Stats Reveal ABC's Bias Against Trump During Harris Debate

Newly revealed statistics involving various facets of Tuesday night’s debate between former President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris show exactly how biased the ABC moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, actually were.

An analysis of the transcript shows that the moderators tried to fact-check Trump multiple times but did not do the same for Harris.

Additionally, they repeated questions to Trump while not exerting the same pressure on the vice president.

Ryan Saavedra, a senior reporter at The Daily Wire, posted the stats to his X page: “Went through the debate transcript and counted: Trump was fact-checked 4 times Harris was fact-checked 0 times — Muir/Davis pressed Trump 6 times for follow-ups Muir/Davis pressed Harris 0 times for follow-ups — Trump made ~14 false statements Harris made ~16 false statements.”

Here’s his X post:

Several people responded to Saavedra’s post with mocking and derision for the moderators and ABC in general.

“Very interesting would love to see a comprehensive analysis on all these laid out for the public before I share information like this because if true it is very important the people understand that the media of ABC news can not be trusted for equality of opinion,” one user wrote.

“I’m pretty sure Trump was asked to move on before his time was up and Kamala was permitted to go on as long as she wished also. Let’s also not exclude the choice of questions, none of which were remotely hot-seating Kamala,” said another.

“I don’t think Trump should agree to another rigged debate,” one more noted.
