On Monday’s Good Morning America, ABC senior White House correspondent Selina Wang not-so-subtly refused to acknowledge the anti-Semitism behind the far-left meltdowns over Vice President Kamala Harris having Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as one of her nominees for a 2024 presidential running mate, instead chalking up opposition to coming from pro-Palestinian Arabs hating Jews.
The framing below from Wang in her segment on the 2024 election was almost certainly on purpose and wildly obtuse:
ABC's Selina Wang describes opposition to Kamala Harris picking Josh Shapiro as her running mate as "concern" by "Arab Americans" because of "his views".

Wang kept up the farce by pivoting to former President Donald Trump, kvetching that his criticisms of Harris consist of “hurling personal insults at” her.
“But many Republicans say they want Trump to tone down the attacks, including questioning Harris’s race,” she added, conflating Trump’s comments about Harris’s racial identity with calling her a radical liberal with low I.Q.
Over on CBS Mornings, their own senior White House correspondent in Weijia Jiang deployed the proverbial conservative drinking game word to knock Trump for focusing on the number one issue among voters in this election:

The horror! Earth to journalists: If Republicans are “seizing” now, what would you describe as what Democrats did in the 2020 election in the height of the pandemic?
Not to be left out, NBC’s Today had chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander singing from identical sheet music, but seeming to also be aggrieved by Trump using an accurate ideological label for Harris:
