Danielle Alvarez Critiques Media Favoritism

Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser from the Trump campaign, appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” exhibiting firm discontent with the media’s portrayal of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. During her critique, she asserted that the media bias effectively shielded both politicians from critical examination throughout their campaign period, leading to voters being misled. This revealing statement was backed by various specific examples, contributing to suspicions of media influence on political outcomes.

Alvarez did not hold back in her accusations against the media, pinpointing their alleged complicity in what she referred to as a “perceived deception” orchestrated by Harris and Biden. She emphasized the lack of scrutiny regarding Harris’ record and policy positions, emphasizing her belief that the media is purposely avoiding questions that could reveal shortcomings. This, Alvarez argues, prevented voters from fully understanding the backgrounds and capabilities of the current administration figures.

It is no surprise Crooked Joe Biden is losing Hispanics in poll after poll to President Donald J. Trump, who will rebuild our economy, lower prices, lower taxes, secure our border, and uplift families. (4/5)

Importance of Media Scrutiny in Politics

Alvarez’s criticism further underlined the necessity of challenging mainstream media, suggesting that the essence of a democratic society depends on holding political figures accountable. “You know what we really do need to challenge the mainstream media. They allowed Joe Biden to pull the wool over their eyes all the sudden on that debate stage,” Alvarez stated. “They were alarmed. They couldn’t believe that they had been duped and they are now in bed honeymooning with Kamala Harris and allowing her to dupe them in the same way. And so I think President Trump is absolutely going to give an incredible debate performance.”

This sentiment was evident while discussing the past performances of President Biden, particularly mentioning the challenging first debate of the 2024 campaign against Donald J. Trump. The debate saw Biden struggling significantly, appearing confused and unable to provide clear-cut answers, contrasting sharply with Trump’s confident and forceful presentation. Alvarez linked these occurrences to a broader strategy where Harris could ascend her ranks sans support from Democratic voters, all because of a lack of intense media debates and scrutiny.

It is shameful that Crooked Joe Biden has turned his back on Hispanics and REFUSED a debate for the Hispanic community! (1/5)

Alvarez Harsh on Harris’ Debating Skills

Highlighting that the media was initially taken in by Biden and now being equally complacent regarding Harris, Alvarez attributed much of Harris’ success to the media’s deliberate oversight. She condemned Harris’ reliance on scripted speeches, never truly addressing her past failures. By avoiding rigorous questioning, the media not only compromised voters’ understanding but also set a dangerous precedent, allowing incompetent representations to go unchallenged at critical political junctures.

“23 days since a coup against the sitting president of the United States, since ascending the throne, unable to answer for her failures over the last three and a half years,” the adviser claimed, emphasizing the vice president’s reliance on scripted speeches. “It’s a disgrace.”

In particular, Alvarez argued that the upcoming presidential debate might be the only occasion where real scrutiny can be exercised. Given the evident reluctance of the media to challenge Harris, she believes this may serve as the last chance for the public to witness a transparent examination of their capabilities and achievements.
