Permalinkpresidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President
Kamala Harris.
The bias was on display from the moment the debate began with co-moderators
David Muir and Linsey Davis peppering Trump with follow-up questions while
letting Harris dodge questions with no pushback.
The moderators both repeatedly needled Trump with fact-checks that at times
bordered on absurd while they allowed Harris to lie with impunity.
Coming into the debate, it was obvious that Trump was not going to get a fair
shake given that Davis had tried to falsely suggest that Trump had ties to
the KKK last month and an analysis found Muir gave Harris 100% positive
coverage and Trump 93% negative coverage.
ABC is making a huge mistake trying to fact check this live, said former
White House Press Secretary Ari Fletcher. Theyre only proving how biased
they are. Harris fabricated an attack on Trump over IVF. ABC sat there and
said nothing.

Even leftist Glenn Greenwald slammed ABC News: David Muir is criticizing and
attacking Trump more than Kamala is. Kamala can relax because the ABC
moderators are handling the debate for her.

This debate is no longer about trump vs harris; its about moderators
obediently picking a side, said Fox News host Greg Gutfeld. ABC is a s***
show.
Muir and Davis allowed Harris to lie about her own record when Trump
highlighted how she supported defunding the police and she claimed that it
was not true.
As the Trump campaign noted, ABC News even covered how Harris wanted to
redirect police resources in 2020.
Kamala shook her head and said "that's not true" when President
Trump highlighted her support for defunding the police.
She lied and ABC didn't call her out on it.

Also, the very post that Trump was talking about, in which Harris did raise
money for those involved during the 2020 riots, is still live on social
media.
If youre able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for
those protesting on the ground in Minnesota, Harris wrote in the 2020 tweet.

It isnt fact-checking when you are only fact-checking Trump and allowing
Harris to lie with impunity, said National Review editor Philip Klein.
The Daily Wires Ben Shapiro posted on X: ABCs moderators are a disgrace to
their profession.
Shapiro then highlighted numerous lies that Harris was allowed to tell lies
with no pushback: Fine people on both sides lie. Stand back and stand by
lie. Bloodbath lie. Where are the ABC moderators fact-checking? Or are
their heads too far up Kamala Harris a** to speak at this point?
Why did the moderators need Kamala Harris there at all? asked Sirius XM
host Megyn Kelly.
ABC/Disney has done its best to help VP Harris, said syndicated radio host
Hugh Hewitt. Its astonishing how badly moderated it has been. It may help
her but because former President Trump hit the border and the Biden/Harris
weakness against everyone often and managed to remind everyone of the Trump
economy it will not move the numbers.
Trump could have put the election away and didnt, he added. But she is so
awful she still couldnt win with both moderators so obviously, terribly
biased. Neither of them won but ABC/Disney lost half the country.
Other notable responses included:
Tonights ABC moderators are a total disgrace, obsessed with their
left-wing agenda instead of giving Americans a fair debate.
Its no wonder Americans distrust the legacy media.

90 minutes in we get a question about Kamala Harris supporting
ending private health insurance.
And she escapes without giving any explanation for her change in
position.
Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) September 11, 2024
Fact check: Harris repeatedly promised to ban fracking, she co-
sponsored a bill to outlaw private health insurance, and she endorsed
a mandatory buyback on guns. If she no longer believes those
things, she hasnt explained why. At all.
Any ABC follow up on any of that?

We told you that ABC was the worst network covering these elections
93% anti-Trump and 100% pro-Harris. Now the world can see it.

Hey @ABC grocery prices are 50% more now than in 2020, inflation is
out of control, housing interest rates are through the roof and
record number of terrorist are coming across the border.
ARE YOU GOING TO ASK ABOUT ANY OF THIS? #Debate2024

Moderator to Trump: Why are you such a bad person, and how do you
sleep at night?
Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) September 11, 2024
I would guess that 75% of tonights moderator questions have been
the lefts greatest hits against Donald Trump.
