Let me make something crystal clear: ABC’s Linsey Davis and her co-moderator David Muir were not debate moderators. They were liberal mouthpieces, hand-picked to stack the deck against Donald Trump. And now, thanks to Davis’ own admission, we have proof of what we already suspected—the entire debate was rigged. What’s even more infuriating is the fact that they don’t even try to hide it anymore.
The Shocking Admission
In a post-debate interview with the Los Angeles Times, Linsey Davis came right out and said it: They fact-checked Trump because CNN didn’t do a good enough job during an earlier debate between Trump and Biden. Let that sink in. According to Davis, liberals were upset that CNN moderators didn’t challenge Trump enough, so ABC decided they would “fix” that. How? By turning a supposedly fair debate into a biased attack on Trump.
What’s even worse is that Davis admitted she and Muir didn’t feel the need to fact-check Kamala Harris at all. You read that right: Trump gets hammered with five fact-checks, while Harris gets off scot-free. This isn’t just unfair; it’s a blatant attack on democracy. The role of a moderator is to be neutral, to give both candidates an equal platform to make their case. But when ABC decided they were going to be the purveyors of truth, they crossed a line. Who do these people think they are?
Fact-Checkers or Liberal Activists?
Let’s break this down further. In a debate, if you’re going to fact-check one candidate, you need to fact-check both. Otherwise, you’re not moderating a debate; you’re controlling the narrative. Davis and Muir knew exactly what they were doing. They set out to put Trump on trial while giving Harris a free pass. That’s not journalism—that’s activism.
And it wasn’t just the fact-checking. The moderators made sure Trump had no chance to defend himself. Every time Trump pointed out Harris’s record, especially on abortion, the moderators would swoop in to “correct” him. But as we now know, many of those “corrections” turned out to be flat-out wrong. In one viral moment, Davis told Trump, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.” She was referring to Trump’s comments about former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s disgusting remarks about late-term abortions. And guess what? Davis was wrong. Several states have late-term abortion laws that allow this, yet Harris wasn’t called out on any of her lies about abortion restrictions.
A Three-on-One Attack
As Trump himself said, it wasn’t a debate; it was three against one. Republicans everywhere saw it for what it was—a coordinated effort to take Trump down. And now, thanks to Davis, we know it was deliberate. She admitted they felt pressured by liberal backlash from the CNN debate. So instead of moderating fairly, they decided to lean into the liberal narrative and go after Trump.
This is disgusting. Moderators are supposed to facilitate a debate, not control it. But Davis and Muir weren’t interested in a real debate. They were interested in protecting Kamala Harris and taking shots at Trump. It was a rigged game from the start, and now they’ve admitted it.
Where’s the Fact-Checking for Harris?
Now let’s talk about Kamala Harris. Harris made several false statements during the debate, including blatant lies about abortion laws. Yet, Davis and Muir didn’t seem interested in fact-checking her. Why? Because Harris is their candidate, and they were there to protect her.
One of the most egregious examples was Harris’s claim that late-term abortions are illegal in most states. This is patently false, as even ABC’s own map shows several states have no restrictions on how late an abortion can be performed. Yet Harris got a free pass. Where was the fact-check? Where was the “journalistic integrity” we keep hearing about?
Let’s be clear: If you’re going to fact-check Trump on everything he says, you better be ready to fact-check Harris as well. But they didn’t. And now they’re admitting they never intended to.
The Media’s War on Trump
This isn’t just about one debate. This is part of a larger war on Trump by the mainstream media. From the moment he announced his candidacy, the media has been out to get him. And they don’t even try to hide it anymore. Whether it’s CNN, ABC, or The New York Times, the message is the same: Get Trump.
But this latest admission from ABC should be headline news everywhere. It proves what we’ve known all along—the media is rigged against Trump. They aren’t interested in fairness or truth; they’re interested in pushing their liberal agenda. And now they’re admitting it.
Why This Should Outrage Every American
Every American, whether you support Trump or not, should be outraged by this. The media is supposed to hold power accountable, not take sides. When moderators decide to become activists, the whole democratic process is undermined.
This isn’t just about Trump; this is about the future of political discourse in this country. If the media can rig a debate against one candidate, what’s stopping them from doing it again? If we allow this kind of bias to go unchecked, we’re letting the media decide who wins elections, not the American people.
It’s time to stand up and demand accountability. Linsey Davis admitted the debate was rigged, and yet the mainstream media remains silent. Where are the headlines? Where’s the outrage? If the roles were reversed and Trump had received such favorable treatment, you can bet the media would be in an uproar. But because it was Harris who got a free pass, they’re fine with it.
Final Thoughts
This is the moment to call out media bias for what it is—an assault on democracy. ABC’s Linsey Davis and David Muir betrayed their responsibility to the American people by turning the debate into a one-sided attack on Trump. This should never happen in a democratic society, and we must demand better.
We know the media will continue to protect their chosen candidates, but we will not be silenced. It’s time to hold them accountable for their blatant bias and make sure this never happens again.
