A recent viral video highlights perceived media bias in CNN's coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris compared to GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance, with critics accusing Dana Bash of conducting a 'softball interview' with Harris while grilling Vance with tough questions. GOP strategist Andrew Surabian and others have pointed out the stark contrast in Bash's questioning styles, noting that she offered softer tones and leading questions to Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Meanwhile, despite initial concerns over Vance's past comments, Trump has praised his aggressive campaigning alongside him, finding stability in his performance. Polls indicate mixed reactions to Vance, with his approval ratings improving among less educated voters but declining among college graduates and independent women. Critics argue that Bash's interview style and lack of follow-ups during the Harris-Walz interview missed opportunities to challenge their responses. Overall, the contrasting interviews have sparked discussions on media bias and the effectiveness of political questioning.
