The author critiques the corporate media&#8217;s attempts \u200dto reframe Harris as competent, contrasting this with their previous assertions regarding her \u200cresponsibilities\u2064 and the issues\u200d at the \u2063U.S. border. <\/p>\n<p>The piece highlights a perceived inconsistency in \u2064the media&#8217;s narrative, noting that outlets like Axios have\u2063 recently tried to distance\u200d Harris \u200bfrom the border crisis despite having previously labeled\u200d her as \u2063&#8221;border czar.&#8221; The author questions the motive behind this shift in reporting and expresses skepticism about the media&#8217;s\u2063 ability to effectively &#8220;reinvent&#8221; Harris\u200c for a skeptical American public. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, there is a sentiment that \u2063American voters are\u2064 not convinced by the media&#8217;s portrayal\u200b and are wary\u2063 of accepting Harris&#8217;s new narrative amid ongoing concerns about\u2064 her qualifications and leadership abilities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The reinvention of Kamala Harris requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordreference.com\/display\/10.1093\/oi\/authority.20110803100544310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suspension of disbelief<\/a> that only Hollywood and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-medias-transformation-of-kamala-harris-3\/\" title=\"The Media&#039;s Transformation of Kamala Harris\">kissing cousin corporate media<\/a> could deliver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is it any wonder that the same marketing team that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/politics\/358877\/biden-age-debate-media-coverage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insisted President Joe Biden wasn&rsquo;t slipping into cognitive applesauce<\/a> before our very eyes is now demanding that we believe his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-corporate-medias-transformation-of-kamala-harris\/\" title=\"The Corporate Media&#039;s Transformation of Kamala Harris\">grossly incompetent vice president<\/a> is up to the job of leading the free world?

Case in point, the fine journalists(?) at <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/axios\/status\/1816078350659494130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media outlets wagged their collective finger at Republicans for audaciously claiming that Biden, who created the open border debacle currently devouring America, put his feckless VP in charge of finding solutions to the mess of the administration&rsquo;s making. The Wall Street Journal led the charge in painting Harris a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/livecoverage\/biden-drops-out-election-2024\/card\/analysis-was-kamala-harris-actually-biden-s-border-czar--KUegJ0yUmHcgDoGmR0UW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;convenient scapegoat&rdquo;<\/a> of Republican rancor, not only insisting that the vice president&rsquo;s role was much narrower than had been routinely reported, but that she has acquitted herself nicely by announcing that Pepsi and Nestle would make investments in Central America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WT actual F! Talk about your Hollywood makeover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Axios took the cake, asserting in an X post that Harris never actually had the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The outlet&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/07\/24\/kamala-harris-border-czar-immigratin?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=editorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complaints<\/a> that the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TrumpWarRoom\/status\/1815801282742915522\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trump campaign<\/a> and Republicans like House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik have unfairly labeled Harris&rsquo; role, however, fall short in the face of its own reporting, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/04\/14\/harris-immigration-visit-mexico-guatemala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repeatedly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/04\/15\/immigration-biden-children-unaccompanied\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referred<\/a> to Harris as Biden&rsquo;s border czar,&rdquo; Boyd writes. Caught in its own crap, Axios added an editor&rsquo;s note to the original reporting, offering a late mea culpa that it &ldquo;was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a &lsquo;border czar.&rsquo;&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, pray tell, did Axios make this quick change this week of all weeks? We ask the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-medias-transformation-of-kamala-harris-2\/\" title=\"The Media&#039;s Transformation of Kamala Harris\">cross-examining attorney&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s question, of course, an answer clear to any mind still capable of reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Axios wasn&rsquo;t interested in that question, however. The publication did not respond to my request for comment, sent Wednesday afternoon. Here&rsquo;s what I asked:<\/p>\n<p><em>Can someone from Axios comment on why the publication suddenly has changed its narrative on Vice President Kamala Harris&rsquo; role regarding border\/immigration issues, particularly the identification of the VP as &ldquo;border czar&rdquo;? As noted, Axios has described&nbsp;Harris as &ldquo;border czar&rdquo; in at least one previous report. It seems Axios and other media outlets are attempting to distance the vice president from what clearly has been a failed initiative. Why is that?