Incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris is all set to charm her way through a highly controlled interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, a scenario dripping with more scripted vibes than a reality show. This marks Kamala’s first unscripted appearance in six weeks, in light of her recent power grab that would make the quickest magician blush. Just picture this: the hallowed halls of CNN become a cozy coffee shop where the two engage in a friendly chat while the rest of America gasps over the audacity of it all.
Dana Bash, the self-appointed queen of CNN’s Kamala fan club, is on a mission—but not the kind that involves journalistic integrity. Instead, her primary goal is simple: keep Kamala’s candidacy from imploding faster than a cheap tent in a windstorm. Did credibility die somewhere in the ether? Because judging by CNN’s past decade, rocking the label of “serious news outlet” has long been tossed out the window along with any semblance of professionalism. Instead, these days, viewers are treated to the spectacle of reporters gushing over Kamala’s every word as if they’ve just witnessed the second coming.

The fact that Kamala’s interview is staged rather than live shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. After all, if the Vice President of the United States can’t manage a solo sit-down for the most crucial job in the world, it’s pretty clear that she isn’t exactly tapping into her inner Wonder Woman. Imagine the high-level meetings where Kamala’s campaign team sat around nervously, surely practicing “interview skills” as if they were preparing for a third-grade presentation. It’s hard to believe that after a plethora of interviews, she needs special conditions—almost as if she believes she’s auditioning for the role of a lifetime.
Meanwhile, Dana Bash seems to have more at stake than just her journalistic career; it’s her status among the woke elite that hangs in the balance. If she dares to question Kamala with half the fervor she lobs at conservative candidates, she knows the result could be catastrophic—not just for her ratings but for the precious social currency she clutches like it’s an Oscar nomination. Bash’s career would be over quicker than a liberal’s logic in a conservative debate if she dares to stray from the pre-approved script.
The arrangement suits both parties just fine: Bash can pretend to be tough while pulling a few editorial magic tricks behind the curtain, creating a Kamala bouquet from what could easily be a dumpster fire. A taped interview allows Dana to play the role of the inquisitive journalist while ensuring editing can spin whatever narrative they’d like. The game is clear—Democrats love the editing room because it allows them to shine while conservatives appear as the villains in a movie nobody wants to watch.
As the interview approaches, keep in mind the glaringly evident truth. The days when robust, hard-hitting journalism was expected are long gone, replaced by a corporate media landscape that prioritizes status over scrutiny. Dana Bash’s mission isn’t about revealing truths but conveniently crafting a narrative that preserves the status quo of leftist ideologies, twisting facts to fit the agenda. In this staged play of American politics, where the drama is scripted and the emotions are contrived, one can only watch in bemusement as they both revel in the far-left fantasy land they inhabit.
