How ABC’s Debate Moderators Showed Bias

Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump met for the first time this week in a 90-minute debate hosted by ABC News (digital news rated Lean Left).
Minutes in, the moderators showed bias against Trump, primarily by fact checking him and not Harris, even though both made false claims. It is possible Trump made more false claims than Harris overall — CNN (Lean Left bias) counted 33 false claims from Trump and one false claim from Harris, while Ryan Saavedra (Not Rated) of the Daily Wire (Right bias) counted 16 false claims from Harris and 14 from Trump — but it’s still notable that the moderators never fact checked Harris.
