CNN reporter expresses concern that the media is too focused on interviewing Harris, causing them to be preoccupied and unable to effectively report on her campaign.

On Thursday, a CNN reporter expressed concern that the media is too focused on interviewing Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, causing her to feel "nervous."

"Audie Cornish, host of CNN's Audio podcast "The Assignment," expressed concern that the media is too focused on the number of conversations and access that a candidate has in valuable settings, rather than the impact of the campaign."

Immediately following the vice president's sitting down with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for a CNN interview with Dana Bash, Cornish made his remarks.

Since becoming the presumptive nominee, she has not given an in-depth interview with the media and has not held a press conference in 40 days.

Since being named the top of the Democratic ticket, Harris has mostly shied away from the media, replacing President Biden after he dropped out of the race. Furthermore, the vice president rarely responded to media inquiries during the campaign.

Cornish stated that Harris's back-and-forth with Republicans during the hearing showed her ability to handle tough media scrutiny, prompting him to ask, "So, how many more times?"

That doesn't matter much, she said.

While Harris excels at posing incisive questions to those who require examination, the scrutiny has intensified when she herself has been under the spotlight.

Since she became the Democratic ticket's top candidate, Harris has faced criticism due to her lack of media access, which allowed her to dodge tough questions about her past policy stances.

During a CNN interview with Bash, Harris stated that she would not ban fracking if elected, as she had made her stance on the issue clear during the 2020 election.

"I made it clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking, and as vice president, I did not ban it. As president, I will not ban it," Harris stated.

Before Harris was chosen as Biden's running mate in 2019 and subsequently dropped her presidential bid, she stated in a CNN town hall that she supported banning fracking on her first day in office.

The interview with CNN comes just 68 days before Election Day.
