January 1, ABC News Moderators Admit Targeting Trump While Giving Harris Pass

In a glaring admission, ABC News’ Linsey Davis revealed to the Los Angeles Times that the moderators’ plan during last week’s presidential debate was strategically designed to target and fact-check former President Donald Trump, while giving Vice President Kamala Harris a free pass.

This revelation comes on the heels of observing that Davis, along with co-moderator David Muir, fact-checked Trump an excessive seven times, often missing the mark, yet never once questioned Harris—even when she relied on debunked narratives like the infamous Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax.

Davis openly stated to the Times that ABC’s deliberate focus on Trump stemmed from a perception that he had previously escaped scrutiny during his debate with President Joe Biden on CNN in late June.

In her interview, Davis mentioned the necessity to counteract Trump’s remarks to prevent them from going unchallenged, as seen during the CNN debate where Biden’s lackluster performance was evident.

Davis, sporting pink glasses and speaking over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, justified the heavy-handed approach towards Trump. She claimed it was a response to the June 27 CNN debate, where Biden’s poor showing underscored the need to dispute Trump’s statements more vigorously.

“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis remarked.

The evident bias stands out as Davis admitted that while the moderators meticulously scrutinized past statements by Trump, they displayed little preparation for Harris’s repeated use of discredited narratives. Notably, Harris had invoked the “very fine people” hoax during the 2020 vice-presidential debate with Mike Pence, wherein Pence debunked her claims on the spot.

This one-sided approach was also evident during the June debate, where Biden recited the same debunked stories without any pushback from CNN moderators.

The stark partisan bias in mainstream media continues to undermine fair political discourse, presenting a clear case of double standards. While Trump faces intense scrutiny, Biden and Harris are shielded from necessary fact-checking, raising serious questions about media integrity and their role in shaping public perception.
