Who’s Backing Out? Partisan Media Outlets Weigh in on the Debate Over the Debate
NYT via MSN ^ | Sep 1, 2024 | Santul Nerkar

The presidential campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump are engaged in a very public fight over the rules of their first debate, scheduled for Sept. 10. ......

FROM THE RIGHT

Fox News

Before the June debate, President Biden’s team pushed to mute the microphone of the candidate who wasn’t speaking so that Mr. Trump would not interrupt Mr. Biden. But this week, Ms. Harris’s team asked that the network keep the microphones live throughout the debate. A spokesman for Ms. Harris’s campaign suggested that Mr. Trump’s team had objected to the request out of concern he could not “handle himself” with a live microphone........

FROM THE RIGHT

The Washington Examiner

Tiana Lowe Doescher, a columnist for The Washington Examiner, a conservative news and opinion site, wrote that Ms. Harris was “terrified” of debating Mr. Trump and that her campaign was “shifting the goal posts again,” in an opinion essay titled “Kamala Harris is scared of debating Trump, as she should be.”.......

FROM THE LEFT

MSNBC

Liberal commentators have argued that Mr. Trump is more fearful of debating Ms. Harris than he was Mr. Biden, and that he and his team are coming up with reasons to back out of a debate he’d agreed to months in advance. (Mr. Trump agreed to the Sept. 10 debate in May, when Mr. Biden was the presumptive nominee.........

FROM THE LEFT

Salon

Salon, a liberal news and commentary site, has frequently depicted Mr. Trump as flailing against Ms. Harris since she entered the race, including in his preparation for the debate.

“Ms. Harris’s team asked that the network keep the microphones live throughout the debate.”

Because the whore desperately wants to use the “I’m talking” line.

I remember when Kamala’s camp was claiming that Trump’s commitment to debate Biden on ABC, Sept. 10 (with no live audience and muted microphones) applied to her. Now that Trump has agreed to do just that, SHE’s the one who wants renegotiate.

Here’s an article from May 15th 2024 outlining the terms agreed to by Trump and Biden.

No, because they falsely described Fox News as “the right”.

She's planning on treating Trump like a common criminal during the debate. With her as the state prosecutor. I recall just how disrespectful she was during Senate hearings on Trump appointees during his administration. She was absolutely horrible toward all of them and it made me so angry no Republican senators on the committee ever called her out on her disrespectful behavior or put her in her place. We will see more of that on September 10 if she gets her way.

That’s why her team keeps demanding the rules be changed for the upcoming debate. So far, ABC continues to rebuff them.

Just watch the Pence debate her technique is just to say “I’m speaking here” trying to mark her territory. Pence actually did a solid job of keeping her in check but Pence isn’t Trump.
She will more then likely keep trying to attack him as a convicted felon and Trump simply needs to remind voters most of these prosecutors donated to her personally or are part of her party and stay focused on talking about his vision of getting the country back together.

No live mics. A live mic around a mouthy "diverse" woman is like leaving a loaded revolver in a child's play pen.

The problem with Trump, with all his positive traits, is he often cannot help himself; if he is being disrespected by Kemala, I am not sure he can ignore it.

“The presidential campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump are engaged in a very public fight over the rules of their first debate, scheduled for Sept. 10.”

Trump is the one who said, “any place, any time.” Trump was good with the Biden rules for the debate and with Harris replacing Biden, the rules should stand as they are. The fact that Harris is afraid to debate on Fox sends and even bigger message, especially because like CNN and the rest of the chicken noodle networks, Fox would be in the bag for her.

“Muted “
Mics didn’t seems to matter much and would only really work if they were in separate rooms
Remember the golf “challenge “ back and forth

“They have also parroted Mr. Trump’s complaints about ABC, which they have claimed without evidence is biased in favor of Ms. Harris.”
