Believing that Vice President Kamala Harris’s so-called rise in popularity is purely organic is like believing every word coming from the mainstream media—a stretch at best. Tucker Carlson, never one to hold back, dives into this very topic in a new documentary from The Daily Caller called “Cleaning Up Kamala.” It pulls back the curtain on how the media has essentially manufactured Harris’s public image, relying heavily on political insiders to explain how the game is played.
Carlson doesn’t mince words, calling Harris nothing more than a “media creation.” He points out that the media has mastered the art of creating “virtual reality,” and somehow, this artificial image of Harris seems to be resonating with some voters. You have to wonder, though, how much of that “resonance” is real and how much is just clever packaging. Carlson isn’t shy about drawing attention to the timing of it all, remarking on how Harris’s manufactured image comes just as the media’s credibility is in freefall. It’s almost like a desperate last-ditch effort to salvage their fading influence.
Meanwhile, big media outlets like CNN, NBC, and The Washington Post are facing their own crisis—plummeting trust and relevance. Public trust in the media is at an all-time low, and Harris’s sudden rise to popularity isn’t exactly matching up with how Americans are feeling about the news they consume. After all, a Rasmussen poll last year found that almost two-thirds of Americans see the media as “the enemy of the people.” That kind of sentiment doesn’t exactly paint a rosy picture for the outlets propping up Harris’s image.
But this isn’t just about spreading misinformation—it’s about something more subtle. The documentary introduces the concept of “semantic backdoors,” where technically true statements are woven into a misleading narrative. It’s not just about twisting the facts, it’s about manipulating perception. And that manipulation has managed to elevate Harris in the public eye, even though the reality is far from the picture being painted.
The documentary, “Cleaning Up Kamala,” represents a growing trend where independent media is challenging the mainstream narratives. As more people tune out from the usual suspects in the news, they’re turning to alternative sources that are more than happy to poke holes in these manufactured images. Whether this documentary will chip away at Harris’s carefully constructed persona remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the media’s attempts to clean up her image aren’t going unchallenged.
