ABC News Blasted For Gross Debate Bias Against Trump

ANALYSIS – While former President Donald Trump wasn't at his best during his first, and likely only, debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, having the two liberal ABC moderators sabotaging him every step of the way, didn't help.

And they did much of it under the guise of “fact-checking,” which is the left's way of essentially making counterarguments to conservative opinions while pretending to be neutral.

So, as expected, David Muir and Linsey Davis spent all of Tuesday night's debate “fact-checking” Trump's comments while giving a free ride to Harris. Instead, they allowed Harris to lie with impunity and didn't once “fact-check” any of the vice president's widely debunked claims.

Donald Trump Jr. blasted the so-called fact-checker moderators on X for only fact-checking his dad, not Harris.

“Weird how the hack moderators at @abcnews are only ‘Fact checking' Trump and allowing Kamala to lie nonstop,” he posted. 

This meant Trump had to debate the ABC hosts while Harris was able to just attack. A classic tag team against Trump.

Ann Coulter noted: “it's great to have 3 Democrats debating Trump tonight. Thanks, ABC!”

And many viewers were rightly furious.

Megyn Kelly blasted Muir and Davis, writing: “These moderators are a disgraceful failure, and this is one of the most biased, unfair debates I have ever seen. Shame on you @ABC.”

Commentator Noah Pollak posted on X: “ABC hosts embarrassing themselves protecting Harris from having to answer whether she supports partial birth late term abortions.”

But did any other major media outlets notice the bias or complain? Of course not.

They shamelessly said it only seemed unfair because Trump is supposedly a much bigger liar.

As Newsmax reported:

Muir and Davis debated Trump multiple times on their denial of facts on abortion, migrants in Ohio, crime, the 2020 election, Jan. 6, and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Harris not being fact-checked was not an issue for the mainstream media. NPR claimed the fact-checking “was not a reflection of bias; it was because of just how many things Trump said there were blatantly false.”

But it went beyond only “fact-checking” Trump.

The Daily Wire noted:

The bias manifested itself in several ways, from asking Trump more hostile “gotcha” questions than they asked Harris to pressing Trump with follow-up questions while allowing Harris to evade answering questions with no follow-up to fact checking Trump while allowing Harris to lie with impunity.

ABC News' left-wing bias was on full display during the network's pre-debate coverage, with media analyst Stephen L. Miller noting: “ABC's pre-debate coverage might as well be The View right now. It's insane.”

But the partisan ABC News hacks may have gone too far.

As Megyn Kelly noted: “The pile-on against Trump is so bad and so obvious this will backfire.” Many viewers likely agree.
