The big presidential debate on Tuesday night on ABC News will be moderated by World News Tonight anchor David Muir and their Sunday-night news anchor Linsey Davis. A review of their biased moments suggests they are going to tilt in favor of Kamala Harris making "history." Davis has repeatedly suggested Trump might be a "racist" and "white supremacist."
Director of Media Analysis Geoff Dickens joins the show to preview what we might see. Muir has uncorked some gassy passages about the "right to choose" death for the unborn. In several questions, Davis has pushed election denial as she asked sympathetic questions to Democrats Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton.
Every time the Republicans accept a debate with "mainistream media" moderators they are agreeing to a disadvantage. But in this cycle, it seems like the only way to get Democrats flushed out of their hide-in-the-basement strategies.
Plus. ABC, CBS, and NBC surprised us when they all led off their Thursday night newscasts with Hunter Biden's guilty plea in the California tax evasion case. Will the debate moderators bring up Hunter Biden's guilty plea? Some want to pretend this all goes away with Joe Biden, but Sen. Harris fiercely advocated for Trump's impeachment over asking Ukraine's president to look into Hunter's lucrative contract with a Ukrainian oil and gas company.
