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

Published

on

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.

    It was disgraceful and the American people will ultimately pay the price if Harris is elected. It allowed her to continue to not even answer one policy issue. Case in point is w”whether we were better off four years ago than now that she did during the debate and after in another podcast where she deflected about being brought up as a child.

        I’ve never really watched ABC, unless it was by accident. And they’ve now shown their true selves and I feel everyone should boycott that channel and those two disgusting hosts should lose their jobs!

    Just like most biased reporting, this report is loose with facts. To suggest that Trump didn’t say there were very fine people on both sides, is at best disingenuous. Here’s the video in which he clearly said it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmaZR8E12bs Don’t do what you accuse the other side of doing.

    Ummm, if you do not believe that ALL of the MSM are in on trying to help the clueless bimbo win the election while trying to destroy Trump then there is no hope for you. You truly cannot fix stupid, and it appears that half of this country is full of complete idiots that will vote for whomever the communist Left tells them to vote for no matter how bad they are for the country.

    You know I am very much on to MSM and their tactics and BIAS stance. I will never believe anything that comes from them again. They are very much responsible for where this nation is today. If this nation and the world falls, look to the MSM. They are the beginning of the lies, and they continue their destruction of this nation. Evidently, they are not fond of “WE THE PEOPLE” OR “AMERICA” either, AS THE DEMOcrats are not. IN THE END GOD WINS……………

    Quit watching the news years ago because of the bias and all the negativity. Just another pathetic attempt at swaying people and their thoughts….there is NO Excuse for this type of bias. Biden is unfit and can’t even form a sentence so using the debate as a platform for revenge is distasteful at the very least.

    Not surprised. It just kills me that more people aren’t outraged. I don’t think we should ever have another debate on a main stream news station again. Lets find other ways to get the information out to the people. Screw ABC.

    MSM spews Harris’ abusive verbiage which is very appealing to people on the edge of a slippery slope. But it is very demeaning and shows just how low she will go. She spreads hatred every day. If the American people believe her lies we are in trouble. She says she hasn’t changed her beliefs. She WILL prevent fracking. She WILL control every aspect of the American way of life that she can. Any woman who stands for abortion at any stage does not believe in the Word of God and will see retribution for her beliefs. Hide your money people because by the time she’s done you will have nothing.

    David Muir was my local news person in Syracuse, so I thought I trusted him, BUT never watched anything but ABC. In recent years I’ve become more aware of other channels that obviously tell the truth as seen daily and by all their journalists. ABC has become woke as seen when George Stephanoplolis answered a question by someone he passed on the street and got in trouble with ABC. I no longer trust anyone at ABC and they are being blocked on my TV.

    Any news media that deliberately shows bias on a supposed neutral debate should loose their license to operate in this country. The news media is expected to post facts not fiction and plain out lies which seems to be commonplace with them anymore. If they cannot be truthful then they are useless and damaging to our nation and should be held liable for all post. Giving the press certain benefits also should require responsibility in equal proportion should not be a blank check to report inaccuracy.

    We no longer listen to anything ABC,CBS,MSNBC, ect. say! Sick of the bias and lies being reported and never any consequences for their blatant lies. I never thought I would see what I am seeing now! We have no true reporters who are willing to do what it takes to get to the truth. So disgusted with yor biased ways!

    This is exactly why we need to impose occupational licensing to practice journalism. The news media lies are blatant, continuous and egregious. We can believe nothing the decadent propaganda media says. Not for one second would we tolerate the deliberate malpractice we see in the media in our health care providers. So why do we tolerate it in our news media

    The Republican party should never agree in the future to a debate with the liberal media. Only Fox or Newsmax. If the Dems don’t like it or will not debate on those net works so be it.

    The media has done a great disservice to the audience it intends to report to on a daily basis. There is vast bias in all the alphabet news channels. Extremely disappointing that our once great nation has been taken over by propaganda from the Marxist Left.

    Harris should have been held accountable as VP under an ailing Biden since day one to speak up and remove him from office. The American people have been deceived from day one even though we saw the deception but were vilified for what our eyes and minds knew to be true.

    Sure hope those who still vote democrat will open their eyes before it’s too late. If the democratic machine has its way, we won’t be voting in fair elections any more. We will become like many other nations, totalitarian regimes that freely throw the word Democratic or Republic around like left over noodles.

    Just goes to show ABC is nothing more than a bunch of LIARS. They had no intention of being fair and should never see another debate. Their performance was discussing and they show the whole COUNTRY their LEFT WING BIAS. The best thing that can happen to ABC is they continue to lose viewership. Over 1 million already keep that number going. 3-5 million should be where they settle in at.

    Those aren’t moderators. They are lefties doing their best to crush DJT I really used to like David Muir. Now I don’t trust his reporting.
