While Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank is positing the insane theory — nay, proof — that the media treats President Joe Biden as badly or worse than it did Donald Trump. There’s even a graph showing that coverage of Biden was far, far more positive … until August when the Afghanistan debacle was impossible not to cover. It’s since been trending right back up, though.
Elsewhere in the Post, columnist James Hohmann is showing that the media can be harsh with Vice President Kamala Harris, whose favorability rating is down in the 20s. A couple of weeks ago, the Washington Free Beacon wrote that “sources close to Kamala Harris claim that her plummeting popularity is due to racial discrimination from Biden and his office” and that “the Biden administration only defends white men.” Now we’re hearing from former staffers of Sen. Kamala Harris that she was a bit of a monster to work for.
Staffers who have worked for Kamala Harris say one of her consistent problems is that she refuses to wade into briefing materials prepared by staff members, then berates employees when she appears unprepared because she wouldn’t do the necessary prep work. https://t.co/X0HsOHefJm

This is gold:
One former Kamala Harris staffer puts it this way: “With Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

That’s difficult to believe.
Shocker. 🙄

Sounds like the sort of problems that would lead one to come in third place in their own state during the primaries, and/or to drop out before Iowa.
Oh, wait……

This is the result of someone thinking they're smarter than everyone else.

I’m old enough to remember when failing to read your daily briefing materials was considered, by most on the left, conduct that rendered you unfit for office…

Shocker. She wants the spoils but doesn’t want the work…

In short, she’s “lazy.” And, she blames others for her failings. Many of us already knew this about her. She’s no leader. Unfortunately, most voters didn’t know these important facts about her prior to the election because the MSM was too busy protecting the Dem ticket.

Remember how the D press loved her questioning in high-profile Senate hearings such as Kavanaugh's? It was just accusatory snark, nothing involving any complexity or depth. Same with her short-lived presidential campaign. And that's all she offers as VP.

You only have to watch the Kavanaugh hearings or see her comparing DHS/ICE agents to the KKK to know what kind of person she is. Narcissism & hubris at the highest levels possible drive every move. Pray for Biden’s continued good health; the alternative is just too frightening.

"Her defenders say the criticism against her is often steeped in the same racism and sexism that have followed a woman who has been a first in every job she’s done over the past two decades."

She also laughs at inappropriate times, like she's nervous and insecure. Perhaps being unprepared explains that in part.
What an awful job, the Veep.— Buck Garrett (@BuckGarrett4) December 4, 2021
She is not smart. That's putting it nicely. Completely unqualified for the job.

She’s a mess.

You mean to tell me this person is insufferable, unprepared, and toxic? #KamalaHarris pic.twitter.com/ggcdjkIGjk

Sounds about right.

When you don’t earn your way you are doomed to failure. Same goes for kids promoted despite not grasping the material. They are eventually found out.

Good analogy.
Why is WaPo running negative stories about Harris? That's the question.
— FourZeroFive (@FourZeroFive1) December 4, 2021
Yeah, why … is it because reporters keep asking Pete Buttigieg about his plans for 2024?
