Instead of debating last night, 74-year-old President Donald Trump and 77-year-old former Vice President and Democrat nominee Joe Biden held dueling town hall meetings exposing for all to see the fake news media. When Trump took the stage in Miami, he was treated to NBC’s Savannah Guthrie who proceeded to ambush him with a series of left wing talking points. Biden, on the other hand, greeted ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, stepping into a warm Jacuzzi of softball questions, showing the stark contrast the fake news media gives to either candidate. Let there be no mistake, the news media has an ax to grind in the 2020 race putting their credibility on the line to get Biden elected. With a bombshell report in the New York Post about newly discovered emails between Hunter and Burisma Holdings businessman Vadym Pozharskyi, showing that Joe met with Pozharskyi, not one question.
No, Stephanopoulos spent the entire 90 minuets on nothing controversial, the closest thing being what would Joe pack the Supreme Court. But the venerable New York Post has carefully researched story implicated Joe in egregious corruption while Vice President, it’s completely ignored. Watching Guthrie, in contrast, grill Trump on old stories like failing to disavow white supremacy, accepting the election outcome or his stance on climate change, showed how NBC News sought to sabotage Trump. Trump handled Guthrie with aplomb, making her look like a pugnacious sophomore, focusing only on Democrat talking points. Guthrie slammed Trump for his Supreme Court pick, threatening Roe v. Wad and the Affordable Care Act AKA Obamacare, hitting Trump with worn out Democrat talking points. Biden sat back and listened to Stephanopoulos stroke his old tired ego.
When the politically biased Commission on Presidential Debates changed the format to Zoom Conferencing Oct 8, Trump refused to play along, saying he would not participate. Settling on dueling town hall meetings, Trump knew he was walking into an ambush, with Guthrie going after him like she was his debate opponent. Guthrie looked foolish going toe-to-toe with Trump, exposing to a national audience the egregious political bias against Trump. When Trump debated Biden Sept. 29 in Cleveland, he faced Fox News moderator Chris Wallace, another well know Trump critic. So, truth be told, there’s no safe place in the broadcast or print media for Trump, with even Fox News setting him up. Trump commented during the debate he was debating two-against-one, with Wallace going after Trump. Stephanouplos let Biden focus on key Democrat talking points: Covid-19 and racism.
Guthrie’s revolting bias against Trump had to offend fair-minded voters helping Trump make a comeback in the last weeks of the campaign. Voters saw first hand that the media ‘s bias against Trump, looking for anyway to sabotage his campaign. Guthrie said nothing when Trump raised the four-year media hoax that Trump colluded with Russia. Guthrie hammered Trump on fake news saying Trump would not accept the outcome of the election. When, in fact, it was former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton who told Biden publicly Aug. 26 that “he should not concede under any circumstances.” Guthrie doesn’t bring that up only more fake news that Trump wouldn’t concede it he loses. Guthrie and her network accused Trump of threatening to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller for two years before he issued his Final Report March 23, 2019, clearing Trump of Russian collusion.
While Biden was giving barely coherent platitudes about race in America, Trump was hammered by Guthrie about QAnon, a conspiracy group that reportedly opposes pedophilia but somehow supports Trump. Guthrie didn’t like it when Trump said he knew nothing about them. Guthrie couldn’t wait to ht Trump with an unverified New York Times report that he paid only $750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017, holding $421 million in debt. “The amount of the money, $400 million, is a peanut. It’s extremely underleveraged. And it’s under leveraged with normal banks,” Trump told Guthrie, drawing a grown. Democrat talking points hold that Trump’s on the verge of another bankruptcy, another fake news story. Guthrie finally got to some audience questions, the whole purpose of a town hall meeting. Even then she selected people largely against Trump’s reelection.
When you consider that Trump and Biden have another debate coming up on Oct. 20, it makes you wonder why go through it. Debate moderators like Wallace, Guthrie and Stephaopoulos are so anti-Trump, what’s the point of another debate? Even so called nonpartisan CSPAN had their long-time anchor Steve Scully resign, admitting he lied about having his computer hacked. If the Commission on Presidential Debates and today’s journalism says anything, it’s that U.S. journalism is hopeless overrun by Democrat Party operatives. When it comes to the media’s narrative on Biden, he didn’t make a major gaffe, largely because Stephanoupolos asked him almost nothing significant. How low have expectations gone for Biden gone when they assess his performance as not making a major gaffe? Given today’s media, there’s absolutely no reason to hold another debate.
