Carol Platt Liebau: Americans Distrust Elite Media
Description
Americans deserve a more balanced debate than they got from ABC.
The moderators fact-checked former President Trump four times, but never fact-checked Vice President Harris, and at least one FactCheck was factually incorrect. Trump may have made 14 false statements, but Harris made 16. While the moderators pressed Trump six times for follow-ups, they didn’t press Harris at all. Not once. That's not the only place the fix was in. The questions the moderators selected, including about race, the last presidential election and January 6th, were designed to make Trump look extreme. Issues unfavorable to Harris: Taxpayer-funded sex exchange operations for illegal immigrants, for example, were carefully avoided.
ABC is obviously in the tank for Harris, and the moderators behaved that way.
The media shouldn’t act surprised Americans no longer trust them.
