BREAKING: CNN will implement a 1-2 minute delay for tonight’s presidential debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump needs to just say no!

And now CNN won't let reporters inside the debate hall during the debate; they will only allow one pool reporter to be there.

CNN doesn't want witnesses in the room to report what's going on during the two-minute delay in the feed in case something happens.

I’m very skeptical about this minute delay thing. It was tweeted over an hour and a half ago, and no other media source that I know of, even on the right, has mentioned it.

Also, I don’t see the post on the guy’s actual X/twitter page (https://x.com/RealPatrickWebb), or on his webpage (https://theleadingreport.com/)

I'm voting for Trump in November, even if he wins, I'm expecting that he'll become a lame duck immediately (mostly not his fault).

But if we went with DeSantis, we'll get eight years out of him.

The Democrats know that they have to block Trump's agenda for four years then they can start over with Gavin Newsom in January 2029.

Can’t get the link to work.

The delay will be 24 hours before they quit, so the fake newsers can start doctoring opinion polls.

Trump needs to be wearing a recording device so the record can be set straight if needs be.

Pleas turn it on and then don’t watch it. If we all cut it idiots will say Trump has no following.

[fwdude]

Color me surprised.

[Jamestown1630]

I think the WHCA is pretty pissed about that.

[WVNan]

You don’t have to boycott it, They will say that Trump has no following.

President Trump now has the power to destroy CNN completely. He would do well to pull the trigger and walk away from this duplicitous fiasco.

[Political Junkie Too]

I don't understand why CNN is letting other networks simulcast the debate. They pretty much gave up their ratings boon; I'd think most viewers will watch on their preferred channel than on CNN if given the choice.

I am certain that is exactly what happened.

[wildcard_redneck]

If a former present like Trump cannot get hardware in the hands of allies to allow him to film the rigged “debate” independently then maybe he doesn’t deserve to be president. That’s all I am sayin’.

[Nervous Tick]

So you’re voting for a candidate — or so you say —,that you talk trash about in a public venue every chance you get. Seems irrational and counterproductive to me. Why don’t you follow the example of RdS and actually back and support President Trump? Unless, of course, you’re a progressive actually backing Jobama and blowing smoke up our bidens!

Thanks for confirming the delay.

WHY?! This is a live debate, show it live. What are they going to do with a 2-minute delay other than edit bad camera feeds, cut away to help Biden, etc.

SHOW IT LIVE!

[pghoilman]

Do we know this is true?
Does anyone know if other sources are reporting this?

[mewzilla]

Trump in his own words...

TRUMP 5D CHESS: "[CNN] Made an offer they knew I couldn't accept. It's like the Mob. They made an offer So Ridiculous, they knew I would say No.. BUT I SAID YES! and now, They Don't Know What the Hell To Do!"
