If you watched Tuesday’s ABC debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, you saw that the moderators were doing everything they could to help Harris.
A recent fluff piece on ABC’s Lindsey Davis in the LA Times not only proves this to be fact, but she’s bragging about their behind-the-scenes plan to ensure Trump was not able to end Harris’s campaign the same way he did President Joe Biden’s at the CNN debate in June.
If you watched Tuesday’s ABC debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, you saw that the moderators were doing everything they could to help Harris.
A recent fluff piece on ABC’s Lindsey Davis in the LA Times not only proves this to be fact, but she’s bragging about their behind-the-scenes plan to ensure Trump was not able to end Harris’s campaign the same way he did President Joe Biden’s at the CNN debate in June.
“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis told the LA Times.
The fix was in before the debate even began. In true regime media fashion, instead of learning from their mistakes in the past, their hubris pushed them to “fact check” Trump at every turn while leaving Harris to spread debunked falsehoods without even the slightest correction.
Her co-host, David Muir, spent most of the time talking, leaving Davis mainly in the background of the debate. Still, that didn’t stop the LA Times from heralding her ability to block Trump.
Not only did the moderators create a scenario where Trump effectively debated three people at once, but their supposed disputes about Trump’s statements were incorrect.
“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” Davis said to Trump after his comments about Democrats’ support of late-term abortion and a statement made by former Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. Harris’s running-mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, signed a bill into law in 2023 that removed a requirement for abortion clinics to report the number of babies born alive after botched abortions and no longer expects medical professionals to give life-saving care to a baby born alive after an attempted abortion.
During 2015-2022, before the reporting requirement ended, 24 babies were born alive and subsequently died after abortion procedures in the state.
Late-term abortions are offered in nine states and DC where there are no gestational limits to abortion access, according to Check-Your-Fact.
Pro-life activists shared multiple videos of recorded phone calls with supposed abortion clinics asking about obtaining an abortion in the third trimester (34 weeks). The assistant for the clinic supposedly claimed that there would be no issue receiving an abortion and went as far as explaining the gruesome process and ensuring that there was a doctor on staff that is well-versed in administering late-term abortions.
Harris knew she’d have the advantage when the network hosting the debate was run by Dana Walden, one of her closest friends.
Walden, a top Disney executive (Disney owns ABC), met Harris in 1994, and their husbands, Matt Walden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff have been friends since the 1980s, according to a piece by The New York Times about the apparent conflict of interest in ABC hosting the debate.
Not only have they been friends for decades, but the Waldens have also donated money to Harris’s political campaigns for years, the outlet reported. Harris credits Dana Walden with playing a role in introducing her to her now-husband, Emhoff.
Davis was the perfect pawn for this scheme as she and Harris were members of the same sorority: Alpha Kappa Alpha. Davis became a member at the University of Virginia and Harris at Howard University.
The point of the ABC debate was not to allow Trump to gain any advantage over Harris’s campaign while simultaneously allowing her to dodge the issues most important to American voters, like the economy and illegal immigration. Still, it didn’t work. Voters were left more confused than ever about Harris’s economic plan for the country, which gave Trump a polling bump regarding his ability to fix the country’s failing economy.
At least ABC won’t be borrowing the old Fox slogan “Fair and Balanced” any time soon
President Trump must exclude ABC from ALL press conferences and briefings when he is re-elected. Make it clear he will not talk to these Democrat operatives pretending to be members of the press. Send these scoundrels permanently into the wilderness.
FRAUD AND DISHONESTY
GREAT NEW AD.
Later, they eliminated that slogan...
Is there any truth to the rumor that Klamydia and Dana did duo-blows on Willie?
Asking for a friend, donchaknow.

President Trump did not end Biden’s campaign. Joe did that to himself.
I hope FReepers cease linking ABC. They should lose $
The more the media talks about it the worse it looks.
The media should ask a question of a candidate and then after it is asked THEIR mics should be muted.
Their job is to ask questions and get information and then shut up.
3 against one.
That is just for Minnesota specifically. States such as NY and California don't report the events either.
ABC should be forced to give the Trump campaign prime time on ABC (FEC could do that) . Then Pres Trump could be questioned by Elon Musk like they did the earlier event. Note head of president debate commission already said Trump was cheated by the bias by the Soyboy and Sorority sister
The other Marxist Media outlets have been showing the “fact-checks” as “evidence” against Trump’s claims. Any rational person can see the systematic bias.
If I remember correctly Trump said Democrats support late term abortions. He didn’t say anything about a law.
Soyboy and Soros sister........................
He didn’t.
That said, standing for unrestricted abortions have been in the Democrat party platform for over 30 years, and Biden and Harris both campaigned under it.
The Ruthless podcast does a very good breakdown of the mechanics of how the moderators twisted this thing. They go through the transcript section by section.

I think any new debate should start with a fact check of the Harris and the moderators in the last debate.
