ABC Moderator Pays The Price For Biased Debate Performance

By News

Without a doubt, David Muir, an anchor for ABC News, gave the absolute worst debate performance in the history of not only the network but of presidential debates in general when he was supposed to be a moderator — alongside Linsey Davis who also did terrible — between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Rather than do his job to ask the candidates the questions we all need answers to concerning policies either individual would put in place if they were to win the election, Muir consistently butted in and inserted himself into the conversation, “fact-checking” Trump on the spot and arguing with him, while not ever questioning the obviously untrue things Harris stated in her answers.

It seems that ABC News believes all of their viewers are brain-dead leftists who only want to live in echo chambers and want to hear their own beliefs echoed back to them in the news products they consume. They would be wrong. Some of the individuals who tune into the network have enough self-respect to actually engage with the narratives they’re being fed.

Here’s more on that from The Western Journal:

According to Fox News, ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir suffered a staggering decline in viewership following his disgraceful performance during last week’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, which Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis helped rig in Harris’ favor. Whatever the reason for the viewership decline, the numbers paint an ugly picture. Throughout 2024 — at least before the infamous debate — “World News Tonight” had averaged 7.6 million viewers.

In the three nights following the debate, however — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week — that number dipped to 6.7 million. Of course, the numbers alone cannot confirm that Muir lost viewers solely or even primarily due to debate bias. Either way, however, the loss of nearly one million sets of eyeballs per night amounts to a comparative hemorrhaging. In fact, “CBS Evening News” and “NBC Nightly News” suffered what Fox described as only “slight declines” in post-debate viewership.

During the debate, Muir and Davis repeatedly “fact-checked” Trump, albeit inaccurately, while never once challenging Harris’ litany of lies. In a clip posted to the social media platform X on Wednesday, Fox News’s Jesse Watters highlighted the worst moments.

“ABC News’ reputation was the real loser last night. All future @GOP nominees should never agree to another debate on the network again,” Watters published in a post on social media.

An alleged whistleblower that works for the network has come out and leveled accused the network of working in advance with Harris’ campaign. Which would make sense because all of her answers were canned and delivered as if she knew what questions would be asked and when.

If any sort of actual, legitimate investigation into the allegations made by this whistleblower uncovers that ABC News really did collude with Harris and her campaign, should Trump win in November, they should be completely and totally denied access to the White House. They need to be punished for their bias and betraying the people of this country.
