Ex-Biden intern Steve Scully, NBC's Kristen Welker to host next two debates, Internet slams 'Trump vs media war'

With Fox News host Chris Wallace being heavily criticized for his bias towards Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden during the first face-off between the latter and President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 29, social media users were curious as to who will be the moderators for the next two debates.

NPR media correspondent and host of On Point Radio David Folkenflik was one of the people who had part of the answer. "Just a reminder folks. The most decent man in DC, Steve Scully of C-SPAN, is next presidential debate moderator. How the hell is *that* going to work?" Another person with answer was the editorial and opinion director at The San Diego Union-Tribune, Matthew T Hall. "C-SPAN political editor Steve Scully and NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker, who will moderate the second and third presidential debates, need to approach their nights much differently: Microphone cuts, no interruptions or crosstalk, actual moderation," he wrote.

It did not take long for a social media user to do a bit of research on both Scully and Welker and figure out that Trump might not gain any favors from any of them in the upcoming debates, and it would be not unlike how he was treated by Wallace. "FAIR DEBATES?! Presidential Debates Commission chooses FORMER BIDEN INTERN Steve Scully C-SPAN to moderate a Trump-Biden Debate. Also Chris Wallace FOX (a major Trump hater) & Kristen Welker NBC (far left Trump hater) to moderate debates. THIS IS SHAMEFUL!" the user wrote.

What the user states isn't incorrect.

Trump needs to learn the line:

"I reject the premise of the question."

Steve Scully
Scully received a 1982 undergraduate degree with honors in communication and political science from American University in Washington, D.C. During his degree he completed a 1980-81 study abroad program at the University of Copenhagen, served as a mail room intern for Sen. Joe Biden from September to October 1978 and in Sen. Ted Kennedy’s media affairs office in early 1979.[5][6]

“...social media users were curious“

I read this as:
social media users were furious

They have control over the debates, the media, the schools, a deep state, and who controls the mail for their fraud of mail in ballots

Let’s just face it. The masks are off. They don;t even pretend anymore.

this is just a firing squad.

The Prez is just supposed to go up there. Pretend like it is not some kanagroo court while the “moderators” try to take him down on live TV.

“I reject the premise of the question.”

He should say that “the premise of the question is a lie and I reject your lies, next question please.”

In other news, the next debate will require Trump to stick his head in the mouth of a lion while wearing a meat helmet.

Trump needs to learn the line:

"I reject the premise of the question."

AND

To the question: "What do you say to those people who say (some horrific thing) about you?

Trump to the questioner: Who is saying that? Are you speaking for someone? Name names.

I hope DJT really turns this around and shows the farce that it is..

Mr moderator, were you on Joe Biden’s staff when he assaulted that woman? What did you do about it? did you report it?

Mr moderator You were on Teddy “the red nosed” senator’s staff at the time of the “waitress sandwich” what was your role in the cover up?
