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.

Absolutely Bogus Content
Apparently it is the RNC who agrees to these so-called “traditional” debates.
Alternative media is never in the mix. Newsmax I think, would have held CommiLah to contrasting herself, her accomplishments and to tightly frame her policies for 2025.
She would obviously have nothing to say, all night long.
A Best question would be... “Did you ever at any time, on anything, say “NO” to Resident Biden?
Tip the scales... meaning... they cheated and/or rigged the debate? Shocked I tells ya!
Right, I understand marching into enemy strongholds, but that’s not what I’m talking about. What I am talking about is why Republicans always - always - willingly sign up to play on the corrupt, corporate media’s playing field. Always giving Democrats homefield advantage. Why? Why CNN and ABC, always?
Why not dethrone the perceived status of the corrupt MSM and do a debate on X? And why, is there never a conservative format that Democrats are willing to agree to? Are two parties negotiating the debate location and format, or is it always Democrats dictating their terms for debate?
Why do the debate venues and rules always mirror the way Republicans negotiate the terms of their surrender with Democrats in Congress? Must it always be this way?
Should anyone buy products advertised on ABC?
He works for ABC he didn’t have to admit it everybody knew.
Obama pretended to be a Moderate. That's not the case here.
It’s like Japanese baseball teams playing against Major League U.S. teams. They have to cheat or they would never win.
They have to cheat or they would never win.

Davis was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying:
“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators...”
The fact that Biden was incapable of rebutting debate points on his own was a valid outcome of the debate and not meant to be a clarion call for future moderators to step in and protect the Democrat. The fact that the CNN moderators did not cover for Biden was not a mistake for ABC to correct, it was a service to the American people that ABC News should have emulated.

The MSM is making a mistake, this isn't 2012, or even 2020 ... the era of the MSM attempting to ordinate an outcome of a debate, even the black genocide machine and its participants know live babies are sacrificed to moloch every day. The thing is, Karamela, not being black, isn't "in" on the meta, whereas Mooch most definitely would have been.
The ABC so called ‘debate’ was an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign. The IRS needs to look into this...
