As Vice President Kamala Harris considers granting media interviews, her campaign and legacy media outlets have latched onto the term "Femininomenon" to portray her as a stylish and exciting figure. While Harris attempts to gain momentum among young voters, the media has embraced this branding, obscuring her lack of substance or clear positions.
In a bid to generate excitement and build momentum, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has adopted the term "Femininomenon," a fusion of "feminine" and "phenomenon." This branding effort seeks to connect with young voters through pop culture references and merchandise, such as T-shirts emblazoned with the term.

The media has eagerly embraced this marketing campaign, portraying Harris as a hip and relatable figure. From NBC's "Today" show defining the "brat summer" aesthetic to Politico's headline "Kamala's Hot Brat Summer," the focus has shifted from Harris's policies to her perceived coolness.
CNN anchor Kasie Hunt summed up the media's approach: "It's a vibes election." This sentiment reflects the unwillingness of legacy press outlets to hold Harris accountable for her extreme left-wing positions, fearing it could hinder her chances of defeating former President Trump.

The media's excessive celebration of Harris echoes a trend that began with Presidents John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. However, unlike these charismatic and eloquent leaders, Harris's "vibes" are being artificially inflated due to her lack of natural charisma or strong public speaking abilities.
The media's attempt to force Harris's popularity is evident in the fawning coverage she has received. Journalists have lauded her "muscular patriotism," found saccharine sweetness in a bakery's "Kamala Cake," and worshipped her "cooking wisdom."

CNN's Chris Wallace gushed about Harris's "love affair" with voters, while outlets like CNN, the New York Times, and the LA Times celebrated her "Tan Suit Surprise." CNN even published a staged story about Harris's grandniece watching her nomination, with the headline focused on the possibility of Harris becoming the first female president.
Legacy media outlets have abandoned their journalistic integrity in favor of promoting a manufactured candidate. They have sacrificed substance for style, celebrating a term like "Femininomenon" instead of demanding accountability from Harris.

This blind adoration mirrors the media's efforts to counter Trump, whose spontaneous photo of him standing up to an assassin's bullet generated more memorable resonance than any staged photo opportunity.
As Harris considers media interviews, it is clear that the legacy media will continue to prioritize hype over substance. They will promote the "Femininomenon" narrative, urging us to embrace endless joy regardless of Harris's lack of qualifications or clear policy positions.
