The networks are trying to figure out how they can best help biden during the debate and trash Trump. It will not be a fair debate. biden will have all the networks helping him every minute of the way.
Ways they will do so:
1) Find a lefty moderator that will toss softballs to slo joe and attack the President.
2) Lefty moderator will "fact check" the President, interrupting his responses constantly and will give slo joe hints and even answer positively for slo joe.
3) Hidey will be given all the questions in advance and the answers written for him.
4) gropey will have an earpiece with handlers telling him which numbered answer to read.
5) If there is an audience, it will be comprised of hard core lefties only.
6) The usual shenanigans with podium height, camera angles, lighting, microphone levels.
7) Network "anal-ists" back in the studio covering the debate live, will talk over the President.
8) Post-debate analysis will be the usual dem good, orange man bad.
I can hear smug-faced Andrea Mitchell now: "When Mr. Biden said 'We had a saying back in Scranton that when the black folks hop off the turnip truck, you know there'll be a hootenanny tonight,' he was using quaint old rural Pennsylvania jargon referring to the urgent need for stronger civil rights legislation. What a clever fellow he is!"
