Walz Instead of Shapiro Excites Left, but May Alienate Jewish Voters

Why Troubling News:

The title appears to try and be centered by using "may" as a less assertive suggestion, but the author repeatedly paints Harris and Walz as an anti-Jewish ticket. This quote, "Was her decision to sidestep Mr. Shapiro, some wonder, overly deferential to progressive activists who many Jews believe have veered past anti-Israel fervor into anti-Jewish bigotry?" begins by making it seem as if Harris' choice to choose Walz was a personal slight against Shapiro, when in reality, there were many options for VP and a decision-making process that we (the public) do not have full insight into. This rhetorical question also makes it seem as if progressives are overjoyed by Walz's nomination and Harris' stance on Israel when a lot of leftists are still disappointed by the lack of solidarity for Palestine that this Democratic ticket has shown and are actively protesting at campaign events. The author acknowledges that several Jewish organizations have expressed support for Harris but then chooses to emphasize strongly biased language from Jewish people who dislike her, such as, "The extremists who have been waging this campaign are going to declare victory, whether it’s true or not."
