This year is the most anti-democratic campaign ever.
Would the media prefer to help Harris win but lose further credibility themselves by failing to ask why she has disowned her past three decades of leftist agendas?
By selecting the hard-left Walz, Harris reminds the nation who runs the Democratic Party.