&nbsp;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Radio silence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Unbelievable<\/h2>\n<p>But let&rsquo;s be honest. The mainstream image consultants have their work cut out for them. It&rsquo;s no easy feat covering for a vacuous presidential candidate who chooses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cn05p714907o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">campaigning at a sorority<\/a> over meeting with the prime minister of a nation that saw more than 1,000 of its citizens, raped, tortured, murdered and desecrated by terrorists. Still, something tells me the same accomplice media that has reinvented Hamas as &ldquo;freedom fighters&rdquo; is up to the challenge of reinventing Harris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But here&rsquo;s the problem: American voters aren&rsquo;t buying Kamala&rsquo;s makeover. At least not yet. An MSNBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/morning-joe\/watch\/-i-think-she-s-an-idiot-wisconsin-female-trump-voters-weigh-in-on-harris-215542853858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">focus group<\/a> of Wisconsin women interviewed in the wake of Harris&rsquo; campaign stop in the critical swing state had some <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/25\/msnbc-focus-group-of-swing-state-voters-trashes-kamala-harris-i-think-shes-an-idiot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">damning things<\/a> to say about the Democratic Party&rsquo;s presumptive presidential candidate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One voter told MSNBC&rsquo;s Elise Jordan that Harris is worse than Biden, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-medias-transformation-of-kamala-harris\/\" title=\"The Media&#039;s Transformation of Kamala Harris\">hit basement level popularity ratings<\/a>. &ldquo;She doesn&rsquo;t even know what&rsquo;s going on at the border and that&rsquo;s what she was supposed to be doing and in charge of,&rdquo; the voter said.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think she&rsquo;s an idiot,&rdquo; said Mary, one of the women interviewed. &ldquo;Because she hasn&rsquo;t done anything in the time that she&rsquo;s had. We don&rsquo;t know anything about her as far as her three years so far in the White House. She&rsquo;s not real smart.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Would the real Kamala Harris please stand up? She has, and Mary knows it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the sad exclamation point to this rebuild: If the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/23\/secret-service-director-kimberly-cheatle-resigns-in-disgrace-more-than-a-week-after-attempt-on-trumps-life\/#:~:text=A%20day%20after%20a%20House,Cheatle%20has%20resigned%20in%20disgrace.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Secret Service<\/a> had devoted as much attention to protecting the GOP&rsquo;s presidential candidate as the corporate media have in protecting the image of the Democrats&rsquo; candidate, former President Donald Trump wouldn&rsquo;t have been shot in the face, two rallygoers wouldn&rsquo;t be recovering from critical injuries, and one very brave American would be alive and at home with his family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist.

It&#8217;s not surprising that the same marketing team that assured us President Joe Biden wasn&#8217;t losing his mental faculties is now asking us to accept that his inept vice president is capable of leading the free world. This is the same media that claims men can give birth, all white individuals are inherently racist, and that the phrase &#8220;from the river to the sea&#8221; isn&#8217;t a call for genocide, yet they are now trying to sell us a flawed narrative about Kamala Harris. <\/p>\n<p>The media that suggested former President Donald Trump was responsible for an assassination attempt is now engaged in damage control for Harris. Perhaps the most concerning aspect is how they are rewriting the narrative about her supposed role in the border crisis. <\/p>\n<p>As my colleague Jordan Boyd pointed out, the usual media outlets are now claiming that Biden never designated Harris as &#8220;border czar,&#8221; despite having reported otherwise for years. For instance, Axios has recently asserted that Harris never held that position, contradicting their previous reports that labeled her as such. <\/p>\n<p>The media has criticized Republicans for suggesting that Biden, who created the current border crisis, placed his ineffective vice president in charge of addressing it. The Wall Street Journal has portrayed Harris as a &#8220;convenient scapegoat&#8221; for Republican criticism, arguing that her role was much more limited than previously reported and that she has done well by announcing investments from companies like Pepsi and Nestle in Central America. <\/p>\n<p>Axios, however, took it a step further by claiming in a post that Harris never actually had the job. They later added an editor&#8217;s note acknowledging that they had incorrectly referred to her as &#8220;border czar.&#8221; The timing of this change raises questions, but Axios did not respond to my inquiry about their sudden shift in narrative regarding Harris&#8217;s role in border and immigration issues.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that mainstream media has a tough job ahead of them. It&#8217;s challenging to defend a lackluster presidential candidate who prioritizes campaigning at a sorority over addressing serious issues, such as meeting with a prime minister from a country facing severe violence. Yet, the same media that has rebranded Hamas as &#8220;freedom fighters&#8221; seems determined to reshape Harris&#8217;s image.<\/p>\n<p>However, American voters are not convinced by this makeover. An MSNBC focus group of women in Wisconsin, following Harris&#8217;s campaign visit, expressed harsh opinions about her. One voter stated that Harris is even less competent than Biden, who is already at a low approval rating. Another participant criticized Harris for her lack of action and knowledge regarding the border situation, calling her &#8220;an idiot&#8221; and questioning her intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, if the U.S. Secret Service had focused as much on protecting the GOP&#8217;s presidential candidate as corporate media has on safeguarding the image of the Democratic candidate, former President Donald Trump might not have faced an assassination attempt, and a brave American could still be alive today. <\/p>\n<p>Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist and has extensive experience in journalism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":656,"featured_media":2309497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-25-at-11.10.23-AM-1024x484.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[35048,32438,36172,36339,36174],"class_list":["post-2309493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-corporate-media","tag-kamala-harris","tag-media-representation","tag-political-narrative","tag-public-perception"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-25-at-11.10.23-AM-1024x484.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/656"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
