With the Harris campaign, papers like the New York Post and cable stations [View all]
like FOX News will suffer greatly from a vacuum of credibility.
Up until now, both outlets got a free pass. They didn't "report news". They relied upon speculation and ad hominin (personal attacks) stances.
Example: Up until yesterday, banner headline at NY Post that Obamas wouldn't endorse Kamala Harris for President.
Obama doesnt believe Kamala Harris can beat Trump, which is why he hasnt endorsed her: sources
Former President Barack Obama hasnt endorsed Kamala Harris presidential bid because he doesnt think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.
Following President Bidens shocking exit from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris but Obama is a notable exception.
Obamas very upset because he knows she cant win, the Biden family source told The Post.

Today, the Post had to correct the story without admitting it had its "facts" completely wrong. Because of the overwhelming evidence it was wrong.
Expect to see more of that as the campaign develops.
