Dave Smith: ABC’s Moderators ‘Were Playing Fact-Checker, But Exclusively with Donald Trump All Night’
EXCERPT:
SMITH: "I've got say a word about the moderating, where it is -- look, it's a given -- anybody who pays attention over the last eight years should know, it's a given that any of the corporate media hacks who moderate these debates are obviously going to have an anti-Trump bias. That goes without saying. That's always the case. Last night's debate was by far the most egregious version of that that I've ever seen. It was -- it really was a three-on-one debate where the moderators were not only in the framing of their questions, where half the questions were like, now, Donald Trump, people tend to feel like you're a piece of sh*t. What do you think? Why are you such a piece of sh*t? They'd be like, OK, Kamala Harris, why do you think Donald Trump's such a piece of sh*t? Not only was it questions like this, but they were doing something that moderators tend not to do. Usually, there's occasional isolated incidents of this, and it's been controversial in the few instances that moderators have ever tried to play fact-checker, but they were playing fact-checker, but exclusively with Donald Trump, all night. And Kamala Harris -- well, we could get into this -- she threw out some pretty fat lies, not a word, not a word from the moderators.”
