CNN’s Powers Annoyed with Media Hype Over Beto: Why He Is on the Cover of Vanity Fair and Kamala Harris Isn’t?

‘I think that there is still an issue in this country where people just get very, very excited about white men’

EXCERPT:

POWERS: “Can I just say one thing though about what’s bothering me about this. It isn’t so much about what he is doing, it’s what the media is doing. So the fact that he gets this 'Vanity Fair' cover and I -- and I feel like, you know, he is getting kind of this special treatment that's not proportionate to what he has done. He has had a big accomplishment, but so did Stacy Abrams. You know, and as -- as -- you know, it was just pointed out there are a lot of other candidates who have accomplished a lot. Like, it's not clear to me why he is on the cover of 'Vanity Fair' and Kamala Harris isn’t.”
