Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell appeared for a post-debate segment on Varney & Co. on the Fox Business Network on Wednesday morning. Varney began by displaying the most recent NewsBusters study showing that the CBS Evening News was 89 percent positive for Democrat Tim Walz and 89 percent negative for Republican J.D. Vance.
He asked Bozell if moderators Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan were fair. Bozell replied "shocker," they were not. He offered the MRC count of the moderator questions. There were 19 CBS questions from the left-wing agenda and only two from the right (on restraining deficits). There were 15 challenging questions to Vance, and only seven to Walz. CBS forced follow-ups on Vance on ten occasions, but Walz only drew two. "That tells the story," Varney said.
Varney also asked about reports that Donald Trump refused an interview request from 60 Minutes, showing video of CBS reporter Lesley Stahl in 2020 that you couldn't prove anything was corrupt in the Hunter Biden laptop documents. Bozell said Trump should refuse to do interviews with CBS.
Also on Wednesday morning, Bozell shared the MRC research with Larry O'Connor on WMAL radio in Washington. O'Connor accused the CBS moderators of media "malpractice," and Bozell said Tim Walz should have been asked more questions about his radical record in Minnesota. Our MRC poll found most Biden voters didn't understand how radical Kamala Harris was when she ran for president in the last election cycle, and they don't know Walz's record now.
