Conservatives are complaining about media bias, as is their wont, especially when Republicans are losing. They are correct that Kamala Harris has enjoyed fairly positive coverage to date. But their conviction that the media are employing a " double standard " is actually backward. It is Donald Trump who is being held to a lower standard than Harris.
The main indictment of the mainstream media is that Harris has been allowed to skate by without specifying her policy platform. Reporters are probably extending the fair assumption that any new candidate will take a bit of time to settle on a platform. Meanwhile, Donald Trump very much is skating by without serious policy commitments.
Trump worked closely with the Heritage Foundation to develop a detailed policy agenda. He now disclaims any relationship to the plan and insists, "Have no idea who is in charge of it."
