Oh, absolutely, this is the case. The media makes vastly more money during close national elections. If Trump and Harris were held to the same standards, Trump would be 5-7% down and it wouldn’t even be a contest. But the absolutely insane things Trump says don’t get reported or get buried, while relatively innocuous actions or statements of Harris get distorted and reported on incessantly. This is to make the election be a contest not a landslide for Harris.

And to be clear: this would happen if Harris were the one doing insane things and Trump were the normal one. The media needs the election to be close to make that cheddar. That’s what’s going on.
