Paging David Muir and ABC News: Humiliation Is Calling, Courtesy of New FBI Crime Stats
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).
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.
