Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged

[mourningdove~]

Two interesting points from the article:

Other publications have disclosed a questionable coziness between Harris and Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney and who oversees ABC News. The New York Times quoted Harris as calling their relationship "extraordinary friends,” and disclosed that Walden and Harris are neighbors in Brentwood, a wealthy Los Angeles enclave where Ms. Harris and her husband also own a residence. The Times also pointed out that The Waldens have donated money to Ms. Harris’s political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for district attorney in San Francisco.

PJMedia's Victoria Taft published yet more information about Harris' connections with ABC News undisclosed by the network. ABC moderator Linsey Davis bragged in 2021 on ABC's live coverage of the Biden Inauguration about being sorority sisters with Harris.

Veteran Democratic pollster Mark Penn said "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done [...] to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate." Penn is not...

What I saw was one candidate following the rules and the other candidate behaving and performing very badly. The latter has a particular kind of hubris and can not accept blame or responsibility for his failings. He feels the world is against him, the DOJ, with enough evidence to give him several life sentences, is persecuting him. No one on earth has ever suffered the injustices he has.
If such a relationship existed, I think many ethical professionals, rather than showing favor, would take extra care to be impartial.

The impartiality was shown by the moderators (for whatever reasons) ... they "fact checked" Trump and did not "fact check" Harris. Moderators are not supposed to inject their own opinions/comments into a debate ... but they did by "fact checking".

The question of was she given questions in advance? We know it has happened before .... so it's a possibility.

This is correct. Before Trump ran for president he was very well liked and had no law suits brought against him. The Russia Russia incident by the democratic party was proven to be a complete and contrived hoax via a complete fake dossier and nobody was held accountable for doing this. This created an enormous amount of breach of trust by the people in regard to the integrity of various governmental departments ... and rightfully so. Once trust is broken it is very difficult to get it back.

No doubt there is great corruption in our government (both sides) and because of the known breaches of trust most everything is getting questioned...and rightfully so.

"Cheating" has been exposed ... so it can't be (shouldn't be) discounted or ignored as a possibility.

Politics is a "cut throat" scenario and really we the American citizens are left largely in the dark about many things. We are left with having to deal with whatever comes down the pipeline and try to discern things best we can. More "due diligence" on our part is required ... however ... there are many who do not really do their own "investigation" into things and are able to look at them objectively.

Like anything .. a lot of times we have a preset bias and look through that lens ... so people interpret information differently (according to their lens)

We live in uncertain times.

Politics is a rat race LOL

That was interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Reference the discussion about Trump doing another debate?
As of last nite, I heard that he will not.

I very much agree with his decision. He was way outnumbered in this week's debate ... 3 against 1. And he stood there while Harris lied, and said very bad and untrue things about him, like a gentleman. He did not go into attack mode, and yet we know that he could have! And he would have been justified in doing so. Yet, he did not.

Trump does not need to go thru that ordeal again.

yeah --

ABC is getting some flack for stacking their "moderation" in the form of 93% negative on Trump and 100% positive for Kamala.

But as the video points out - the head of ABC is a close personal friend of Kamala - so not too surprising their very partial presentation.

The vid also reports current leaked info claiming that an ABC Whistleblower is submitting a signed affidavit stating the rigged-nature of what actually was going on behind the scenes at ABC for that debate.

Might actually turn out to be a very effective campaign ad for Trump the way it is backfiring.

I also don't think it's insignificant, that Linsey Davis (Tuesday's debate moderator) is sorority sisters with Kamala.
