Former CNN political analyst Chris Cilizza on Friday said Vice President Kamala Harris is not conducting many interviews because of her weak performances.
Harris on Wednesday sat down for her first national solo interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Cillizza, responding to an audience question on his YouTube channel, said he “didn’t think she was great” in the MSNBC interview and noted Harris has struggled in past interviews as well.
“I thought Stephanie Ruhle was exactly who I thought she would be, which is, I thought she was pro-Harris but fair, right? When Harris didn’t answer a question, I thought she was like, ‘Well, that’s not really answering the question.’ So she clearly prefers Harris to Trump — Ruhle does — but I didn’t think it was like over-the-top ridiculous,” Cillizza said.
Ruhle on Sept. 20 downplayed the importance of Harris answering policy questions because of the “threat” former President Donald Trump poses “to democracy.”
“But I didn’t think Harris was great. I thought on tariffs her answer wasn’t particularly good, on the economy her answer wasn’t particularly good,” Cillizza added. “I just — she’s not great in those settings, like she wasn’t great in the CNN interview, she wasn’t great in the MSNBC interview. There’s a reason she’s not doing a lot of those interviews.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
