NextImg:All signs are that Kamala Harris’ big  ‘interview’ will just be an infomercial

After weeks of dodging serious press questioning, Kamala Harris on Thursday will finally do a live, unedited interview, one-on-one with a fiercely critical journalist . . . not.

Instead, it’ll be a two-on-one chat with veep-nominee Tim Walz as her wingman.

And it’ll be pre-taped, to air at 9 p.m.: America will never know what Harris word salads (or worse) get left on the cutting-room floor.

And it won’t be, say, Fox News’ Brett Baier asking the questions, but Kam-friendly Dana Bash from Kam-friendly CNN (no doubt because her campaign couldn’t find a “journalist” more in love with Harris and hostile to Donald Trump).

Making it a tag-team “defense” understandably has sparked the most outrage, but all the arrangements show that Harris’ campaign wants the least possible transparency.

This is the woman who wants to be the first female president?

Unable to face an objective reporter, live, on her own?

How will she handle adversaries like Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping?

No, this looks less like an interview and more of an infomercial — all spin, from start to finish.

The big test for Bash is whether she pushes Harris to explain and defend her plans:

And if she really is flipping, why was she wrong before?

Indeed, a new Harris ad paints her as eager to beef up security at the border; it even shows pictures of the wall. So why hasn’t Harris — President Biden’s border czar — seen that it’s already beefed up?

Most important: This is one single interview; even if Bash gets tough, voters can only learn a bit.

A normal nominee has been doing debates, town halls, press conferences and one-on-one interviews for a year at this point — and has detailed a host of policies and plans.

To level with the public, Harris should be doing at least one interview a day, right up to Nov. 5.
