WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Laura Ingraham pulled no punches as she exposed what she calls the media's blatant bias in favor of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

In a fiery segment on 'The Ingraham Angle', the conservative commentator highlighted the mainstream media's efforts to shield the vice president from criticism and prop up her image as the Democratic Party's future.

Ingraham's message was clear: "If Americans want to make the media happy, they’ll vote for Harris, but if they want to make themselves happy, they should reelect President Trump."



 

Kamala Harris' failure to hold a press conference

Laura Ingraham stressed how Kamala Harris has been coddled while Republicans face relentless grilling.

She highlighted an interview with JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, delivering his stance on immigration while exposing the media's silence on the presumptive Democrat nominee's controversial policies.

"You've now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she supported policies that opened the American southern border," Vance asked CNN's host, Dana Bash. 

He added, "I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she lied to the American about Joe Biden's middle facility for the office. You are interviewing me.. because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview."

The Fox presenter lauded Vance saying he "exposed the press brilliantly," contrasting his willingness to answer tough questions with Harris’ apparent avoidance of them.

"It's been 22 days since the party dumped Biden and embraced Kamala Harris and she still refuses to submit herself to a full press conference," asserted Ingraham.

She went on, "Is she just too busy maybe in her duties as vice president? So she just doesn't have time. Well, unlikely because we haven't heard her even referenced on any of the big issues that are happening now. Look, we have a US military escalation happening tonight in the Middle East is Kamala on board? Has she been consulted?"

"And then we have a group from the Treasury Department, the SEC, and the Federal Reserve rushing over to Beijing to reassure them my guess about terrorists. They're coming off of Kamala one. So I don't know, Kamala has a view on that. Who knows? But it's not just national security and international trade matters that she's avoiding. We don't know," claimed Ingraham.

Laura Ingraham slams TIME magazine's over-the-top praise of the Harris campaign

Laura Ingraham didn't hold back as she referenced a TIME Magazine piece, "The Reintroduction of Kamala Harris," that likened the Democratic nominee's campaign to a "Beyonce concert."

The Fox host recited a few lines from the article: "The soundtrack suggested a Beyonce concert. The light-up bracelets evoked the Era's Tour and the exuberant crowd, more than 14,000 strong lined up in the rain resembled the early days of Barack Obama fans packed into the overflow spaces, waving homemade signs made of glitter and glue as drum lines roared... She no longer has to be a loyal deputy to the president who calls all the shots. Now the moment is finally hers."

Ingraham promptly said, "Now who needs to do interviews when you have press like that? Who needs to have a press secretary when you press like that?"

Charlotte Alter's article is a part of TIME Magazine's August 26 issue, which includes a cover of Harris. 

Laura Ingraham urges Americans to choose Donald Trump over Kamala Harris

Laura Ingraham closed her segment with a stark warning that while Kamala Harris enjoys a media-created aura of success, everyday Americans are struggling with rising costs, failing businesses, and a deteriorating economy.

She claimed, "Every day, Americans are suffering under bad economic policy. Every day, businesses that have survived are shutting down. Students who could have gotten a solid education, they're getting woke propaganda instead."

"Couples that could have gotten married have given up. Young men are seeing that crime pays better than an honest day's work and our enemies are getting stronger," added the host.

Ingraham urged voters to look beyond the media bias and choose a leader who isn’t afraid to face tough questions.

She proclaimed, "Now we don't need leaders who hide from the truth. We see the truth. We need leaders like Trump and Vance who aren't afraid to take tough questions because they actually have answers. So, if Americans want to make the media happy, yeah, they'll vote for Harris, but if they want to make themselves happy, they should reelect President Trump."
