ABC's David Muir, who will moderate Tuesday's debate, has overseen this one-sided coverage, raising concerns about fairness during the debate.
With Kamala Harris and Donald Trump set to face off in their only scheduled debate Tuesday night, a new study from the Media Research Center (MRC) sheds light on the significant bias in ABC’s election coverage leading up to the event. ***
From July 21st, the day Harris entered the race, through September 6th, MRC analysts reviewed 100 campaign stories aired on World News Tonight. Their analysis found that Harris received zero negative statements from nonpartisan sources, reporters, or anchors, giving her a perfect 100% positive spin. In contrast, Trump faced 66 negative comments and only five positive statements, resulting in 93% negative coverage.
*** ABC’s coverage of Trump, meanwhile, focused heavily on his controversies, offering extensive airtime to his remarks questioning Harris’s racial background and his comments on military honors. ***
Tuesday's debate, moderated by David Muir, raises questions about how balanced the forum will be, given ABC’s clear editorial slant. ***
Harris received 100% positive coverage, compared to 94% on CBS and 71% on NBC, while Trump’s negative coverage on ABC (93%) exceeded the hostility he faced on CBS (77%) and NBC (86%).

The ENTIRE Media is anti trump..there isn’t one that is more anti trump than the other..I could care less if they like him..what concerns me is that they already gave Harris the questions in advance, probably over a month ago right after Biden dropped out..Fox news would not have done that but other networks, its a given
The leftwing aggregator Drudge Report has had a Kamala photo pretty much everyday for weeks, but the last few days not so much.
We saw the interview on CNN so it will look like that. Kamala won't do well but it'll be okay enough. As long as she's not a "vegetable".
Sores bought up a ton of news outlets as well. Independent people need to report whats actually happening at the voting sites and post on X…or at least something like that, en mass.
the Muir guy, he doesnt come across to me as a far left freakazoid, yes ABC is very biased but he’s just reading from the teleprompter..the other woman, she’s just disgusting, she referred to Trump as the KKK so she’s the one Id keep my eyes out for
ABC investigative journalist pleads guilty to child pornography charges
Anyone who is surprised at this, or denies it, probably believes in BigFoot.
Many, many moons ago, I worked at a Safeway Grocery Store. Back then, there was not just the Inquirer, there was the Globe and others. One week the headline read BigFoot Stole My Wife. About three weeks later, the headline was New Exciting Pictures Of BigFoot.
I purchased some of the New Exciting ones, and wrote next to the headline “Where’s My Wife?”
The customers that actually bought this stuff would come through my line, and I would explain. I hope they did not procreate.
DISCLAIMER: I am asking about the people on our side who complain about the media, but still pay them for the privilege of being entertained by them. If you, the reader, are not among them, then my question does not apply to you.
"Why arent I 50 points ahead of him?"
Why is it that demonrat opposition candidates must always debate in demonrat territory on demonrat terms with demonrat referees?
Kamala - 100% friendly or positive coverage.
Trump - 100% mockery or negative.
"Economic index that's predicted every election winner since 1980 looking good for Harris"
"Trump call for government shutdown sharpens policy contrast with Harris"
7% favorable? Somebody’s getting fired.
WHAT? No way. Wait until the post game spewage starts. From her stunning pants suit to her brilliant retorts to the naughtZee orange man bad, she ruled the exchange.
NO SHIT?
