ABC Moderator Linsey Davis Admits: ‘Fact-checking’ Was Only Planned for Trump

[Akita Suggagaki]

I propose that we allow the American people themselves the ability and the right to determine for themselves who is telling truth and lies.

We already do and many prefer to believe lies.

 

[Vambram]

because they've got such a good track record on that subject...


It certainly can be if the debate is structured as such.

Debate moderators, just like anyone else in the media that calls themselves journalists, should not be placing their thumb on the scale in order to influence any election.

 

[Vambram]

We already do and many prefer to believe lies.

Nevertheless, no matter who a person decides to vote for, they should be allowed to make up their minds for themselves without the biased influence of biased journalists and moderators.

Moderators should not be biased but should also hold both candidates to the truth.

Pointing out somebody lied isn't bias.

 

[Vambram]

Pointing out somebody lied isn't bias.

It is if one doesn't do it fairly on both sides, and it is if what the moderator thinks is a lie really is not a lie.

 

[Hammster]

To be fair Mr trump is world renowned for his telling of lies. Having a list of the ones he normally trots out is just good preparation.

Did Harris lie? If so, then she is a liar.

 

[Larniavc]

Did Harris lie? If so, then she is a liar.

And?

Article is older but interesting

Has China Compromised Every Major Mainstream Media Entity?

It seems a number of major US media outlets have financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and it shows in their coverage of coronavirus.

thefederalist.com

China has the most to lose with a Trump presidency and they do have financial ties via Disney to ABC.

Just always interesting how financial ties do appear to track with bias directionally in China's benefit.

Just trying to figure out the new rules now that we've thrown all morality out the window...

You should be clear if you want to defraud and/or improperly influence some election officials, hide hush money payments to your girlfriend so as to not tank your campaign, spread a bunch of bigotry and hate, run a fraudulent for-profit "university", or run a business that affords foreign agents the ability to line your pockets while you're in office.

This video taped declaration clearly shows she purjured herself under oath.

She should be charged because that's a crime, and the case thrown out with prejudice.

Bill Maher dredges up 2018 Stormy Daniels interview that totally undermines her Trump trial testimony

“Real Time” host Bill Maher wasn’t particularly thrilled with the testimony of adult film actress Stormy Daniels this week in the New York trial against former President Trump.

I wasn't remembering this come up during the debate.

That's nice. I didn't know we were talking about her.

 

[Hazelelponi]

That's nice. I didn't know we were talking about her.

That's what it looked like the comment I replied to was talking about. If you don't want independent conclusions as to what is being said be more clear.

I also pointed out I hadn't realized this was included in the debate, but I could be wrong, I fully admit I was at the time fairly shocked at the lies being spewed forth by both Kamala and her handler's... Oops, sorry, debate moderators who thought they were in the debate themselves.

Have you ever seen a presidential debate prior to the capture of our institutions? They were very different.

It might be enlightening for people to look at an older presidential debate.

 

[iluvatar5150]

That's what it looked like the comment I replied to was talking about.

Really? Which of these apply to Stormy?

• Defraud and/or improperly influence some election officials
• Hide hush money payments to your girlfriend so as to not tank your campaign
• Spread a bunch of bigotry and hate
• Run a fraudulent for-profit "university"
• Run a business that affords foreign agents the ability to line your pockets while you're in office

If you don't want independent conclusions as to what is being said

Conclusions arrived at independently are fine, but generally, conclusions ought not be independent of the subject at hand.

be more clear.

I gave five characteristics of Person A. You claim to have inferred that I was talking about Person B, about which zero of the characteristics apply. How should I be more clear? Should I go to six characteristics? Seven? Ten?

I also pointed out I hadn't realized this was included in the debate, but I could be wrong,

I still don't understand what point you're trying to make here.

I fully admit I was at the time fairly shocked at the lies being spewed forth by both Kamala and her handler's... Oops, sorry, debate moderators who thought they were in the debate themselves.

All Trump had to do was not spout nonsense he saw "on television" and he would've been fine.

Have you ever seen a presidential debate prior to the CCP capture of our institutions? They were very different.

Yeah, they used to have two people who tried to act mature, instead of just one.

ABC Moderator Linsey Davis Admits: 'Fact-checking' Was Only Planned for Trump

ABC News' Linsey Davis admitted that the plan was only to fact-check Trump, and not Harris, because of perceptions CNN was too nice to him.

www.breitbart.com

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.

No she didn't. From your own link:

'the decision to attempt to correct the candidates'...

That's plural. Both of them.

Edit: I see that it's already been pointed out by @iluvatar5150.

 

[Bradskii]

This video taped declaration clearly shows she purjured herself under oath.

No, she didn't. She never claimed that she was raped.

 

[RileyG]

To be fair Mr trump is world renowned for his telling of lies. Having a list of the ones he normally trots out is just good preparation.

Harris told plenty of lies, too.

 

[RileyG]

I propose that we allow the American people themselves the ability and the right to determine for themselves who is telling truth and lies. That is NOT the job of a debate moderator.

A debate moderator would always be biased with their own political persuasion.

 

[Hammster]

And?

Well…she’s shown that she lies.

 

[Hammster]

No she didn't. From your own link:

'the decision to attempt to correct the candidates'...

That's plural. Both of them.

Edit: I see that it's already been pointed out by @iluvatar5150.

And I responded.
