Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News delivered a frankly disgusting performance during the September presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The network had agreed that there would be no fact checks and no interruptions, yet the partisan duo proceeded to do exactly that. In fact, Trump was fact-checked at least five times, while Harris was left to say whatever the heck she wanted (much of it lies). RedState didn’t hold back on what we thought of the tag-team event: Candy Crowley Is No Longer the Worst Presidential Debate Moderator of All Time Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, using his most arrogant, self-important tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong, but the mission had already been accomplished: they wanted to interrupt Trump’s flow, have him go off on some sideline that wasn’t germane to the argument he was making—and they succeeded. If this were Kamala Harris using these tactics, that would have been fine—she’s supposed to be trying to trip him up—but to have the supposedly unbiased neutral “moderators” join forces with Kamala was quite simply unethical. Of course, Trump was right, and Muir was wrong. The FBI, whose reputation was already in tatters, just demeaned themselves even more by quietly releasing new statistics showing that rather than the 2.1 percent decrease they’d reported, it was actually a 4.5 percent increase. Oops. RedState's Bonchie: SURPRISE: The FBI Just Stealth-Edited Its Violent Crime Rate, Blows Up Democrat and Press Narrative Yeah. The crime rate went up, not down. But while Mr. Muir may be at his $7 million dollar home on Skaneateles Lake, New York, busily eating crow for dinner, has he apologized to Trump, to the American people, to anybody? According to reports, the cat has got his tongue:
"Did not immediately respond." Meaning, they're cowering like cats in a rainstorm. I wondered in a piece Friday why this election is apparently so close—despite a majority of voters reporting that they are worse off than they were four years ago. One of my conclusions: the lying mainstream media has played a huge role in dumbing down the American voter.
Muir’s needless interjection into a historic and potentially history-defining debate was appalling at the time, but this new information makes him and his network look even worse. It would be nice to see him man up to it, but manning up is not something we see too often these days coming from the Democrat party/corporate media cabal. Meanwhile, I don't often praise Saturday Night Live, but their version of the conceited moderator had some funny moments (especially at the beginning where Mr. "I'm So Handsome" preens and laughs about his obvious bias): |
