“Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are sparring over whether Harris ever worked at a McDonald’s restaurant during her college years. This dispute reveals the standard of proof the media will henceforth use if Harris wins the election. Any statement that President Harris utters will be treated as gospel truth, and any critic will be presumed scurrilous if not bigoted. This echoes how the media ridiculed the damning evidence disclosed in October 2020 from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. On Sunday, Trump [campaigned] briefly at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania to draw attention to the controversy. The New York Times responded with an article headlined, ‘Harris and McDonald’s: A College Job That Became a Trump Line of Attack.’ Except that the Times found no real evidence that Harris actually worked at McDonald’s.” (10/24/24)
