This trend can be attributed to the predominantly left-leaning media, which is highlighting Harris&#8217;s &#8220;joyful&#8221; campaign while intensifying criticism of former President Donald Trump. Voters report feeling inundated with positive stories about Harris; a recent Morning Consult poll indicates that 47% have heard something favorable about her compared to only 33% for Trump, creating a significant double-digit gap. The analysis notes that for three consecutive weeks since launching her campaign, more voters have reported hearing positive (47%) rather than negative (33%) news about Harris, giving her a net buzz rating that surpasses Trump&#8217;s by an impressive 33 points.<\/p>\n<p>Even liberal audiences are skeptical of CNN\u2019s objectivity. During an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the audience laughed when Colbert claimed CNN was unbiased in its reporting. In head-to-head polling, Harris leads Trump 47%-44%, although this represents a slight decline from her previous four-point advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The liberal media\u2019s support for Harris has drawn criticism from conservative outlets and commentators who point out discrepancies in how similar issues are covered for both candidates\u2014Trump often faces backlash while Harris receives praise. For instance, CBS News has been accused of favoring Kamala by promoting her plan to eliminate taxes on tips while previously criticizing Trump for proposing the same policy months earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there have been instances where journalists appear to advocate directly for political actions; one Washington Post reporter urged White House officials to intervene and prevent Elon Musk from interviewing Trump on his platform X (formerly Twitter)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2323727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/trump_harris_republican_panic.webp.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32438,4188,5894,15638],"class_list":["post-2323726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-kamala-harris","tag-media","tag-politics","tag-polls"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/trump_harris_republican_panic.webp.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323726","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\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
