The New York Times greets the selection of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's running mate with three above-the-fold front-page articles, and all three offer an assessment of her ideology.
The lead Times news article describes her as "A pragmatic moderate who spent most of her career as a prosecutor."
A "news analysis" (as if the other articles are analysis-free) reports that Biden and Harris are "two moderates with relatively cautious political instincts."
And a profile of Harris describes her as "cautious on substantive issues more often than many liberals would like."
Contrast that with the Wall Street Journal editorial describing her as a "coastal progressive" or President Trump's description of her as "radical left."
I guess if your ideology is that of the New York Times newsroom or for that matter readership base, Kamala Harris looks like a cautious moderate. The point is that the Times' description of Harris, who was raised in Berkeley, California and who was best known as a presidential candidate for a clumsy attempt to depict Joe Biden as a racist for opposing federally imposed busing to desegregate schools, as a "moderate," tells a lot more about the Times' ideology than it does about the ideology of Kamala Harris.
