No, that's silly. We have the First Amendment to protect such networks.
First Amendment be d@mned. Pull their license! They were mean to Trump?

That was most disgustingly biased moderated debate I had ever seen in my entire life. Trump was literally debating three democrats. The questions were 3 to 1 anti-trump. Trump’s mic was muted for at least 2 seconds when it was his turn to respond. Trump was grilled and fact checked over and over. Kamala wasn’t fact checked once (and she DID lie).
With all that said Trump did put on a poor performance last evening and I openly admit that as a conservative. He was getting angry and frustrated with how extremely unfair the debate was setup. So he was going off on the defensive. He also let Kamala get under his skin and was taking the bait in response to her questions.
Anyway me admitting that Trump lost that debate does not change my opinion of Kamala Harris at all. Trump is exactly right about how horrible her policies would be for our country especially her economic policies.
But I remember when Trump debated Biden several liberals were trying to claim that “Biden won” and kept making excuses for him which was so insanely ridiculous my stomach hurt from laughing. Again I can admit Trump lost that debate and STILL plan to vote for him.
Anyway I also noticed that Kamala never acted surprised with any of the questions she was asked. Even the really difficult ones.
Sure she got a bunch of softball questions and full support of the moderators. But still not once did she appear caught of guard by a difficult question. I wouldn’t be surprised if a future whistleblower claims that Kamala was leaked the debate questions in advance. Considering how insanely anti Trump ABC was it wouldn’t surprise me. She looked way too comfortable.
I’m gonna come over to your house with all of the immigrants from Springfield, Illinois and we’ll eat all of your pets.
@snowboarder720 do you see me defending Trump on that?
Biden's uncle was eaten by a cannibal.
@Guacamole409 good comeback and yes Biden really did claim that 👍🤣
@blueonblack22
And cannibalism is high in Haitti, but I'm sure they would never eat a roast goose.
Nah, I’m just saying I’m gonna BBQ my pets. This speaks truth!
@snowboarder720
Do you know who "Barbecue" is?
That’s Barbie’s cousin, Q
@snowboarder720
Ignorance is bliss.
🤣🤣🤣
She prepared. He didn't. That's why she mopped the floor with him!
Trump was fact checked cuz he LIED!!
TRUMP actually got 4-8 minutes more time than Harris
Which policies are horrible?
I know they were not performing their jobs as moderators because they are supposed to be biased and they couldn't help themselves but chime in to support Harris when they could to the point where it might as well be three against one. I don't know enough about broadcasting rules and such to know if this is worthy of termination or not.
It certainly didn't help their reputation for being establishment shills, at least as far as how I see them. It actually isn't surprising to me at all that they did this.
@goaded it doesn't matter. Their job at that moment are to be moderators. You dont seem to be aware that they are supposed to take the moderate position as the name makes clear.
They are only there to give the topics of the debate and keep it from going too far off topic. That's it. Even the CNN moderators did that correctly.
Either they shut up and do their job or correct Harris too because there were plenty of things that she said that even the left-wing media debunks yet they didn't do shit.
Defending truth and accuracy is a moderate position. Why don't you think so?
The only fact check against Harris was that there was only one study that found what she claimed, others put the cost of Trump's policies as low as $1,350 a year on a middle class family. Nobody doubts there will be costs.
I think he flubbed it on purpose, honestly. He knew he had a chance against Biden but not against Harris, so he decided to purposely provoke responses that he could use to make himself out to be the victim to his loyalists. It’s a pretty common tactic among narcissists to pick a fight just so they can say the other person is wrong for giving in to their provocations and they can say they aren’t the bad guy when they say the exact right thing to make the other person scream at them “out of nowhere.”
I don't think his sociopathic narcissism would allow him to throw the debate and be a "loser" but your right a bout martyrdom - he LIVES for that. Great answer!
It's crazy how now telling the truth and not lying is taboo.
It's crazy how somebody fact checking things you say and making sure you are telling the truth and not just lying through your teeth is viewed as unfair and wrong.
I guess people should be able to just say anything now. Get away with anything they say without being called out for lying or making shit up.
When did fact checking become a negative thing?
"When did fact checking become a negative thing?"
It's a bad thing when you only do it to one side.
But does that tell you something maybe? 🤔
Yes, they cheated.
"cheated" 😂😂
Bo maybe Kamala wasn't up there spewing wild ass conspiracy theories like... States being ok with killing babies after they're already born. Nobody does that, that's straight up murder.
Or Haitians stealing everyone's pets and eating them 😂😂😂 fucking hilarious how batshit crazy that is he believes that. By the way got proven false 8 times over.
You can't just say the wildest craziest shit imaginable and get away with it.
What next? He's gonna say that Kamala is an alien and not really human? She's an actual lizard person?
But god forbid you fact check that.
They never even mentioned fact checking with Kamala. Why not?
Because she didn't spew wild ass conspiracies on stage like I already listed. Trump got fact checked on things that were known lies and bullshit.
Kamala could've lied about stuff, all politicians do but they weren't mentally ill crazy person lies like Trump was saying.
It was so bad that everybody at home democrat or republicans were both looking at Trump when he said it thinking " what the fuck man?"
