I'm not sure at all that the media "hate" Kamala Harris. She is an obvious doofus, and most in the media probably (and correctly) think they are smarter than her, so there will always be the snobbery and unconscious racism of the liberal pseudo-intellectual. But they tolerate her as a necessary means to an end. I don't see any animus toward her guiding forces. I think the environment is "we don't have to like her in order to follow orders." She is so craven and dependent, she will follow her orders, too. So, she is "theirs" in any meaningful use of the word.
