PBS Spread Harris Optimism in Swing States, Puerto Ricans, Even Iowa – D’oh!

The PBS News Hour’s most partisan reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, displayed her favoritism during her long Election Night coverage from Kamala Harris’s election night headquarters. But her pro-Harris hype started before Election Day, with happy talk about Harris’s prospects in most of the swing states, none of which panned out for her campaign.

The day before on the PBS News Hour, Barron-Lopez hyped up a shock Iowa poll: “Harris even appears to have a slight lead in decidedly red Iowa. The final Des Moines Register-Mediacom poll shows Harris ahead by three points among Iowa voters.” Oops.
