ABC News whistleblower alleges collusion between network and Harris campaign on debate

An ABC News whistleblower has revealed collusion between ABC News, its designated moderators, and the Kamala Harris campaign in the recent presidential debate. In a sworn statement under penalty of perjury, notarized a day before the debate, the longtime ABC News employee revealed that ABC News has agreed to a series of secret demands from the Harris campaign, including questions that could not be asked and, that Trump would be "fact checked" (challenged) but she would not. The whistleblower says he has recordings that will substantiate his statements.

Curiously, debate moderator Linsey Davis boasted to the Los Angeles Times shortly after the debate that the two moderators had prepared extensively to challenge Trump during the debate but not Harris. This tracks with what the whistleblower has said.

The whistelblower also said that ABC News stated losing its objectivity soon after it was acquired by Disney

There have been studies going back decades showing heavy political bias in the major networks, so it makes no sense to depend on them to be controlling presidential debates if we want them to be fair and objective. With ABC News coverage this year, it has been 100% positive for Harris and 93% negative for Trump, so why should anyone expect any different in the debate? The problem with the Commission on Presidential Debates was that they always turned to these biased networks for debates.

We had a chance of something better when the RNC dumped the Commission on running the debates, but then failed to follow through and we ended up with something worse. The solution is negotiating debates openly. Realistically, finding knowledgable moderators who are both objective and unbiased is almost impossible in today's polarized society. The best solution is two moderators, one chosen by each side. The fact that a particular side chose a particular moderator will make it damaging if that moderator gets too one-sided and that would act as a safety valve.

The other option would be something like a modified Lincoln-Douglas debate, where half the questions came from each candidate. That way neither candidate gets protected by biased moderators from questions they do not want to have to answer. That worked fine for Lincoln and Douglas, so it should be fine for politicians today. Lincoln and Douglas had no moderators at all, but it may be wise to have one moderator who at least keeps time and turns microphones on and off appropriately but has no control over the substance of the debate.

Centuries ago that little witch Linsey Davis might have been burned at the stake. We don't do that any more. In these times, being "cancelled" is about the only solution to such fakers, but that is done by the far left, and they will not do it to their own. Probably the best solution is for the new Trump administration to freeze out this dishonest network by denying them press credentials for any press conference conducted by the new admininstration. Let them stew in their own juices for what they have done. PUnish the whole network, because the whole network was involved.

Biden-Harris no longer even asking asylum questions of migrants; just let them in
