David Muir, who? It appears George Stephanopoulos has a new rival to look out for at ABC. Stephanopoulos’ political drama with President-elect Donald Trump has followed him into the new year and sources tell us his colleague — and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” co-host — Jonathan Karl, “wants George gone,” so that he can sweep in and take over the Sunday morning news show. “He wants the show, and he sees [ABC’s Trump settlement] as an opportunity,” a source told us about Karl’s ambition to move into Stephanopoulos’ spot. While Stephanopoulos’ name is on the show, he shares hosting...

VIDEO Jonathan Karl, who has a history of extreme TDS to the extent of even writing TDS books, was shocked that Senator John Fetterman was NOT also infected with Trump DERANGEMENT Syndrome during an interview with him. Fetterman's willingness to act like a normal person in regard to Trump also earned him the ire of the Bluesky Bolsheviks as you can see here.

George Stephanopoulos was repeatedly told by his executive producer not to “use the word rape” before going on the air to discuss Donald Trump but the ABC News anchor ignored the warning — a decision that cost the network $16 million, The Post has learned. Parent company Disney’s capitulation last week in the defamation lawsuit by Trump against ABC News and Stephanopoulos shocked media and legal experts, but the damning revelation could help explain why Mouse House CEO Bob Iger signed off on the settlement so quickly. The “This Week” host uttered that Trump was “liable for rape” while discussing...

ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a Trump presidential foundation and museum

Ukraine's air force said that at least 73 Russian attack drones entered the country's airspace on Saturday into Sunday morning, after a week in which both sides made battlefield history with new advanced weapons systems. Ukraine's air force said it downed 50 of the 73 Russian drones that crossed into the country. Another 19 drones were lost in flight, while four more were still flying in Ukrainian airspace as of just after 7 a.m. local time. Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 36 Ukrainian drones overnight Saturday and early Sunday. The ministry said its own strikes were part of a wider...

ABC News is in “panic mode” to hire some Donald Trump supporters for The View and other ABC News programming. This will never happen, at least not on The View, but the New York Post has been told that “ABC News brass are in ‘panic mode’ as they hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabid anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on The View, as well as those on other shows.” After “last week’s rout by the former president,” the report continues, ABC News executives had “intense sit-downs with executive producers of the network’s various shows and other senior...

Former President Donald Trump and Republican leaders across the country have for months characterized the alleged scourge of noncitizen voting as a pressing threat to a free and fair election, using heated rhetoric to suggest that widespread illegal voting could tilt the scales toward Democrats in November. But a spate of GOP-led inquiries in the weeks leading up to Election Day tell a different story, one that experts have long insisted is true: Noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare. Recent audits of voter rolls in states including Georgia, Ohio, and Iowa uncovered instances of noncitizen voting that overall amounted to only...

ABC News is apparently pressing the panic button in the wake of fierce criticism of its Sept. 10 presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. A sworn statement by an ABC News whistleblower exposing network bias favoring Harris continues to be in focus regarding “assurances” to the Democrat’s campaign days before the event. Now David Muir, anchor of ABC’s “World News Tonight” and co-moderator of the debate, is defending his performance during the matchup, as ratings for his evening news broadcast have plunged some 12% in the aftermath. “ABC News has offered assurances to the Harris...

ABC’s "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir may have driven away some viewers after the Disney-owned network irked conservatives during last week’s presidential debate.Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis fact-checked former President Trump five times without ever correcting Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting a plethora of conservatives to suggest the debate wasn’t fair. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America even called for a correction after Davis made an abortion claim made during the debate during one of the fact-checks on Trump that the group said was "100% inaccurate."Muir’s "World News Tonight" averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the three...

VIDEOImagine knowing that you are about to be exposed for being involved in the biggest network news scandal of all time? Could that be why ABC News anchor David Muir suddenly appears to be very very nervous? Every time anyone now watches Muir they can't help but think about his pledge at the beginning of the September 10 debate that "No topics or questions have been shared with the campaigns." The good news for David Muir is that his extreme on air anxiety may soon be relieved by being relieved of his job thanks to the ABC Whistleblower. More significantly,...

