Are Tapper and Bash Fit to Moderate the Presidential Debate?
The only thing worse than having Judge Juan Merchan and DA Alvin Bragg preside over your trial may be having Jake Tapper and Dana Bash moderate your debate. This is CNN. Upholding its proud lineage as the “Clinton News Network.” Corroborating our findings, as we near tomorrow’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the MRC team has painstakingly trawled through our world's largest TV news archive for quotes from CNN’s moderators about Trump and Biden dating back to 2015. Can Tapper and Bash be impartial? Our research suggests, in a word, NO! During the first 2020 presidential debate, the CNN duo showcased their 1st-degree Trump Derangement Syndrome. Tapper described the debate as a “hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck,” blaming President Trump. Bash echoed his sentiment, calling it a “sh**show.” On Election Night 2020, Tapper provided a nasty epitaph to Trump’s presidency: “For tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long national nightmare is over.” After Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address, Dana Bash was downright giddy, “He certainly met the moment … They wanted him to be a fighter and boy—fight—did he deliver.” In line with the Left's standard modus operandi, Tapper inserted a Third Reich reference before this year’s Iowa primary, “Leading this hour … the dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive and well on the national political stage … given life by Republican presidential front runner, Donald Trump.” There’s more. We’ve compiled the best of the worst of Tapper and Bash’s comments, supported with video evidence. Viewer discretion is advised.
What Graham will be watching for: How many times will the moderators interrupt Trump, and how many times do they stop Biden?”
