We’re used to the commercial lamestream media shamelessly promoting the Democratic Party, but sometimes even they can make your jaw drop with their blatant propaganda efforts. In the case of this disgusting Time magazine cover and accompanying article, the obsequious fangirl coverage is so over the top that you wonder if it was actually put together by adults rather than teenagers.
Look at this glowing depiction of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. As the author of this tweet notes, did the artist confuse her with Tulsi Gabbard?
Redefinition. Not reintroduction.
And why does she look like an Indian woman or a mix between her and Tulsi Gabbard? To be forthright, it’s pretty weird.

If you are like many other people, your first thought is: I have seen posters like this before. Oh yes, in the former Soviet Union.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald did not feel A shiver runs up his leg:
The way the US media transformed Kamala Harris from a national embarrassment into a pioneer of change overnight – without even pretending to care about anything she thinks or believes – is a striking testament to how effective the science of propaganda is: https://t.co/cOlJ9P7vnn

The Article itself will make you cringe even more. Doesn’t this read like it was typed by an ecstatic Swiftie right after a substantial show?
The soundtrack was reminiscent of a Beyoncé concert. The glowing bracelets were reminiscent of Epoch tourAnd the boisterous crowd – more than 14,000 people queuing in the rain – was reminiscent of the early days of Barack ObamaOn August 6, Vice President Kamala Harris was greeted at a Philadelphia arena with a reception unlike any Democratic presidential candidate has received in years. Fans crowded into packed rooms, waving homemade signs made of glitter and glue as drumlines roared. As Harris introduced her novel running mate, the governor of Minnesota, Tim WalzThe cheering lasted more than a minute.
The article is titled “Reintroducing Kamala Harris,” and like similar headlines and stories in newspapers, magazines and websites across the country, it attempts to portray a candidate who has been reborn, undergone a magical metamorphosis, transforming from an ugly caterpillar into a handsome butterfly.
The Rockstar Treatment:
NEW: Internal tensions weigh on Kamala Harris’ campaign, even as the press announces nothing but “joy”
Megyn Kelly reveals the fantasy repackaging of Kamala with a novel word they utilize to rename her
But the reality is: Nothing has changed about this woman in the last 22 days, not her performance, not her embarrassing behavior, not her lack of performance as vice president – nothing. And yet the media seems to be pumping out story after story in lockstep about how electrifying and competent she has suddenly become.
Sometimes it actually feels like we’re living in North Korea or the former USSR because most major media outlets are blatant agitprop machines for the regime. By the way, I would find it equally disgusting if a media outlet treated a Republican with such obsequious admiration; that’s not journalism, it’s just fanfiction.
I feel like they at least used to pretend to be a little more neutral – I even liked Time magazine back then. But then I remember: Whatever the left touches, the left destroys.
