We didn’t need the "60 Minutes” story or a (second?) Vogue cover to convince us that the media are rooting heavily for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. And before those involved start clutching their pearls and breathlessly reiterating the fiction that they are “independent journalists,” keep in mind that no one really believes that. Maybe they don't even believe it.

And that’s fine. This is about politics and governance, not media biases.

If Harris wins, the media can congratulate themselves for having helped. There is nothing wrong with that. All sorts of people participate in the public square in all sorts of ways. Some people run for office, others support think tanks, and some go into journalism. Many of us are activists in some way.

But if she loses, I imagine a lot of those media voices will be leading the chorus of voices trying to explain how such a “tragedy” could take place in this country. Their introspection will likely include whether America really wants a dictator, whether the Electoral College should be replaced, or if the “deplorables” are just too stupid to elect Harris.

The following is my message to those mainstream journalists. If you fall into that category, please print this out now and put it in an envelope marked "Open on Nov. 6 if Harris loses." So here it is:

So here it is: blame yourselves.

I know it seems........
