Tucker Carlson on Harris: ‘She’s Purely a Media Creation’
Vice President Kamala Harris has climbed the popularity charts, leaving political pundits and average Americans alike scratching their heads.
A new documentary by the Daily Caller, titled “Cleaning Up Kamala,” aims to unravel this mystery, exposing the media’s role in reshaping Harris’s public image.
The documentary, featuring insights from political insiders and a surprise appearance by Tucker Carlson, delves into the intricate workings of media manipulation.
“She’s purely a media creation,” Carlson asserts in the documentary.
He continued by stating that the media has “the power to create a virtual reality,” noting “it seems to be working” for the Harris campaign.
This statement encapsulates the central thesis of the outlet’s latest documentary; Harris’s rise is less about her political acumen and more about media machination.
Carlson, known for his sharp commentary, points out a peculiar timing also: “It’s interesting because it’s happening at exactly the moment that the media’s credibility and business model are both collapsing.”
Daily Caller noted that indeed, major news outlets like NBC News, CNN, CBS, ABC and the Washington Post are facing unprecedented challenges.
Their dwindling credibility, coupled with a failing business model, has created a perfect storm for what some call a “virtual reality” in political reporting.
Despite polls consistently showing low public trust in the media, Harris’s popularity surge suggests a disconnect.
The documentary argues that this paradox stems from the media’s ability to construct a narrative powerful enough to override public skepticism.
It posits that Harris, lacking a strong policy platform or grassroots support, has become a blank canvas for media portrayal.
It suggests that her public persona is carefully crafted, with every statement and appearance meticulously managed to present an image of competence and moderation; all themes Carlson is said to reiterate and emphasize during his interview with Daily Caller.
This image-making process, as described in the documentary, isn’t simple misinformation.
Instead, it employs what the filmmakers term “semantic backdoors” – a sophisticated method of weaving technically true statements into a broader, potentially misleading narrative.
The result, per the documentary, is a public perception at odds with reality.
It argues that speaking critically of Harris–describing her as “shrill, incompetent and dangerously radical”–now risks being perceived as dishonest, despite potentially being closer to the truth.
“Cleaning Up Kamala” represents a growing trend of independent media challenging mainstream narratives, the Daily Caller argues.
The outlet, positioning itself at the forefront of this movement, argues that such investigative work is crucial in an era where traditional media’s credibility is in question.
The documentary’s production was made possible by “Patriots,” highlighting the shift towards reader-funded journalism in the face of traditional media’s financial struggles.
As Harris’s star continues to rise and the 2024 election looms, “Cleaning Up Kamala” promises to be a talking point in political circles.
Whether it will impact public perception remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about media influence in American politics.
In an age of information overload, Daily Caller is sending a stark reminder to viewers: always question the narrative, regardless of its source.
