It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party. Whether the claims are true or not – the existence of the whistleblower remains unconfirmed – the mainstream media’s loyalty to Democrats is uncomfortably similar to the relationship Pravda had with the Central Committee of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party. To quickly recap, the unnamed whistleblower said ABC agreed to fact-check Trump...

The stars of The View had a very special guest on tap Thursday (September 19) to help them wade through the day’s “Hot Topics”: former first lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Naturally, as the former presidential candidate for the Democratic ticket in 2016, Clinton was asked to weigh in on her successor to that task, Vice President Kamala Harris — particularly, about her performance at her first (and, for now, only) debate against Donald Trump. When asked by the cohosts to reflect upon how her advice to Harris worked out — “you told her to bait...

Presidential debates are remembered for the candidates’ pithy one-liners. But in the chaotic political landscape of 2024, a simple statement of fact served as the showstopper on Tuesday’s showdown between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” said ABC News moderator Linsey Davis in the matter-of-fact style familiar to viewers who watch her on the Sunday edition of “ABC World News Tonight” and her nightly streaming newscast “ABC News Live Prime.” Her correction was a response to Trump’s claim that the...

Rumors are flying online that a whistleblower is going to come forward today in the form of a sworn Affidavit to expose the alleged “rigging” of the Debate in favor of Kamala Harris. But is it true? We don’t just publish rumors here, we investigate and give you the straight scoop — as best we can determine. So let’s dig in…. It all started yesterday when reports like this started to go viral online from some pretty big, normally reputable accounts: ****************************************************** Chuck Callesto @ChuckCallesto · Follow BOMBSHELL REPORT: ABC whistleblower to reveal Harris campaign was given SAMPLE QUESTIONS that...

ABC News failed to disclose that Kamala Harris and ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, who co-moderated Tuesday night’s debate between Harris and President Trump, are sorority sisters in the influential Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. AKA formed a PAC in August after Harris became the Democrats’ presidential nominee. The sorority connection is one more possible clue as to why the debate moderated by Davis and ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir was so one-sided in favor of Harris. Muir and Davis interrupted Trump numerous times to fact check and argue with him while they did not fact check Harris...

“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...

1. This debate wasn’t close. The majority of the focus coming into Tuesday was about how Harris would handle her first-ever presidential debate with someone who had been on this stage many times. Could she answer questions about her position shifts; parry attacks from Trump, someone who tries to be the alpha on these stages; could she answer the attack that she’s light on policy; and could she appear “presidential”? Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speak during a presidential debate. Politics NPR fact checked the Harris-Trump presidential debate....

CHAPIN, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump says he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News, making it increasingly unlikely that the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election. In a series of Truth Social posts late Friday, the Republican nominee and former president said his agreement to a Sept. 10 debate on ABC “has been terminated" because he will no longer face Democratic President Joe Biden, who ended his campaign last month after a disastrous performance in their first...
