Look at how The Times is positioning this. As they call for Biden's head but even before she might ascend to the candidacy, it's tearing down Harris. Doing her job is "trying to quiet her doubters." They write about the odds of success not the stakes of failure: fascism.

What was that Trump said about the free press - enemy of the people? Looks like some took him up on it to prove him true.
