We're at the "what flavor of ice cream?" stage of journalism

National Review: "The Coddling Of Kamala Is Taking Left-Wing Bias to a New Stratosphere."
If we take the broader view of what has unfolded in this election, we are left with one stunning example of media malpractice after another. At the start of this year, they spent months trying to cover up President Biden’s declining mental health, and attempted to “debunk” any efforts by conservative media to point out the obvious. Then, when the debate happened and they could no longer it cover up, they worked 24/7 with Democratic operatives to hound him out of the race, even seizing on some of the same examples of mental decline that just weeks earlier they had dismissed as “cheap fakes.” They then pointed to their focus on Biden’s mental decline as evidence that they were unbiased, despite the fact that they were merely joining their Democratic friends in lobbying for a stronger ticket.
As I recently noted, it was only a couple months ago that the Washington Post was calling for Kamala to resign from the vice presidency.  Now the mainstream media is all-in on propping her up.

While American journalism persists in both-sides-ing an addled and declining GOP nominee, we have to cross the ocean to London's Independent newspaper to see a straightforward headline like this:

Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims

They're trying to convince themselves as much as they are trying to convince you. Dear Kamala is almost as popular as syphilis. Her new running mate is just another global DEI candidate.

Ben and Jerry's Just announced their newest flavor marxist Kamala mint. It has no real ingredients that anyone would expect. But it tastes like you wont ever have ice cream ever again.

The Babylon Bee regrets that your submission doesn't even reach the level of the pathetic comedy we publish. Please go away.
