Antifar 01/22/21 12:58:28 PM #1:	When The Washington Post published a 2019 campaign trail feature about then-presidential hopeful Kamala Harris' close relationship with her sister, it opened with a memorable anecdote in which Harris bizarrely compared the rigors of the campaign trail tolife behind bars. And then proceeded to laughat the idea of an inmate begging for a sip of water. It was an extremely cringeworthy moment, even by the high standards set by Harris' failed presidential campaign. But now that Harris is vice president, that awful moment has seemingly vanished from the Post's website after the paper "updated" the piece earlier this month. Here's how the first seven paragraphs of that article, published by the Post on July 23, 2019, and bylined by features reporter Ben Terris, originally appeared: It was the Fourth of July, Independence Day, and Kamala Harris was explaining to her sister, Maya, that campaigns are like prisons. She'd been recounting how in the days before the Democratic debate in Miami life had actually slowed down to a manageable pace. Kamala, Maya and the rest of the team had spent three days prepping for that contest in a beach-facing hotel suite, where they closed the curtains to blot out the fun. But for all the hours of studying policy and practicing the zingers that would supercharge her candidacy, the trip allowed for a break in an otherwise all-encompassing schedule. "I actually got sleep," Kamala said, sitting in a Hilton conference room, beside her sister, and smiling as she recalled walks on the beach with her husband and that one morning SoulCycle class she was able to take. "That kind of stuff," Kamala said between sips of iced tea, "which was about bringing a little normal to the days, that was a treat for me." "I mean, in some ways it was a treat," Maya said. "But not really." "It's a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, 'A morsel of food please,' " Kamala said shoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell. "'And water! I just want wahtahhh.'Your standards really go out the fing window." Kamala burst into laughter. It should go without saying that choosing to run for the most powerful political office in the world is absolutely nothing like being behind barsand getting to squeeze in a morning SoulCycle session before sitting down for an interview with a national newspaper is not remotely the same as dying of thirst. None of this is funny. The scene was a brilliant bit of reporting and writing because it did what few political features can accomplish: showing, rather than telling, something about the candidate at the center. Harris made her name as a prosecutor, and her track record includes defending dirty cops and laughing off criticism of her history of throwing poor parents in jail when their kids missed school. The Post profile provided a mask-slipping moment that seemed to perfectly capture a warped sense of justice and lack of basic human dignityall in just a few hundred words. We've republished that passage here because you won't find it on the Post's website any longer. The rest of the profile is still there, but with a new opening anecdote (presumably authored by political reporter Chelsea Janes, whose byline has been added to the piece and who has authored several fawning pieces about Harris this week) that compares now-Vice President Harris' relationship with her sister to that of former President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. After the opening section, the rest of the piece appears nearly identical to the version originally published in July 2019. But what happened to the old version? The headline for that 18-month-old article still appears on Terris' page on the Post website with the original date it was published, but clicking the link redirects users to the new version published this monththe version that omits Harris' awful commentary about campaigns and prisons. Other links to the original piece also now redirect to the sanitized version. Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown, for example, highlighted the Terris profile of Harris on the July 24, 2019, version of the Reason Roundup. Click through that link now, however, and you won't find Harris' inartful "joke" about inmates dying of thirst. https://bit.ly/3644gY1 --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:949792979] in WaPo edits...

A chance to what? I made a random comment. I don't like Biden and Harris. I don't care that they are a lot better than Trump. I don't care they are Democrats and I don't care that Kamala is a black woman.

I agree edits should only really be made to reflect new facts or corrections to prior statements (like if they retracted it because it turns out she never said it or something).

legendary_zell 01/22/21 3:19:30 PM #43:	This is an unacceptable thing for a newspaper to do and an unacceptable thing for a prosecutor to joke about, especially one with Harris's baggage concerning her treatment of people caught up in the criminal justice system. It would be one thing if she was an advocate for the accused but she very much wasn't and it's very cringey to make these types of jokes when you've actually taken actions that square with the attitude behind them. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:949798208] in WaPo edits...
