CNN’s Political Director: Debate ‘Not the Ideal Arena’ for Live Fact-Checking Trump
Breitbart ^ | 06/24/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Thursday’s presidential debate is “not the ideal arena for live fact-checking” former President Donald Trump, CNN political director David Chalian warned potential viewers Monday.

CNN’s coverage of Trump often includes network personnel attempting to fact-check Trump in real time or trying to fact-check him immediately after live coverage ends.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins was widely criticized last year for failing to successfully fact-check Trump during her town hall event. The audience cheered Trump’s performance, while Republicans lauded Trump’s delivery as one of the best by the former president.

Chalian, who believes Trump “doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt on words,” told the New York Times that debate co-hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will use the event to facilitate conversation, which CNN analysts will use to fact-check immediately after the telecast.

Trump: Good evening.

CNN Fact Checker:Lie! Lie! Lie! It’s not a “good” evening. It’s an ordinary evening.

Tapper: Well, I see Trump is off to a start - THREE LIES!

...

and it goes on like that all night.

Thanks for sharing that, Liz.

I’ve heard from good sources on USAWatchdog.com with Greg Hunter that Biden’s real approval rating is 8-9%. I believe it.

Maybe the “moderators” should be checked for earpieces...

Not the Ideal Arena’ for Live Fact-Checking...... Trump.

There, in their own words is all you need to know about the "debate" fairness.

Tapper: OK. I apologize. I’m sorry you’re just like Hitler, you evil, lying racist, Russia-colluding pig!

Trump: I’m sorry you’re sick with Trump Derangement Syndrome and I live rent free in your head, but I won’t hold that against you. Other than that, I’m sure you’re entirely objective and fair.

Those are both VERY GOOD.

I can’t decide which is better.

One can only hope he surprises us all and does something original in such a manner.

It would be PERFECT!

Of course there is no concern about fact checking Biden.
