Hoo, boy. ABC is taking a beating for how they handled it. And if this is true, look out:
https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/183430391720884...BREAKING: ABC whistleblower allegedly will release an affidavit claiming the Harris campaign was given sample questions that were “essentially the same questions that were given during the debate,” as well as assurances that Trump would be “fact-checked” and she would not.Even former Clinton operative Mark Penn is calling for an impartial investigation of ABC News for improper behavior:
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/...Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, called Thursday for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into its news division's planning and execution of this week's presidential debate to determine if there was some effort at "rigging the outcome of this debate."and
"I don't know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party 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. I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added.The moderators being not the brightest, have been giving interviews...and what they're saying is concerning:
https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/busines...Davis, wearing pink glasses 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.
“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis said.
Muir and Davis divided up the topics to study, and Davis fully anticipated that Trump’s erroneous abortion claim would come up when she questioned him on the issue.
“That was an obvious thing to get on the record,” Davis said.Here are the problems.
This is ABC deciding they needed to make the debate 3 on 1
because they didn't want to let what happened to Biden happen to Harris. She admits it right there.
And on abortion? ABC is flat out wrong. Minnesota has a number of kids who survive abortions die right there on the table. Trump was right.

And more from Mark Penn:
There can be no fair game or debate no matter what the score when the referees put their fingers on the scale.
What ABC did in poorly fact checking one side while letting the other side repeat serial falsehoods meant that one side had to do its own defense.
It robs all sides of a fair event and a clean, uncontested outcome. Shame on ABC
As I told you people: Trump lost the debate, but Harris really didn't win it.

What whopping fantastical lies did Kamala say that required fact checking?
BREAKING: ABC whistleblower allegedly will release an affidavit claiming the Harris campaign was given sample questions that were “essentially the same questions that were given during the debate,” as well as assurances that Trump would be “fact-checked” and she would not.
Yes I’m sure that somebody wrote a memo saying “He will be fact checked but she will not’. Seems likely.
And, for the record, the “sample questions” are those that any 3rd grader could have dreamed up, which any debate prep team would have ginned up, and even so, how would that have made Trump give ridiculous and inane answers?

Plenty. Don't you follow the issues?

And yet that happened.
I realize that in your mind, democrats never lie and that a "debate" is an event where the Republican is tied to a chair and interrogated within an inch of his life but the real world is quite different.
I yearn for the days of Political Asylum ca. 2001, when the truth still mattered. It seemingly doesn't to the left anymore.

No one plays the whining sore loser victim like a MAGA Republican.
Moderators gave Trump over 5 minutes more time than Harris.
Waaaaaaa! It’s unfair!!!!!
Moderators let Trump have the last word on EVERY ISSUE.
Waaaaaaa! It’s unfair!!!!!
Grow up and grow a set.

"Hoo, boy. ABC is taking a beating for how they handled it."
Not in the real world. In the real world ABC did just fine, in fact they are getting kudos for the way they did not let Trump tell blatant lies.
I am sure in the loser world where losers are looking for excuses and someone to blame, I am sure ABC is making for a good target.
You are in the cult so you are unable to see how Trump is a terrible debater because he is too arrogant to prepare properly, is too easily manipulated, and doesn't have a good grasp of the issues.
I will bet a lot a money that nothing will come of an affidavit about ABC providing the questions to Harris. If anything, it will come up when ABC or the moderators sue this guy for defamation. Anyone with half a brain knows there is no need to give Harris the questions in advance because anyone with half a brain already generally knew what the questions were going to be before the debate even started. This is a presidential debate, not the SAT or LSATs. Presidential debates are about topics that are in the news and many people potentially care about (i.e. current events). To find out the topics of the debate questions all a person has to do is follow the news.
Let's reverse it and give you an easy question for you to do your usual dodge: What question was asked of Harris that would have been a surprise and therefore she needed help by getting the question in advance? In my opinion, every question she was asked was simple and obvious and any competent person would know was coming if they even did a little bit of debate prep. So dodge away:
What question did Harris get that she benefitted by knowing was coming?

"What whopping fantastical lies did Kamala say that required fact checking?" - Goofyhoofy
"Plenty. Don't you follow the issues?" - Dope
This is so Dope. Make an accusation, then when asked for examples or evidence, run away and expect others to find evidence to support his own absurd claim.
Put bluntly and directly, I cannot find any whopping fantastical lies Harris said that required fact checking. Especially to the degree of Democrats allowing babies to be murdered after birth.
Now you better go and let your dog inside. Your neighbors might come looking for dinner.
