the media to explain their policies and values. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been excoriated by her critics for avoiding a sit-down interview to defend her policies and qualifications, but a DNC delegate tried to excuse her avoidance by claiming they trusted the media to be on their side. 'Not a great look for the press that the Harris strategy is entirely reliant on them.' Kaivan Shroff made the comments while speaking on ABC News when challenged about Harris' media avoidance. "In fact, I think Vice President Harris has been incredibly brave to roll out an ambitions economic agenda, because we all know how this works. The more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart," said Shroff."But she's saying, I trust the American people, I trust the journalists to explain these policies and our values to folks," Shroff added. "And I think when that happens, that will be successful for Democrats."The bizarre claim was immediately circulated on social media as evidence that Democrats know the mainstream media is biased in favor of liberal policies. "These clowns genuinely don’t know the difference between journalism and propaganda, and it shows," read one response. "Absolutely incredible. Harris officials admitting they’re counting on the media to sell Kamala’s price controls for her," said another detractor. "Not a great look for the press that the Harris strategy is entirely reliant on them covering for her not providing details on her planned policies," read a popular response. Shroff posted a different section of the interview, during which he said Harris didn't have a responsibility to talk to the legacy media and then added that it would be a problem if she didn't do so in the future. "Sure if she doesn't give those interviews you're talking about in the coming months, I do think that would be unacceptable," he said. "But I know that's not gonna happen, so I think it's a moot point." The Kamala Harris campaign was ridiculed recently when it declined to comment about an article documenting how the campaign had refused to speak to reporters. Like Blaze News?
