National Review political editor Jim Geraghty shot down snotty New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro on CNN's The Chris Wallace Show on Saturday when she tried to suggest it's "a little disingenuous for some on the right" to be demanding Kamala Harris do interviews and/or press conferences. 

Chris Wallace's question was: Is Harris doing enough out there to become her own candidate, to come out of Biden's shadow? So it's natural for Geraghty to insist that you don't just come out with an economic plan, you go out and discuss it with journalists: 

GERAGHTY: I would love to see her sit down and do interviews, and I'd love to see her do press conferences. But apparently you don't need to do that anymore. Apparently, you can cruise to the top of the –

LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO: I just love, though, that right now the right is all of a sudden embracing the free press. I'm very excited about this as a journalist. I think it's wonderful that everyone, including Donald Trump is really pushing Kamala Harris to do this. I agree. I think she should do a press conference. I think she showed sit down for an interview. But it's a little disingenuous for some on the right to do this.

GERAGHTY: No, it's not. When has it ever been -- Donald Trump will do interviews with anybody.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's not true.

GERAGHTY: He went to the National Association of Black Journalists and she didn't.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's not true.

GERAGHTY: Does he do a lot think interviews with amen corner at Fox News? Yes, no doubt about that. But he will sit down. He'll kibitz with reporters. He does a lot more accessing that either Joe Biden has done for the last four years, or Kamala Harris, and she's become the nominee.

We would only add that Trump can talk to Fox News, but Harris can't even talk to her Amen corner at Morning Joe. She or her advisers are petrified of all improvisational interactions, even with her staunchest media allies. 

But Lulu's talk about the right suddenly "embracing the free press" is also annoying. The right affirms freedom of the press and free speech, and that includes denouncing pro-Democrat media outlets for sounding like propaganda mills. The "free press" includes all journalists, including the NewsBusters.
