Since Kamala Harris was democratically elected as the Democratic Party nominee for president coronated by Barack Obama and George Clooney while Joe Biden was shoved out the back door into the gutter, the legacy media have been falling over themselves to give her the kind of glowing reviews that would make Joseph Stalin blush.

They rebranded her bizarre silence-filling cackle that makes an appearance every time she doesn't know the answer to a question as joy; they've gushed over crowd sizes at her concert-rallies, as if crowd sizes even matter when you love the person; and now, The Atlantic gives us the most shameless act of propaganda we've seen since David French sold his soul to The New York Times:

The paywalled article (because who doesn't love capitalism!) begins as follows:

The Trump campaign says that Kamala Harris is a radical leftist. The far left fears that she's a neoliberal cop. They can't both be right.

But pinning down exactly where the vice president and Democratic nominee for president sits on the political spectrum is not so easy. She has gone from her first state-level election to the top of the presidential ticket in 14 years, far faster than Joe Biden, and she spent much of that time in positions that don't provide an extensive record on a wide range of policy issues. During her 2020 presidential bid, she took some positions to the left of her prior record — several of which she's now walked back in her current bid for president.

Ignoring the now-unwritten fact that GovTrack placed her in the "most politically left" category for the 116th Congress as a U.S. Senator, the "some positions to the left of her prior record" being "seized upon" by Donald Trump supporters include free healthcare for illegal immigrants, the banning of fracking, and bailing out rioters.

Man, it's just so hard to pin her down, isn't it, Atlantic?

Do better.
