CNN Anchor Tries to Justify ABC News ‘Asymmetrical’ Fact-Checking of Only Trump
Breitbart ^ | 09/11/2024 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 09/11/2024 1:41:37 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN anchor Abby D. Phillip on Wednesday sought to justify the presidential debate moderators’ uneven fact-checking of former President Donald Trump and not Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her numerous lies.

“Just fyi: when there is asymmetrical lying, there will be asymmetrical fact checking,” Abby D. Phillip posted on X.

Her post came in response to criticism from the right over ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis’s constantly fact-checking Trump and letting Harris skirt by with falsehoods.

To add insult to injury, the ABC propagandist hosts’ declarations that items were false were what was false! “Fact checking - my eye! Their ״fact checking” was right out of Pravda.

And Linsey and Ka-muiMalo-la had the very SAME Wireless audio earrings on. The product is made, called NOVA 51.

Photos of Linsey and the karamella— show they have on the very SAME earrings! So, Linsey was coordinating from the producer or campaign director/manager the entire “debate” including directed rebuttals FURNISHED to this idiot woman who was also quite drunk and high on CNS depressant of some type. Adderall possibly.

K’s pupils on closeup- in the photos of the earring— are seriously dilated- not possible on a TV set with the kleig lights so bright.

In addition other observers have noted that her right side “hairdo” was cemented in place with hair hold so her hair would not (while constantly jumping about and swinging her head which she did) reveal the earring and earpiece receiver on that side to Trump and any cameras that passed across Trump to her beyond on Trump’s left side.

DETAILS- And details which NEED to be brought up— directly to ABC including their complete abandonment of the microphone cutoff/muting. She was talking over Trump all the gd time! He cut HER off during his talking with the quip “I’m talking now!— That sound familiar” her bitch line against Pence in 2016.

I didn’t even notice the earrings. Would not surprise me if there was some dialogue going on between the two women.
Dems only play fair if they don’t have choice or opportunity to cheat..

To my knowledge, Trump is the 2nd President in the last 150 years to be shot.

Not one question on the attempted assassination! How can that be?

Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt (survived), Kennedy, Reagan (survived).

Why would they?

What information would be valuable in that exchange?

She lied over and over again. The moderators did as well.

Who fact checked any of the three of them?

The public is left to do it, and if they voice what they
find, the social media giants are free to squelch their
output.

Project 25*
The racial slur against him, regarding southern protesters*
Her claiming she has no plans to come after guns
The issue of Haitians eating pets*
Him stating they have talked about after birth abortion
and the moderator stating there are no states that allow
that, when he didn’t say they already do. Her inference
was that he had said it, when he hadn’t. That was improper
and was meant to mislead the public.

Aaaaand, her lying over and over about him lying.

* Already fact checked and on the record in public

moderator interference and lying
ear phones
ABC Collusion
DNC involvement

If you have to go to that much trouble to cheat, you sure
don’t have faith in your platform, or the plans you have
been revealing at your rallies you bussed in people to
bump up your crowd numbers.

Describes herself as “Afro-Trinidadian.” It’s not the job of the question asker to provide ‘fact-checking.’ Nor is it their job to be truth arbiters. If here was ‘fact-checking’ to be had, that idiot Harris should have been the one doing it.

But no, when a Republican debates an idiot Democrat he has to take on the whole damn team of moderators, their organization and you and your damned minority wonks.

Still gonna vote for Trump and still will revel in your tears and wails to the skies when he does.

That was the one I was trying to think of. Not mentioned last night, but there’s also “dictator on day one.”

I don’t think Kamala was successful. Now this lady here tells us what she saw at that debate last night.

Hang on to your chair because it has some salty language bt I thought I would choke laughing at this.

How can you host a debate and the so called “moderators” not mention the assassination attempt?

Right. Because that would be a softball for him.

Their instructions were to serve up softballs to her - not him.
