Kamala Harris: "Fierce Prosecutor" vs the "Progressive Activist" & Lara Bazelon's Big Fail

We can all see how the US media creates reality.

The US media created the "reality" of an unlikeable HRC, and we know how that turned out for the country.

From the article:

Kamala Harris’s record on criminal justice in California is complicated. Bits are tossed out into the ether like chum to sharks by lazy minds, because they fear Kamala Harris. They fear her unequivocal nature. They fear the precision of her mind. And they fear her unapologetic bullshit detector as the totality of their presence in the world is the sum of their bullshit. To be fair, I would say that about Elizabeth Warren, Kristen Gillibrand and Amy Klobachar as well. But Harris is a particular case because confrontation and precision of mind and speech is what she does best.

The US media detests complexity. One is either all good or all bad.

And Harris, like HRC, is very intelligent, and intelligent females run into the same glass wall that HRC did. What is seen as desirable in a male is seen as harsh, or strident in a female. And this transforms the female from competent to unlikeable for the US media.
