(TheIndependentStar.com) – In a blatant attempt to buy favorable media coverage, Kamala Harris’ campaign was caught red-handed funneling $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
The payment was made just weeks before she appeared a glowing MSNBC interview during her failed presidential campaign.
This revelation exposes the corrupt side of liberal media and raises serious questions about biased journalistic truth in America.
According to Federal Election Commission records, the Harris-Walz campaign made two separate donations of $250,000 each to Sharpton’s nonprofit on September 5 and October 1.
These payments were part of a larger $5.4 million effort to court minority voters, mainly black and Latino activists, in a desperate attempt to shore up the administration’s sagging support.
Just weeks after receiving this sizeable “donation,” Sharpton conducted a softball interview with Harris on MSNBC on October 20.
During the interview, Sharpton showered Harris with praise, even comparing her to civil rights icon Shirley Chisholm.
The reverend conveniently failed to disclose the massive sum his organization had received from Harris’ campaign.
When confronted about this clear conflict of interest, MSNBC claimed ignorance. A network spokesperson stated, “MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network.”
“This kind of entanglement harms the credibility of the journalist, the news organization, and journalism overall, and credibility is difficult to restore,” warned The Society of Professional Journalists in response to the scandal.
“While Sharpton may not consider himself a journalist, many viewers do,” noted The Society of Professional Journalists, highlighting the ethical problem MSNBC has found itself in.
The Harris campaign’s financial schemes did not stop with Sharpton. They also spent $1 million on Oprah Winfrey’s production company and six figures on a podcast interview set.
These expenditures were part of a staggering $880 million spending spree that left the campaign $20 million in debt despite raising about $1 billion.
Ironically, Harris still managed to lose all seven battleground states to President-elect Donald Trump, even with the stunning spending and media manipulation.
Harris’ declining support among key voter groups like black and Latino men spoke volumes about her inability to connect with the American people, no matter how much money she threw at the problem.
