'ABC News anchor Linsey Davis revealed in a post-debate Los Angeles
Times puff-piece profile how she, ABC World News Tonight anchor David
Muir and ABC producers schemed to ambush President Trump with ‘fact
checks’ at Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia with
Kamala Harris after watching Trump crush and knock Joe Biden out of the
race in their June debate.

The fact checking at the debate was one-sided, with Trump being
interrupted by Muir and Davis several times with ‘fact checks’ while
Harris was not ‘fact checked’ once.

Going into the debate, there was concern about Harris’ friendship with a
Disney executive who oversees the ABC News division (NY Post excerpt):

Dana Walden, a senior Disney executive whose portfolio includes ABC
News, is one of Vice President Kamala Harris’ “extraordinary friends,”
according to a report in the New York Times.

Walden and Harris have known each other since 1994, while their
husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff, have known each other since the
1980s.

Dana Walden has donated to dozens of Democrats and contributed to
Harris’ political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for
district attorney in San Francisco.

She went on to donate to her subsequent campaigns for California
attorney general and US Senate, as well as her 2020 White House bid.

Harris even credited Dana and Matt for her marriage at a fundraiser in
April 2022, which was held at Walden’s home in Los Angeles.

ABC told the New York Times that Walden, who is Disney’s highest-ranking
television executive, does not weigh in on editorial decisions.

After the debate it was revealed that ABC did not disclose that Davis is
an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sister of Harris.

Davis went viral for a ‘fact check’ of Trump on abortion, where she
falsely claimed it is illegal to kill babies after they are born and
then abruptly turned to Harris for a reply without giving Trump the
courtesy of a chance to respond.

In actuality, babies who survive abortions in the home state of Harris’
vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), are
allowed to be left to die without lifesaving care–thanks to Walz.

The comments by then Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) referenced by
Trump:

The day after the debate, Davis proudly gushed to the Los Angeles Times
how the scheme to ambush Trump was put in action (excerpt):

....Davis, wearing pink glasses while speaking to The Times over
breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to
attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN
debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to
his exit from the race.

“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not
[be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,”
Davis said.

Muir and Davis divided up the topics to study, and Davis fully
anticipated that Trump’s erroneous abortion claim would come up when she
questioned him on the issue.

“That was an obvious thing to get on the record,” Davis said.

In the weeks before the debate, various scenarios were played out in
table read-like settings where the anchors and ABC News producers tested
their questions and played out the possible responses.

Trump sharply criticized the ABC moderators in remarks at a rally in
Tucson, Arizona on Thursday, reported The Hill (excerpt):

Trump held an event in Tucson, Ariz., where his campaign said he would
deliver remarks focused on the economy and rising costs. He spent the
first 15 minutes recapping his Tuesday debate with Harris and repeatedly
targeted ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, at one point
calling for the two to be fired.

“The public was not fooled. They saw right through it, Kamala’s lies and
unprecedented partisan interference of two low-life anchors. They’re low
lives,” Trump said, bemoaning that the moderators fact-checked a few of
his inaccurate statements but didn’t do the same for Harris.

“These two people were bad news. They kept screaming at me,” Trump
added.

Trump called Davis, who is Black, “nasty” and claimed she looked at the
former president “with hatred in her eyes.”

The former president was kinder to Muir.

“I always liked him,” he said of the “World News Tonight” anchor. “I’m
not going to watch him anymore. Because he’s not legit … And his hair is
not as good as it used to be.

It was obvious to anyone with a functioning braincell that the debate
was a fixed farce.
