The mainstream media is fawning over Tim Walz, praising him as the perfect addition to the Democratic ticket, and hopeful that his presence will increase their chances of winning the election in November after a long period of panic, anxiety and low confidence.
“Journalists,” political commentators and cable news hosts are characterizing him as a rural, “folksy” moderate with Middle America appeal that brings balance to the ticket, with the potential to reach independents and Never Trump Republicans.
The Media Research Center reported:
Like we saw on ABC and NBC, Tuesday morning's CBS News Special Report heralded Vice President Kamala Harris's pick of Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her 2024 running mate, calling him an “amiable” “centrist” with a “scrappy” but “easygoing” demeanor. On top of that, he was even seen as dreamy given he's equally “comfortable talking in a t-shirt and a baseball cap as he is talking in a suit as he is talking in a tuxedo.”
Costa later boasted of “centrist” Walz as someone “who seems amiable, easy-going, can crack a joke, talks about hot dish up in Minnesota, that famous dish they love to do — the casserole, can talk about fishing, but he's also someone, it must be noted, who politically is well liked by progressives”
This isn't an accurate portrayal of Walz or his record at all. He isn't just “well liked” by progressive — he is a progressive, and has said so himself on more than one occasion. In a campaign fundraising video, he said “don't ever shy away from our progressive values. One person's ‘socialism' is another person's ‘neighborliness.'”
As governor, he cozied up to Black Lives Matter and let them ravage his cities for three days straight before calling in the National Guard. He abandoned his former pro-gun stance, pushing for some of the most aggressive gun control in the country. He gave driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, joking that if Trump's wall was 25 feet tall he'd invest in a 30 foot ladder company. He made Minnesota a “transgender sanctuary state” and even went as far as signing a bill that shelters minors who travel across state lines to get transgender surgeries and medication without parental consent and denies parents custody of their children if they refuse consent. He replaced the Minnesota state flag with something resembling a Somali regional flag.
What's especially concerning is he says there's “no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy” when those terms are so ambiguous, with no real standard of application, used most often to target and silence political opposition.
While Walz may enjoy hunting and home cooked meals, his values aren't in line with the average midwestern voter and they haven't been for some time. While he may come from “flyover country,” he has much more in common ideologically with his comrades in Seattle and Boston.
This is the furthest left presidential ticket in recent history, and news outlets have a responsibility to tell voters the truth about it.

“Media Lapdogs” is far more descriptive of today’s reporters and journalists. They must not have any pride or integrity.
