ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis delivered a downright disgusting performance during the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in September. The network had agreed that there would be no fact-checking and no interruptions, but the partisan duo did just that.
In fact, Trump has at least been fact-checked five timeswhile Harris could say whatever she wanted (much of it is lies).
RedState didn’t hold back with our thoughts on the tag team event:
Quiet part out raucous? ABC debate co-host makes insightful admission about why they fact-checked Trump
Candy Crowley is no longer the worst presidential debate moderator ever
RFK Jr. blasts Kamala, biased debate moderators; Says: “The party I grew up in no longer exists”
Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, in his most arrogant, smug tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong, but the mission had already been accomplished: they wanted to interrupt Trump’s flow and cast him into a supporting role that was unrelated to the argument he was making… and it they succeeded. If it were Kamala Harris using this tactic, that would have been fine – trying to trip him up – but for the supposedly unbiased neutral “moderators” to align themselves with Kamala was simply unethical.
Flashback: David Muir “checks” President Trump by saying FBI data shows violent crime is down.
Trump compared it to the downward revision of 818,000 jobs.
It turns out, once again, that Trump was right.

Of course, Trump was right and Muir was wrong. The FBI, whose reputation was already in tatters, has only humiliated themselves further by quietly releasing new statistics showing that this was not the 2.1 percent decline they reported, but an actual decline acted 4.5 percent enhance. Oops.
Bonchie from RedState: SURPRISE: The FBI just secretly overhauled its violent crime rate and blasted Democratic and press coverage
Yes. The crime rate went down highnot down.
But while Mr. Muir may be with him A $7 million home At Skaneateles Lake in New York, where he eagerly eats crow for dinner, has he apologized to Trump, to the American people, or to anyone? Accordingly Reportsthe cat has its tongue:
According to Grabien transcripts, Muir has not yet acknowledged the FBI’s statistic change on “World News Tonight.”
ABC News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
“Didn’t respond right away.” That means they’re cowering like cats in a rainstorm.
I wrote an article on Friday wondering why this election appears to be so close – even though a majority of voters report that they are worse off than they were four years ago. One of my conclusions: The lying mainstream media has played a huge role in dumbing down American voters.
…the mainstream media regularly lies to the American people and is essentially an arm of the Democratic Party. Despite the great progress we have made with conservative media, a enormous portion of people still rely on antiquated media and blindly absorb everything they are told. I know members of my own family who wouldn’t argue with the articles and facts we publish here at RedState – they would simply deny that those facts even exist. “I didn’t see that,” they said, as if that didn’t make it true.
Muir’s unnecessary interjection into a historic and potentially history-defining debate was appalling at the time, but this new information makes him and his network look even worse. It would be nice to see him do that, but manpower is something we don’t see too often from the Democratic Party/corporate media cabal these days.
Now, I don’t often praise Saturday Night Live, but their version of the cocky host had some entertaining moments (particularly early on, when Mr. “I’m So Handsome” mocks his obvious bias):