VIDEOThe breaking scandal about the Kamala Harris campaign being fed the questions in advance for the ABC News debate has a familiar ring. The Quiz Show scandal of the 1950s. Back then the games were rigged for ratings and the debate was rigged for politics. "Quiz Show" was a major motion picture and now it is a major political scandal. Coming soon to a wide screen TV near you!We don't need an ABC Whistleblower to tell us the debate was a scandal. Just ask yourselves how many times the moderators fact checked the many obvious lies of Kamala Harris. If...

“Absolutely not,” an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. “Harris was not given any questions before the debate,” adding no aides were in contact with the moderators either.ABC has denied Vice President Kamala Harris was given any questions ahead of Tuesday’s debate, shooting down one of the talking points that right-wingers—including former President Donald Trump—tried to use to explain the former president’s much-criticized debate performance. “Absolutely not,” an ABC News spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “Harris was not given any questions before the debate.” The network’s debate rules stated that “no topics or questions will be shared in advance...

BOMBSHELL REPORT: ABC whistleblower to reveal Harris campaign was given SAMPLE QUESTIONS that were essentially the same questions that were given during the debate..Reports also indicate they were provided SEPERATE ASSURANCES Trump would be fact checked and Harris would NOT..— Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) September 12, 2024

“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” said ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis, as she smugly “fact-checked” the Republican nominee. “Madam vice president, I want to get your response to President Trump.” “Well, as I said, you’re going to hear a bunch of lies,” eagerly agreed Kamala Harris. And then she proceeded to tell a bunch of lies. But in this exchange, the first lie was told by ABC’s Linsey Davis. And either ironically or coincidentally, one of the places where babies can legally be killed post-birth is in...

MEGYN KELLY: I'm disgusted. I'm ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do. The person who runs ABC News is a close personal friend of Kamala Harris and is responsible for Kamala Harris and her husband meeting. They did Dana Walden's bidding tonight. It was three against one on that debate stage this evening. Video… https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/09/11/megyn_kelly_im_ashamed_of_the_debate_moderators_at_abc_news.html

Russia appears to have launched its first major counterattack to drive Ukrainian forces out of Russia's Kursk region more than a month after Ukraine began its surprise offensive, according to Russian and Ukrainian sources as well as independent military analysts.Russian forces appeared already to have some success on Tuesday -- retaking some territory and driving a wedge into Ukrainian lines in Kursk, analysts said.Videos posted by pro-Russian military bloggers and geolocated by ABC News showed a large Russian armored column attacking toward the village of Snagost. Another video appears to show Ukrainian troops taken prisoner.The Russian counterattack is focused on...

The initial reaction to last night’s debate is that Kamala Harris held her own, albeit with the help of two ABC moderators, and that Trump was “rattled” and on the defense more than he needed to be. Generally, the debate is being cast as anything but the overwhelming victory for Trump that many predicted.But my guess is that both the dejection from the right and the perceived victory from the left will fade almost immediately as people have a chance to take in everything that really took place.For starters, the times when Trump looked “the worst,” like when moderators tried...

Why would the debate moderators ask about Democrats inciting a would-be assassin when they can just keep recycling the lie that Trump incited a violent mob?Nobody was surprised Tuesday night when the first — and likely only — 2024 presidential debate featured Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris, David Muir, and Linsey Davis. Yet the level of corruption never ceases to amaze, this time in the form of Kamala’s ABC cronies neglecting to bring up the recent attempted murder of their political foe that occurred not two months ago.You’d never know that the former and likely future president was shot in...

The debate moderator for the ABC News presidential debate tomorrow never criticizes anything Democrat nominee and VP Kamala Harris does, according to a new study. The new Media Research Center (MRC) study argues that, of the “Big Three” evening newscasts, one stands out for its extreme bias for Kamala Harris and against her GOP opponent Donald Trump: ABC’s World News Tonight, anchored by David Muir. And guess who the presidential debate co-moderator is, along with ABC anchor Linsey Davis? That’s right -- it's David Muir. The Tuesday debate will almost certainly turn into a platform for promoting and protecting Kamala...
