WATCH: No 'Joy' in PA for Tim Walz As Reporter Spills Beans on How Campaign Shut Media Down

One of the most troubling aspects of the Harris-Walz campaign if not the most troubling has been their penchant for deliberately bypassing questions from the mainstream media, whether they be random questions shouted out of sheer desperation on tarmacs or formal sitdown interviews.

And even though Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris did finally do an interview last Thursday after a month and a half of campaigning, there were several things wrong with it. For starters, it was with the Democrat apologists at CNN, which means calling it an “interview” is being very charitable. It was also short, pre-taped, and included vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as a security blanket of sorts.

But an even more disturbing component to their media avoidance strategy involves how campaign staffers at the local level apparently have been told either to trail reporters when they’re trying to talk to rally attendees or to cut them off completely (or both). 

We saw this during a Biden-Harris rally in Nevada (when Biden was still the nominee) in July and then again during a Kamala for President rally in Pennsylvania in late July, where staffers tried to block reporters from interviewing rallygoers beyond the “press pen.”

The latest instance was once again in PA on Wednesday, where Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz was shielded from press scrutiny, with the media being shut down and told “not to disrupt the program” as relayed by Fox43’s Alyssa Kratz in a Facebook post:

Gov. Tim Walz speaking to people calling into Lancaster County Democratic Committee field office. His daughter Hope is with him.

Spoke to supporters here for about 6 or 7 minutes. Walz is not taking questions from the media while here. We were also not allowed to put microphones up by Gov. Walz while he was speaking.

One reporter tried shouting a question and we were told to “not disrupt the program.”

And in this clip, watch as he gets up and walks off when a reporter asks if he plans on taking any policy questions:

This… is just not cool. And it is, of course, undemocratic to boot. But somehow, the press keeps complying with it:

It’s also a bad look for the media when the focal point of visits from candidates for higher office are their food habits and milkshake flavor preferences, as we saw last Thursday when Walz visited North Carolina, and which we reported on here.

In any event, as long as there is media compliance with this strategy the more the campaign will keep doing it, which is why GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), need to continue hammering both of them on the lack of policy details and their studious avoidance of the press.

The people deserve to hear from the candidates on where they stand and how they will lead. The fact that the Harris-Walz campaign is engaged in a sustained strategy of evasion, dodging, and weaving tells us a lot about them at this stage in the game – with none of it being good.
