Infowars’ presidential debate coverage is NOW LIVE! Tune in below:
CNN has further confirmed the public’s suspicions that the network will tip the scales in favor of Joe Biden during the presidential debate.
CNN’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Thursday explained that the network won’t let the “responsibility” of fact-checking former President Trump during the debate “fall to Biden”, so moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will step in to challenge Trump on Biden’s behalf.
CNN, the compost outlet hosting the debate, where both moderators Jake Tapper & Dana Bash work, says it’s their job to not let the “responsibility” of disproving Trump “fall to Biden,” because “placing it entirely on him” would let the public make up their own mind about truth. https://t.co/Pm06ODUaQq pic.twitter.com/zBFgUDU7UE

From CNN:
While CNN has said it will not fact-check the candidate’s claims in real time, Trump’s propensity to spread dangerous lies and corrosive conspiracy theories will put some onus on Tapper and Bash to make sure the Republican does not abuse the platform to peddle some of his favorite dishonest talking points.
While much of that responsibility will fall to Biden, placing it entirely on him would create a dynamic in which there is no baseline truth on matters of enormous significance such as the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
In cases of fact versus fiction on critical matters, a he-said, he-said dynamic would not serve the CNN audience well. CNN will need to account for that.
Additionally, CNN reportedly will implement a 1-2 minute delay during the debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, presumably to allow time to edit parts of the broadcast that may be unfavorable to Biden, such as a brain freeze or other embarrassing gaffe.
CNN wants the opportunity to edit out any Biden incidents that look like he is having a dementia moment.

These parameters are of course in addition to CNN’s condition of muting the mic of the candidate who is not slated to speak.
Trump this week already said he’s prepared for a 3-to-1 debate against Biden, Tapper and Bash.
“You know, they offered me this debate, and they thought I wouldn’t take it because it’s on CNN. It’s Fake Tapper. They thought I wouldn’t accept because it’s on CNN, and Dana Bash is very tough on Trump,” he said earlier this month at a Turning Point Action convention.
Trump in a campaign ad released Thursday also highlighted Biden’s propensity to parrot thoroughly debunked talking points, like the “very fine people” hoax, Trump’s “bloodbath” remarks, and lies about his own political work.

It remains to be seen if CNN will fact-check Biden if he pushes these lies during the debate.
It’s not likely given even Mark Penn, the former campaign adviser for Bill Clinton, admitted Tapper and Bash are keen to “take Trump down.”
“I think the moderators’ objective is probably to take Trump down. You can’t really be a CNN moderator and ‘let Trump off the hook,’” he said Tuesday.
