SIAP

Berman starts off the interview by asking what Kamala is doing today, but he already knew the answer. He then goes into very unfamiliar territory for CNN and held a Democrat candidate's spokeswoman's feet to the fire by pressing her on (essentially) "there's nothing on her schedule today, so why isn't she doing an interview? She could do one right now..."

This isn't MSNBC, but if this is happening even once from CNN, it's pretty telling in that it means some of the media isn't in lock-step with the Kamala Is Awesome narrative much of the media has been trying to sell us.

Oh, they’re definitely in lockstep.

He needs to call her out.

“How can I say it to her face when nobody can even find her?”

Followed up with: "You could ask her, but she refuses to do interviews."

There's so much potential there.

Mickey Goldmill and VOR told me she doesn’t need to do interviews. She’s NOT Trump and that’s enough.

Cool story or maybe it isn't this dude was embedded with my unit in Iraq 2003. He seemed cool from the times I talked to him but dude was scared af which is understandable as we were in a war. That is all I got

As much as I dislike Berman and CNN, Berman actually seems to have some respect and pride in his profession and hold polticians to some level. That said, it is also clear that he pretty much hates Trump, but that is virtually all of the "media," even many of he few on the Conservative side, because Trump challenges the entire profession.

They are correct. Kamala is just a media and deep state cardboard cutout. They will do the majority of the campaigning.

Absolutely they are. And he didn't press her that hard. It was actually pretty softballish.

Pressing her would've been this...Trump and Vance routinely do interviews and meet with the press. She won't. Why not?

The most amazing thing about that video to me is that woman being able to just spout bullshite. She wasn't good at it either. She sounded like talking bullshite.

They are working hard to hide how stupid she is, which works because her supporters are even more stupid than she is somehow.

Or he'll talk about whether or not she's black or a dot style Indian. You really don't know with him.

And in this election cycle, that looks to be the case. This vapid, insipid twat of a woman stands just as much of a chance (if not more) at winning the Presidency as Trump does.

Maybe we ought to start looking a little harder at what this says about Trump and a little less about the American voter.

She sounded like every single political spokesperson I've ever listened to. No better, no worse. And the guy who the OP thinks did his job, let her praddle on like that.
