Breitbart, Sept 15, 2024. ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris so that Harris had a better chance to win. They (ABC) could not have another disaster debate like Trump-Biden said Davis.
As Breitbart News noted, Davis and co-moderator David Muir fact-checked Trump seven times — always incorrectly — while never fact-checking Harris once, even when she used hoaxes, such as the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax.
Davis told the Times that ABC had deliberately targeted Trump — and only Trump.
As the New York Post noted:
"Davis, while speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race,” the Times reported.
Harris repeated hoaxes unchecked. It was not a debate it was a tag team match where Muir and Davis held Trump down while Harris spewed nonsense and political lies. (Harris used the “very fine people” hoax in 2020 during the vice-presidential debate with Mike Pence, who fact-checked her onstage at the time.) Biden also used the “fine people hoax” and other lies in the June debate, and CNN did not fact-check him, either.
