Debates between candidates for the Presidency have been conducted by something known as the Commission on Presidential Debates. Over the years it has deteriorated into a partisan quagmire.
The board of directors are no longer associated with the two major parties, now consisting of former lawmakers and the CEOs of major companies, among others, but the lack of transparency about how the commission raises funds has attracted scrutiny.This sterling group really has solidified its own destruction with its overtly biased production.In 2008, the Center for Public Integrity labeled the Commission on Presidential Debates a “secretive tax-exempt organization.”
The committee raises the bulk of its funds through private donors which have never been disclosed.
The personal views of board members is also a point of contention.
They chose anti-Trump democrat hack Chris Wallace as the moderator for the first debate.
The first presidential debate was a fiasco. It was moderated by the long-time liberal Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. He embarrassed himself with a stunningly biased performance. He interrupted President Donald Trump 76 times, as opposed to only 15 interruptions of former Vice President Joe Biden. The questions were slanted towards Biden and the only tough questions were directed at President Trump.Wallace changed the listed topics to include ones he could use to smear Trump.Wallace interjected almost every talking point for the Democrats. He asked about old issues such as the 2017 Charlottesville, VA rally and demanded that the president once again condemn white supremacists. Even though all the riots in 2020 were led by radical leftist organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Wallace was uninterested in discussing it.
Instead, he wanted to explore issues such as Covid-19, climate change, and anything that could possibly be detrimental to President Trump. Of course, Biden received a pass on his son’s questionable consulting contracts, his interference in prosecutions in Ukraine, his friendship with white supremacist Democrats in the United States Senate, his “manifesto” with radical socialists in the Democratic Party, his constant flip-flopping, his lack of law enforcement endorsements and his delay in condemning the Antifa riots.
The Commission chose the "non-partisan" C-SPAN host Steve Scully for the second debate, but Scully would prove himself to be what he has always been- a Biden water boy.
Scully sent Anthony Scaramucci a tweet that was probably meant to be a DM.
Interesting tweet from debate moderator Steve Scully to Anthony Scaramucci. https://t.co/3iRN9lidR6 pic.twitter.com/gImyfTCz9C

Scully immediately denied it, asserting his account was hacked.

But, of course, it wasn't hacked. Scully lied. He was suspended indefinitely by C-SPAN. Steve Scully was an intern for Joe Biden.
The second debate was canceled.
The third debate looms and we learn who the moderator will be.

Yes, I love your comments.
Praying that PDJT does something comparable with Kristen Welker Thursday night and that we get to relish him playing the LSM like a fiddle for four more years!
It makes absolutely no sense for Trump to do this debate. No sense whatever.
The media can say whatever the heck they want, it won’t matter. Trump is vastly better off not doing any more fake debates.
.
I think he should say whatever he wants. About the time they mute him again, he should walk from the stage.
Wow! That was close! It’s a good thing this author and a few others are warning President Trump not to do this debate because it is ... gasp!! a TRAP. How would President Trump EVER have figured that out by himself? Thanks guys! Boy that was close.
But of course there is always the chance that President Trump’s FOUR YEARS of experience in eating the media alive just might... just maybe... will help him squeak through. Gee I hope President Trump doesn’t do too badly against an addled brain criminal and just another phony no talent moderator - I hope I hope I hope!
