Debates

How worried were Democrats that Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R) was going to mop the floor with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) in the vice presidential debate Tuesday night? Well, in the run up to the event, CNN’s Democrats were seriously arguing that a Vance win would actually be a bad thing because he would come off as “predatory,” while Walz would be “constrained by his desire to be a unifier…

The following are the most egregious examples of leftist journalists and celebrities eviscerating J.D. Vance while whipping up excitement for Tim Walz since the two VP candidates were nominated. 

Univision is broadcasting presidential town halls with both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, to be moderated by Enrique Acevedo. An English-language feed will be made available on YouTube, however, we believe an event of this magnitude should be made available over the air, and accessible to as many viewers as possible.

Our analysis of CBS’s evening news campaign coverage suggests tomorrow’s vice presidential debate will likely be a friendly venue for the Democrat Tim Walz, and far more hostile to Republican JD Vance.

When CNN’s Dana Bash interviewed the Democratic presidential ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in August, we had 30 questions that we thought Bash should ask. Ultimately, she would only ask five, two of which—why he claimed to carry a weapon “in war” when he never did and why he said his wife used IV when she did not—were directed to Walz. Additionally, Bash asked him about misrepresenting…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expressed what could be considered a form of buyer's remorse over the Dems' defenestration of Biden and his replacement by Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket. Commenting on a number of swing state polls that show Trump with a narrow lead or tied with Harris, Scarborough said: "This election is tied. I will say, I'm almost getting the feeling, I don'…

The following are just a few of the most obnoxious left-wing or anti-conservative outbursts from CBS VP debate moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan via the MRC’s archives:

It’s been more than two months since Vice President Kamala Harris was deeded the Democratic presidential nomination. During that time, she has not held a news conference or sat with many mainstream journalists to answer serious questions about how she would lead the country and who she would choose as her advisers. On Saturday, riding high on her first debate win against Trump, Harris accepted…

The debate tone was set with the first question. Debate co-moderator David Muir, ABC’s news managing editor, asked Vice President Kamala Harris: “I want to begin tonight with the issue voters repeatedly say is their No. 1 issue ... When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”

Just as it was when Hillary let "deplorables" slip in 2016, so it was with Michael Steele today, co-host of The Weekend on MSNBC.  After playing a clip of Trump suggesting that Kamala Harris might have been given the debate questions in advance, and had something in her ear transmitting instructions, Steele said: "I play that because, to the Vice President's point, this man is unserious. So,…

It wasn’t a hard call. At this point in the history of televised debates, a history that began with the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates ( 64 years ago!!) and has continued on with a seemingly endless stream of both Republican vs. Democrat nominee debates plus Republican vs. Republican and Democrat vs. Democrat nomination debates, one would think ABC would have learned a thing or two.

Sitting in on Friday for host and NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham, Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I dove into an absurd Los Angeles Times profile celebrating ABC’s debate co-moderator Linsey Davis for, along with co-moderator David Muir, interjecting for so-called fact-checks of Donald Trump. 

The blog criticizes the Seattle Times for downplaying former President Donald Trump's debate claim that a significant part of downtown Seattle was overtaken by CHOP protesters. Trump referenced the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone, which occupied six city blocks, a park, and a police precinct in Seattle. The post mocks the Times' focus on whether this area was "big" and highlights…

Using a string of boxing metaphors including "no mas" and "knocked down," Morning Joe mocks Donald Trump's debate performance and his decision not to do a second debate with Kamala Harris.
