Dear MoveOn member,
In the time since it was announced that President Biden was stepping down from the presidential campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the new prospective Democratic nominee, irresponsible journalism touting racist and sexist dog whistles has already been published.
- Media outlets like Fox News have a history of racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Harris.1,2 We don't have to repeat the tired tropes and offensive attacks being wielded against Harris. We've heard them all before.
- When Harris was selected as vice president on Biden's presidential ticket, 61% of news coverage mentioned her race or gender, and 25% of the coverage included sexist or racist stereotyping.3,4 It's unacceptable.
We can't let history keep repeating itself.
It's time to rein in the media and demand fair and unbiased reporting, because we know that as Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans lose their grip on power, the attacks against Kamala Harris are only going to get worse...
