The verdict is in: ABC’s utterly biased “moderation” effort at the Trump-Harris debate is killing ratings.
David Muir, of “World News Tonight,” saw his program lose almost a million viewers per night after his in-kind campaign contribution to VP Kamala Harris — a 12% drop.
No surprise: Muir and co-conspirator Linsey Davis gave a debate-night masterclass in partisan hackery, devoting their “fact checks” entirely to Trump and letting Harris slide repeatedly on glaring falsehoods.
Heck, Muir and Davis were so in the tank for Harris that their own network even called them out post-debate for giving zero pushback on her insane claim that no US troops on active duty are in combat zones around the world.
But that was just the start.

They let Harris lie about Trump’s affiliation with Project 2025, about Trump demanding the execution of the Central Park Five, about live births resulting from failed abortions.
She even repeated the lie that Trump praised white supremacist marchers as “fine people,” such total BS that pro-Dem disinformation outlet Snopes recently admitted it was fake.
And the moderators let it all pass unchallenged.
Funny how the vast media fact-checking apparatus is always more than happy to let Democrats slide again and again and again.
That’s true in everyday coverage and in high-stakes moments like this, with clear consequences on the decisions voters make.
Remember the desperate efforts of the media to spread the lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake: How many votes for Joe did that swing?
What Muir and Davis did was literally no different — it’s the kind of “election interference” their shrill colleagues across the media and in Congress are always screaming about.
But people are waking up, as Muir’s number-drop shows.
And they don’t want “narratives” or “important context”: They want the truth.
Too bad for America that so many journos no longer do.
