At the end of her second year in office, Vice President kamala harris she complains again that the press has not covered her fairly.
“There are things that I’ve done as vice president that fully demonstrate the strength of my leadership as vice president that haven’t gotten the kind of coverage that I think [the] Dobbs [decision] He receivedHarris told liberal Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart earlier this week.
The vice president was criticized in february for appearing “perpetually off guard” after she gave a speech in Munich that critics called “word salad”. However, Capehart said Harris’ speech in Munich was one of his top three achievements for 2022, part of a gushing article declaring Harris had an “excellent” year.

The columnist revealed that he has known Harris for a decade and claimed that she was right to find his media coverage unfair at times.
“Harris is right about that. Despite having a TV reporter and press cadre at most of her public events, the vice president attracts little attention. The office is sometimes frustrating, as one of her predecessors said,’ It’s not worth a bucket.'” warm, ‘um, saliva,'” Capehart wrote.
“And much of the attention it has received, especially in its first year, has been harsh. Stories about staff departures were routinely publicized as messing up narratives that unfairly questioned Harris’ competence,” he added.
The columnist, an enthusiastic supporter of the Democratic Party, was one of the few journalists to get a personal interview with President Biden this year.
The mass exodus of officials from the vice president’s office earlier in the year was ignored on ABC, NBC and CBS, according to a media watchdog group.

Capehart suggested that Harris’ coverage has been negatively affected by her ethnicity and gender.
“[T]he nation’s first black woman and first female vice president from South Asia has also had to deal with the backlash and low expectations that come with ossified and shattered notions of who should be in office,” she wrote.
Harris previously complained that he would get more favorable coverage if he were a white man like all of his predecessors in the job, The New York Times reported last December.

Harris took it upon himself to manage the crisis, but has not visited since June 2021.
In recent comments to NPR, Harris blamed the republicans for not being “willing to participate in any significant reform” that would solve most of the problems on the border.
