Kamala Harris emerged victorious in the televised debate against Donald Trump, sparking protests from his supporters. It was argued that the biased moderators from the Abc network played a significant role in shaping the outcome. However, experts compared the scenario to a real soccer match, where the shortcomings of the losing side played as much of a role as the partiality of the referees.
As Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal summarized:
“Viewers hoping for a moment where Kamala Harris would finally have to answer for the disappointing Biden-Harris administration were left deeply disappointed. Mrs. Harris skillfully diverted the conversation away from direct questions, and neither the moderators nor Donald Trump pressed her on her omissions.”
The Abortion Issue
The abortion issue exemplifies the moderators’ bias and Trump’s lack of finesse.
According to Michael Goodwin from the New York Post:
“Regarding Trump’s responses, moderators repeatedly insisted he was wrong and offered what can only be termed corrections. They were clearly out of line and once again proved that traditional media cannot be trusted to act impartially.”