We must have watched two different debates.
What do you think about the next debate?
The word on the street is that Kamala wants another debate. Do you agree with my conditions? ↗
Must have because it's crazy you choose to just ignore that trump absolutely said immigrants were stealing pets and eating them and mentioning after birth abortion.
It damn sure happened. But I can see you being embarrassed by him saying that and just saying "I didn't hear that fake news" y'all do it everytime he says or does something scandalous or criminal or embarrassing. Y'all deny deny deny. Everytime.
If he told you he was Jesus reincarnated you'd believe it. 100 percent. He could put a bullet in the back of your loved one's heads and you'd still follow him into hell.
Y'all worship him at this point. It's not even about the republican party anymore. It's just him y'all worship.
If he doesn't win and he fades away and dies of old age because it's gonna happen fairly soon. You won't even be political anymore. I bet you won't even vote anymore because he'll be gone and it's him you worship. We all know it.
You obviously didn't watch the debate, because if you did, now
now you're the one lying.
There ya go. Deny deny deny. If I posted a clip you'd say "fake news, it's AI" 😂
Trump never said that states allow infanticide. That's just your left wing lie.
https://youtu.be/lHycpIhnFcU?si=tJOQ2uG2Vm8lpea2
Here's your Jesus.
This is embarrassing for you at this point 😂
Ooops, you posted the wrong video. Try harder.
Nope I posted the dog and cat video And the other
You're just taking L's at this point 😂 you're addicted I think.
Is this some weird humiliation kink?
Trump was talking about what the governor of Virginia WANTS, not what's happening. Chuck Schumer also wants to kill babies after birth. You are worse than the weasles on MSNBC.
Hahaha yeah they want after birth abortion 😂😂😂 go back to Qanon
It's not even fun playing anymore. I feel guilty for poking fun at the mentally ill now.
@Guacamole409, I’m gonna eat all of your pets if you say another stupid comment. Better believe me too because you believe anything coming out of that dude’s mouth. 😆🤣
The one "falsehood" CNN could find with anything Harris said in the debate was that only one study agreed with her claim that Trump's policies would cost a middle class family around $4000 a year was that only one study said that ($3,900), others estimated as low as $1350 (given different versions of his policies and different assumptions). The truth is still that his policies will cost people thousands.
Trump had at least 33 falsehoods, including inflating the number of immigrants by a couple of orders of magnitude. His “21 million people” crossing the border monthly would have doubled the population in less than a year. That's insane.
The problem with fact checkers is when they miss the point of their jobs and bend over backwards to have something bad to say about both sides, which can lead to perceived equivalence between "he said $15 and it's really $35" (about a price cap that really was an achievement and saves diabetics a lot of money) and "immigrants are coming for your kittens!" (which is completely made up).

There is nothing wrong with fact-checking, but that is not the moderator's role or responsibility. More I importantly, fact-checking us done AFTER the debate, not before it.
ABC should not lose its broadcast license, but the moderators should be disciplined. It's obvious they were biased, and that's not how a debate should be held. Let the candidates talk, not the moderators.
@AviatorTom No, it's important that it happens, at least in the most egregious cases, on the spot and at the time. Bias towards the truth is not bias, it's moderation.
If you don't want to be corrected, don't spout obvious lies. Most people don't find that difficult.
Candidates are allowed to lie, but news organisations should tell the truth and not let lies go unchallenged on their platform. If one side says it's raining and the other says it's not, you look out the window and inform your viewers which is correct.
@AviatorTom Yes, they did, they reported the facts. It's not their fault Trump doesn't care about facts. The problem with the US media over the last few decades is that they think that reporting what both sides say is reporting the facts, it's not.
If someone says it's raining and someone else says it's sunny it's not the reporter job too and report both sides. The reporter job is to look outside the window and see what's really happening!!

If the entirety of mainstream media is a lie, why not sit down on a Podcast and tell the world what he plans to do as a second term president rather than have these debates which he feels are always a lie, cheating, rigged? Why not have a town hall meeting of his choosing and his location on his broadcast of choice and field questions from the audience? If one has a real plan for the direction of this country, put it out there in real terms, with real facts, with real information. To me, that would be proof of the seriousness of his candidacy, but a las....
you mean why not find a friendly podcaster who won't fact check him or challenge him. He fled to Fox News this morning becuase he knews they won't challenge him.
He has an inkling of a possibility of an iota of a concept of a plan.
ABC should never be trusted for news and certainly never to hold a republican involved debate again.
They lied to Donald Trump in assuring him of impartiality. that said Nobody should be shocked they lied or did what they did.
ABC is owned and run by the same people who drove ESPN business into the ground simply to push their leftist ideological agenda.
He's a petulant child who just needs to fall asleep in his hi-chair after hurling ketchup bottles at the wall. All bluster and no bite. A blowhard. A bully. A disgrace. Weird! He's spent. He's old news.
The real answer is that maybe they should. The FCC is the licensing authority for broadcast stations. There are standards that require stations to operate in "the public good" . I think a pretty good argument can be made against a network that conspires with a political candidate to give one candidate an advantage to another candidate with the intention of effecting the outcome of an election.
