Double Standard

The media has been denigrating President Trump for four years over every imaginable accusation they could bring against him and the democrats have remained silent.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is waging what is likely the first public battle of her tenure — and it’s against Vogue Magazine.

According to The New York Times, Harris and her team are at odds with the high-fashion magazine’s editorial team over their decision to select a casual photo of the vice president-elect for their next magazine cover instead of a more formal photo that they feel casts Harris in a better, more professional light.

“February’s issue features Ms. Harris in a dark jacket by Donald Deal, skinny pants, Converse and her trademark pearls. She stands against a leaf green backdrop bisected by a spill of pink curtain, colors meant to evoke her Howard University sorority, caught in what seems like mid-laugh, hands clasped together at her waist,” The New York Times reports.

She’s also wearing a pair of Converse sneakers and appears to be caught off guard by the camera — two features Harris’s team say undermine the authority of her new position and may actually expose Vogue’s internalized prejudices.

Social media critics, who slammed the photo, called it “disrespectful.”

“Though Gabriella Karefa-Johnson receives credit as the sittings editor, a.k.a. the fashion editor in charge, Ms. Harris chose and wore her own clothes. The selected photo is determinedly un-fancy.

‘Disrespectful’ was the word used most often on social media,” the NYT notes.

Investigative reporter Yashar Ali added that Harris’s team felt misled by the choice, and that they believed a different photo, with Harris facing forward, dressed sharply in a Michael Kors powder-blue tailored suit was going to be the cover shot.

“According to a source familiar with the publication plans, this is not the cover that the Vice President-elect’s team expected,” he said on social media. “in the cover photo that they expected, Vice President-elect Harris was wearing a powder blue suit. That was the cover that the Vice President-elect’s team and the Vogue team, including Anna Wintour, mutually agreed upon…which is standard for fashion magazines.”

“Several news outlets, including The Associated Press and CNN, reported that Harris’s team felt ‘blindsided’ by Vogue’s selection and was unaware that the magazine switched out the cover photo from what the team originally agreed on,” left-leaning outlet Vox added. “Vogue’s intentions with its cover, as clarified in a public relations statement, were to highlight the vice president-elect’s ‘authentic, approachable nature.'”

After the outcry, Vogue agreed to swap the photos — but only for the magazine’s the digital version.
