ROOKE: ABC Moderator Straight Up Admits They Had To Tip The Scales Against Trump
Daily Caller ^ | September 12, 2024 | Mary Rooke - Commentary and Analysis Writer

Posted on 09/13/2024 8:01:46 AM PDT by Red Badger

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.

As outrageous as this indictment is, the fact remains that:

A) Against everyone screaming, “It’s trap!”, Trump still agreed to a debate with ABC and,

B) Trump was either completely unaware of what to expect or was totally unprepared.

Yeah, I remain a committed Trump supporter but even a small child was aware of what was going to happen. Why is there never, ever a debate with Conservatives? Why? Because Democrats will never agree to it, that’s why.

How many more times will Republicans willingly march onto the Mayan altar of the liberal media debate death?

whether they admit it or not- it was blatantly obvious that they did- which we all knew they would- they lived up to their infamy as lapdogs for the left

I agree- Bring proof of haitians eating pets- killing pets, stealing pets, and make harris acknowledge the fact- also bring evidence that no, Pres trump did not endorse radicals in Charlottesville- and make harris acknowledge that fact too- Fact check all her lies and provide the proof that they are lies-

I didn't watch the dembait, nor do I ever click on any link that takes one to Angry Bitter Communists.

The article says Davis remained mostly in the background except for the fact-check about states in the Union.

They used that nut, Harris, as bait to lure President Trump into their ambush. Trump needs to be careful and not fall for that crap again.

Add in one person appointed by each side. We need to quit pretending the media is not biased.

when are you and others going to realize his whole life, at times, Trump walks into the lion’s den as prompted by God or his own sense and God sees Trump through?

don’t just look from human points of view or you miss the bigger picture.

Trump, as with many people on this earth, gets put into or walk themselves (many times fearlessly) into various situations to let evil (slight or large) be exposed.

Everything moment and happening in this world is a chance to get right with God for all the people involved.

Some listen and let God change them.

some don’t listen and stay stuck in themself, their ways, views, sins, etc.

we all face God in the end and better to get right now because a next breath is not promised. there is a heaven and a hell and each person chooses to which they go.

Trump may not be right on everything but I applaud he lets himself be used for Higher purposes.

the fact people keep judging by world standards and saying trump got trapped or is stupid, just shows there are lots of people focusing on the things God says, in His word the Bible, are the unimportant things.

Hern was killing fully-formed babies when Roe vs. Wade was still the law. On screen, NBC says "Abortions Later In Pregnancy Exceedingly Rare." Their source was the Centers for Disease Control. In 2015, they found 1.3 percent of abortions came after 21 weeks. Their number of reported abortions was 638,169 -- 1.3 percent of that total is 8,296.

Now compare that to the Washington Post finding on the number of unarmed black men killed by police in 2019. It was 13. Anyone think NBC would tout that as "exceedingly rare"?

First, ABC needs to fire everyone from the sorority sister on up to the top of their fake news organization.

Second, the Trump campaign should insist on moderator approval or no dice.

Third, in the meanwhile, at every rally and in ads, Trump and Vance need to criticize the “fact checks” and systematically debunk them, while debunking the “fine people” hoax and other lies that the lying whoring c-word used without being interrupted by the fake mods.
