“Time” Magazine is under fire from both sides of the political spectrum over a glowing profile of Vice-President Harris that was released despite Harris’ decision to decline an interview with the outlet.
The new cover features a portrait of Harris done in a style reminiscent of the Obama campaign’s famous “Hope and Change” posters from 2008. Titled “The Re-Introduction of Kamala Harris,” the cover is complete with a caption reading “Her Moment” in the bottom right-hand corner.
The magazine opted to release the title despite the fact that Harris declined an interview with the outlet. As of this report, Harris has gone 22 days without sitting for a formal interview or hosting a press conference after she received the Democrat Party nomination for president without receiving a single primary vote.
“Harris has yet to do a single substantive interview or to explain her policy shifts. (Her campaign denied a request for an interview for this story),” the outlet wrote in a brief note.
“The way the US corporate media has tried to transform Kamala Harris from a consensus joke to a historic leader in a matter of weeks, without even pretending to care about her policies or ideas, shows how blatant US propaganda has become,” they wrote.
The new issue is set to release in full on August 26.
