The media may have run out of shame a while ago, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still come up with new ways to embarrass themselves.
For every foaming-at-the-mouth piece reacting to Donald Trump behaving like Donald Trump, there’s at least one puff piece about a Dem politician.
Kamala Harris is the subject of a lot of puff pieces lately. Including this one from Washington Post national reporter Chelsea Janes:
Video of Kamala Harris and her Chucks was viewed 8 million times Monday, more than even many of the Biden campaign’s planned video spots in recent weeks. https://t.co/DZUqxduOkA

OMG, you guys! Squee! Yaaaas Kween Kamala!

Janes’ take was so popular that she actually had to prevent fans from replying:
Too bad. We would’ve loved to have seen all the mad love for Kamala and her Chucks.
The Washington Post journalists are now not allowing any replies to their tweets covering this very important topic hahahaha. https://t.co/cjpItLnumJ

I can see why she’s hiding replies to this. 90% would be “who cares?” https://t.co/ilkiHQoquS

As it turns out, that’s probably it:
“Who cares about her shoes” I see some of you wondering so politely?
What’s clear in reaction to Harris and the Chucks is how much seeing themselves in a new kind of candidate — a Black woman, an Indian-American, someone who likes Chucks, whatever — matters to a lot of people. https://t.co/FAEqNfqLbl

No, what’s clear is how much worshiping Kamala Harris matters to Chelsea Janes.
Kamala Harris was never cool, she never will be cool…wearing Chuck Taylors won't make her cool. https://t.co/g1Fhv7pqZK pic.twitter.com/ubVGRi1sVE

And trying to pass this stuff off as journalism won’t make Chelsea Janes or the Washington Post cool.
Why did she refuse to take questions from the press? https://t.co/5uZ6kV5utu

Kamala meets with anti Semites and praises an accused rapist, but all @washingtonpost can do is fall all over themselves admiring her shoes. https://t.co/0yMy51gI7S

It’s almost as if the media don’t want to actually delve into Kamala Harris’ actual positions or character and just focus on superficial crap.
This is some serious journalism going on! @chelsea_janes digs deep to get to the heart of what’s important. We should all be thankful for this important work. https://t.co/kV20TokESO

This tweet is awesome.
1) It shows the cowardice of the press for restricting comments on something they know the'll get dragged over.
2) It highlights the desperation of the press to try to make anything 'cool' from such a pathetic ticket.
The WaPo is nothing but a tabloid. https://t.co/DbfHuJjOlM

That list just keeps growing and growing.
