<p>TIME Magazine owner, Marc Benioff, has called out US Vice President Kamala Harris for denying multiple interview requests to the publication ahead of the November presidential election.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Benioff took to social media to express his frustration and said Harris' campaign had not given the interview, unlike every other presidential candidate, referring to Donald Trump and Joe Biden who dropped out of the race in July but had already given the interview.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other Presidential candidate," Benioff wrote on X (formerly Twitter).&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level? #TrustMatters and #TransparencyMatters," he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Harris' media troubles&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ever since Harris was announced as the Democrat nominee for the election, her campaign has carefully managed her interviews and public addresses. However, in recent weeks, the VP has come under scrutiny for being unprepared when put on the spot during such media engagements.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since last week, allegations have surfaced that Harris' interview for the&nbsp;programme <em>60 Minutes</em> was edited creatively by <em>CBS. </em>Trump and several&nbsp;party politicians and commentators are now putting pressure on the channel to release the full transcript.</p>

<p>Notably, CBS&nbsp;&nbsp;aired a clip of the exchange between Harris and the host on the&nbsp; programme&nbsp; that went live on October 6. The question was whether the US had any influence over Israel.</p>

<p>Kamala gave a rambling answer, which was later described by the Trump camp as a 'word salad'.</p>

<p>"Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," she said.</p>

<p>Oddly, that answer was different from the clip that aired on 60 minutes, where she said, "We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."</p>

<p>The competition between Harris and Trump appears to be going down to the wire. While many had predicted Harris to pull away after the presidential debate, Trump has seemingly managed to close the gap and even gained lead in some of the swing states, according to fresh polls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The teenage climate activist from Sweden, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/climate-activist-greta-thunberg-accuses-politicians-of-polishing-their-image-267623">Greta Thunberg</a> was named as Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2019 today. The magazine ran the story with the subtitle ''The Power of Youth'' on the cover page.</p>

<p>Thunberg has remained at the helm of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/greta-thunberg-sails-to-europe-sets-course-for-un-climate-summit-261882">climate change advocacy</a> and has constantly urged prominent world leaders to find viable long-term solutions.</p>

<p>Seen as a spokesperson for the new generation, the 16-year-old gained traction after a solo strike outside the Swedish parliament last year.<br />
<br />
While speaking at a United Nations summit today, Thunberg accused leaders, both political and business, of looking for loopholes to keep their own image intact in the fight against climate change.</p>

<p>"It seems to have turned into some kind of opportunity for countries to negotiate loopholes and to avoid raising their ambition," the 16-year-old Swede told the meeting in Madrid.</p>

<p>The 2015 Paris Agreement, which intends to avert catastrophic global warming, is grappling with implementation issues.</p>

<p>"I still believe the biggest danger is not inaction, the real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative PR", <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/leonardo-dicaprio-hails-greta-thunberg-calls-her-leader-of-our-time-259598">Thunberg added</a>.</p>
