In what appears to be a pathetic attempt to be transparent, CNN revealed how microphones would work during Thursday night’s debate as part of the network’s so-called “rules,” which many argue favor Joe Biden.
Anchor Victor Blackwell showed how the two green lights behind each podium are meant to signal to candidates when their mics are turned on.
Blackwell then gave an example of what the debate would be like if a candidate tried to speak when the lights were off.

TPool pointed out that this could be to DJT’s advantage. While BeijingBiden is spinning a lie to his demented NPC’s who watch CNN DJT could be speaking directly to him — and the audience cannot hear.
Hey, Brandon, what with inflation and all is your cut still at only 10% ?
Hey, Brandon, when was the last time you saw your 7th granddaughter?
Hey Brandon, did you hear the rumors that Jim (older son __ I think) died in Iraq when his soldiers fragged him?
So, what happens first, your drugs run down or you just HAVE to get your hands on a little girl?
Etc.
Enrage the psycho. Throw him off balance.
brandons microphone will be defaulted to the ON position......Trumps to OFF.
Like any other contest, you have to have rules.
If you can’t speak your piece in the allotted time, you deserve to lose, or at least get some humiliation; three minutes is not three minutes and fifteen seconds.
Oh, to have debaters of the skill and depth of Kennedy and Nixon again, that was like a chess game instead of a Wrestlin’ match.
Trump should ask taterhead what he plans to do to Make America Great Again.
The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. CNN cannot legally do what they are trying to do.
It’s called fair use. This is not entertainment like the NFL.
This is impacting the entire country. CNN cannot claim this. Totally illegal.
Exactly
Biden will still be able to hear Trump even if the people watching at home can’t
CNN can do whatever pleases them.
I believe that was for broadcast TV (Over The Air).
Cable can do what it wants.
Not going to waste my time to watch.
This is all Kabuki Theater ‘for the masses’.
Kabuki Theater used in this context:
Kabuki is a form of classical theater in Japan known for its elaborate costumes and dynamic acting.
The phrases Kabuki theater, kabuki dance, or kabuki play are sometimes used in political discourse to describe an event characterized more by showmanship than by content.
Great point........Trump talking to Biden when
audience cant hear gets the lame brain confused.

I expect the moderators to interrupt Trump and “correct” him all night long.
Ditto’s....Joe will hear every Trump aside, even if no one else does. Joe will mumble & bumble. lose his thought....”....um, whatever...”
Moderators may or may not hear the asides, but will see them and admonish Trump, warn him to “cut it out you slimey nazi”
So what? John Roberts will make a ruling on this issue in 2026.
Nope. The correct strategy is to ignore Joe. Debate the moderators. Point out that CNN is "fake news". It's a winning strategy.
Comrade Stalin would be proud
Trump agreed to the debate and its rules. End of story.
will Trump’s team be recording it so we can hear later what Trump was saying when his mic is off?
