Hopefully the mods are okay with a little journalism about journalism so that people know where Politico stands in terms of being a trustworthy source.

The headline in question:

‘Next question’: Harris evades questions about her identity

The background to the headline is from Harris’ recent CNN interview:

“I want to ask you about your opponent, Donald Trump,” Bash said to Harris. “I was a little bit surprised. People might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face-to-face. That’s gonna change soon. But what I wanna ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you ‘happened’ to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.”

“Same old, tired playbook,” Harris replied. “Next question, please.”

    Point of order from an American: Politico is a wholly owned subsidiary of German multinational Axel Springer.

              It isn’t, but it borrows so many loan words from other languages it sometimes pretends to be. Dont feel bad about it.

        Better regulation in EU and Germany. And better freedom of speech too.
        Many Americans confuse the right to lie with freedom of speech.
