Washington Post caught scrubbing Kamala Harris ‘prisoner’ story
Kamala Harris,Media Bias,Media Industry,Politics
The Washington Post scrubbed an unflattering anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris crassly laughing at the thought of a prisoner begging for a drink of water — then backtracked Friday after an eagle-eyed reporter took notice.
Harris made the comments in a July 2019 Washington Post profile about her relationship with her sister and trusted aide, Maya Harris, when the former California prosecutor was running for president.
But that story disappeared from the site — with its link redirecting to a newer version published on Jan. 11, sans anecdote.