"Conspires" LOL.
@DrPepper12 when you give one candidate the questions in advance and you fact check one candidate and not the other and when you mute the microphone of one candidate and not the other and when you steer the debate away from topics that will make one candidate look bad it is conspiring.
Are these conspirators here with us in the room now?
Proof she got the questions?
Proof that she got more time?
Proof the questions were leading?
@DrPepper12 Harris gave an obviously rehearsed performance and since she is a total moron and incapable of an original thought nobody was fooled.
That's right!!! REHEARSED!! PREPPED!! READY, WILLING AND ABLE!!
@DrPepper12 Yes, preloaded with all the questions and all the answers. This was the most blatant bag job I ever saw. I said this as soon as she opened her mouth.
The dude had more talking time than his opponent. He folded up real quick when he was debating with someone younger than 60. The dude should just give up.
Haha, did he already get that desperate? Hilarious. He's devolving quicker than expected. How dare they call the liar a liar?
I don't think so but it was totally unprofessional from their side... they didn't even try and act to be impartial , too obvious
You noticed kaMALA wasn't fact checked once, right?
what did she lie about?
Let's see. She lied that Trump didn't tell people to be peaceful jan 6, she lied that his agenda is project 2025, she lied that he called nazis "very fine people". You know, the same lies you shitlibs have been parroting for the past 4 years. And that was just in one response.
Trump literally there were very fine people on both sides of the Charlotessville marches and counter marches!
Very fine people don't march with neo-Nazis!
see, you keep up the lies. Like a good muppet.
what did I say that was not true?
You lied when you said the protestors were marching with nazis.
so no one was chanting "The Jews will not replace us!"?
So what the fuck does that have to do with the people who weren't chanting that? Are we going there, now? Where one person doing something in a protest taints the whole group? Are you really ready for that?
Because if that's the metric, then all you Ukraine supporting assholes are nazis.
you march with people shouting that, you give tacit approval to it.
ok, well it's nice to know you admit being a nazi.
@Juxtapose I don't march with anyone who advocates violence.
by the way, when Trump said polls said that 90% 86% etc said he won the debate, what polls is he referring to?
@OtterMan68 nice pivot, nazi.
Not even your own propaganda outlets agree with you on some of your claims.
www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/
He did not call Nazis "very fine people."
would you march with Nazis if you agreed with them?
I said I would not march with people advocating violence.
You're trying to project your own naziism on others.
I don't march with Nazis, and I look down on anyone who does. They are NOT good and fine people.
You support Ukraine You want the US to support Ukraine financially. The Azov battalion is full of nazis. Therefore you are a nazi. This is your logic applied equally.
@Juxtapose It's a two-fold strategy. First it stops them from having to defend kaMALA's horrible record and admitting they were bamboozled in the primaries.
@Juxtapose I'm sick of them lying and being unable to defend kaMALA's record.
@Juxtapose he said there were very find people on both sides.
On one side were neo-nazis and the people marching with them.
"We looked into these claims, and found that while Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," meaning both the protesters and the counterprotesters, he also condemned neo-Nazis and white nationalists outright and said he was specifically referring to those who were there only to participate in the statue protest. We found the original clip on C-SPAN, and transcribed the relevant section below:"
www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/
@Juxtapose There's no debating with them on this point. They're either complete idiots or being willfully ignorant to push political agendas. They are wholly dishonest to their core.
That's what happens when you don't lie... You don't need fact checking.
@DrPepper12 you’re right. And you shitlibs get fact checked on everything you type.
It's easy to blame everybody else but yourself when thing don't go your way. Typical narcissist behavior.
No, but he shouldn't allow them at his rallies or press conferences.
They absolutely should! If Fox gets punished for its speech let's punish these fuckers.
when did Fox lose their license?
So what the hell are you talking about? Lol
Your explanation for why makes no sense at all and holds zero base of accountability.
That’s not what reading comprehension is but okay 👍 🤣
How n when did fox get punished?
No. They didn't do anything that's against the law
Trump always blames everyone else except himself.
F*ck yeah, I'm gonna take control of this orgy, railing @Jacob_StrokeChild 'cause he's been such a bad, bad boy today! Gonna make him beg for more with every thrust.
Bring it on, boys! I'm the ultimate power top here, and I'll be owning @Justin_HugeThroat's mouth, making him worship my cock like it's a religious experience. Suck it, boy!
Who says billionaires can't have a fat, juicy booty? I'll be the star of this show, taking it like a champ while the others fight over who gets to fill me up next.
Time to get high... on more than just drugs, baby! I'll snort, snort, snort, and then take @Larry_Pegs' strap-on like a champ, feeling the adrenaline rush!
Slow and steady wins this depraved race! I'll drive 'em wild with my teasing, tortuously slow blow jobs. Making 'em want it fast, even if I take it easy as can be.
All of you douche bags are going to take it up the ass so hard, you'll wish you had posted this shit on x. com.
While I do feel they mistreated information, I don't think they did anything illegal.
You mean treated fairly?
They gave him more leadway than they gave her
Yes they went after him
HE LOST THE DEBATE. FULL STOP
