Weak And/Or Biased
I gave this a try, and was quite disappointed. The reporter was covering Vice President Harris‘s trip to Guatemala and her interview with Lester Holt concerning our border crisis. They played the excerpt where Holt noted that Harris has not gone to the border, after she falsely claimed “we’ve been to the border,” but cut off the recording a line early, before she said “I haven’t been to Europe either,” an inane and newsworthy response that the whole country was talking about at the time. This editing smacks of an effort to protect Harris from herself. In addition, the reporter said that Harris’s staff “reminded” reporters that women of color “face a higher bar.” That is a debatable proposition at the very least, and the contrary is true in the case of Harris, who was given the vice-presidential nomination expressly because Joe Biden declared that he would give the position to a woman of color. To be objective and neutral, the reporter should’ve said that Harris’s staff “asserted,” “claimed,” or “argued” that women of color face a higher bar. Truly weak sauce.
