Three Hoaxes to Watch for in Thursday Night’s DebateWendell Husebø 27 Jun 2024
CNN’s presidential debate rules are set for Thursday night as President Joe Biden looks to eviscerate his opponent by potentially raising debunked hoaxes.
CNN opposes debate moderators live fact-checking Biden during the high-stakes event, network political director David Chalian announced this week.
Neither are the moderators permitted to fact-check fTrump, Chalian said, although they can correct an “egregious” misstatement “that needs to be checked or the record needs to be made clear.”
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, two extreme Trump critics, are the moderators. It will be up to them to referee the contentious and potentially highest-watched debate in history.
Critics question whether Tapper and Bash can host an unbiased and fair debate. CNN believes they will, though the network’s history of covering Trump earned them the Trumpian-given name: “fake news.”
Biden has a history of pushing falsehoods during debates.
Those falsehoods, perhaps not immediately apparent, were debunked years later. The most recent example came in June when an FBI agent testified that Hunter Biden’s laptop was real and not Russian disinformation, as Biden suggested during the 2020 debate.
