With the Harris campaign, papers like the New York Post and cable stations

like FOX News will suffer greatly from a vacuum of credibility.

Up until now, both outlets got a free pass. They didn't "report news". They relied upon speculation and ad hominin (personal attacks) stances.

Example: Up until yesterday, banner headline at NY Post that Obamas wouldn't endorse Kamala Harris for President.
Obama doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can beat Trump, which is why he hasn’t endorsed her: sources
Former President Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.

Following President Biden’s shocking exit from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception.

“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.

Today, the Post had to correct the story without admitting it had its "facts" completely wrong. Because of the overwhelming evidence it was wrong.

Expect to see more of that as the campaign develops.

Magats are in panic mode. The bullshit lies they are posting are so desperate. I won't list them but one stuck out claiming that TSF is trouncing Kamala with Independents.

They are trying desperately to regain the narrative, their problem is that the truth lasts forever while lies usually die sooner or later.

Yes, they are flooding the MSM with mud.

Judging by what VP Harris was wearing on the call.

The campaign probably decided when they thought would be the best time to release the tape.

Let them speculate and make all their talking points, and then BAM, knock them down. I don't know if its intentional or not, but I love it.
