CBS Mornings devoted a significant segment of Wednesday’s first hour to a foolish report on the importance of leftist teenage influences on TikTok. Correspondent Jo Ling Kent hyped the quickly emerging “campaigning design” for the apparently beneficial impact it had on young voters, naturally focusing on how it advantaged the Democratic Party.
Co-host Jericka Duncan began by highlighting a couple of (carefully selected) positive videos concerning Vice President Kamala Harris’ brand new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D). Before turning to Kent, she giddily applauded how “Democrats have really deployed these influencers to attract those young voters.”
Kent focused much of her report on 23-year-old TikToker Awa Sanneh and played certain tasteful clips from her videos, like one where she bragged, “I just peed in the White House.” The obviously delighted correspondent celebrated that “when she posted this video of her White House bathroom break, her half a million followers took notice.”
