Journalist Mark Halperin ripped CNN's interview of Vice President Harris as a softball treatment of the Democratic nominee with less than 70 days to the election.
Journalist Mark Halperin delivered a scathing review of Vice President Kamala Harris' first interview since emerging as the Democratic nominee, calling it a 'disaster for journalism.' Halperin characterized the highly anticipated interview as a dud, saying Harris only performed decently because CNN's Dana Bash was too soft on her. 'Kamala Harris did good enough but she largely did good enough because the questions were not even close to good enough. The questions were soft.
When people say she was good enough, she was. The word salad was minimal. Her tone was good. She was confident, being interviewed by someone she was friendly with,' he remarked. 'I think it was a non-event. I don't know how many more interviews she plans to do, but I think it was a disaster for journalism.
think its very unfortunate because almost nothing came out of that to allow the American people to understand what kind of president she would be,' the journalist lamented. Fox News Digital reached out to CNN for comment, but did not immediately hear back. Halperin wasn't the only figure criticizing the network for being too easy on Harris on Friday. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Penn.
Still, the veteran journalist had a good night,' The New York Times also hailed. 'Conducting one of the most prominent interviews of her career, she ticked through the biggest questions looming over Ms. Harris’s young candidacy, including what specific plans, exactly, she would pursue and why she hadn’t carried out some of her proposals while serving as vice president.'
