Kamala Harris has sat for just one and a half interviews since she was anointed the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, Donald Trump just survived a second assassination attempt.
So, it’s seemingly easier to threaten the life of the Republican nominee than it is to interview the Democratic one. That really says all you need to know about the state of American politics.
Harris has dodged, dipped, ducked, dived and dodged interviews as much as possible. She sat for one with CNN alongside her running mate, apparently needing a big strong man like Tim Walz to shield her from all the not-so-tough questions. She also sat one-on-one with an ABC affiliate in Philadelphia on Friday. Being generous, we’ll tally that up to 1.5 “real” interviews. Yet the corporate media don’t seem to care that they’re being denied access in what they all keep assuring is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Meanwhile, Trump survived yet another assassination attempt Sunday evening. We have a name and some speculation on motive, including that the shooter hated Trump, according to the Daily Mail. But don’t expect to get much more out of the FBI and Secret Service, who buried the first shooting completely. They still expect us to believe the first shooter was the only Zoomer on Earth with no social media presence. Of course, the corporate press couldn’t be bothered to dig.

It would be nice to live in a country where the press has more access to the Democratic nominee than would-be assassins have to the Republican nominee. And it would be great to have a media that could at least put on the pretense of doing their job.
