ABC’s David Muir has suffered a tremendous drop in ratings after his “controversial” moderation performance at the Donald Trump Kamala Harris debate. “World News Tonight with David Muir has seen a drop of nearly one million viewers after a 12% decrease in viewership. This could be a direct result of the clear bias shown against Trump and for Kamala by Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis. The bias was obvious, and no attempt was made to conceal it. There were at least four “official” fact-checks on Trump during the debate, while Kamala was not fact-checked at all. Reports state that fact-checking preparation was done for Trump but not for Kamala.
