Biden Takes Question From Press About Upcoming Debate
The Democratic debates are fast approaching, and details are being revealed about the upcoming events. However, as information comes out, it seems the playing field may be tilted in favor of President Joe Biden.
CNN has announced that Dana Bash and Jake Tapper will be moderating the first Democratic debate. Both are well-known journalists who have been vocal critics of President Trump. This raises questions about the fairness and impartiality of the debate, given CNN’s perceived anti-Trump stance. Many wonder how a debate can be fair with moderators who appear to have clear political biases.
ABC is hosting the second Democratic debate, and they have chosen David Muir and Linsey Davis as moderators. Like Bash and Tapper, both Muir and Davis have also been critical of President Trump in the past. This choice of moderators suggests that Biden might be receiving preferential treatment with these selections.
It’s not going to be a debate between Trump and Biden.

But the debates might not go as smoothly for Biden as planned. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that he meets all the requirements to be on the debate stage, according to CNN’s terms. This presents a challenge for Biden: should he avoid the debate altogether, or face Kennedy on stage?
Biden’s willingness to debate has come into question. He recently backed out of a third debate offered by Fox. When reporters asked him about it, he seemed nervous and unprepared. This raises concerns about his ability to handle the pressures of a presidential debate.
In the White House the press attempted to ask Biden questions about the debate the President got real nasty and his stafff threw them out of the room.

DEBATE: Biden’s debate challenge to Trump came with fine print:
• No live audience
• RFK Jr. is banned
• Trump’s mic is muted when Biden speaks
• Only hosted by NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, or CBS
• Moderated by Democrat-aligned reporter pic.twitter.com/ST4ZKTcMFA— @amuse (@amuse) May 15, 2024
There is also concern about potential bias and unfairness in the debates. With moderators known for their criticism of President Trump, and some even promoting Biden’s campaign merchandise, the impartiality of the debates is in doubt. Rules should be established to ensure debates are fair and free from manipulation or bias, to maintain their integrity.
Despite these concerns, there is a belief that the biased media might still spin the debates in Biden’s favor, even if he makes mistakes. It appears that the media may go to great lengths to promote their preferred candidate.
The American people deserve fair and impartial debates, not ones designed to boost one candidate over another. It’s crucial for the media to provide unbiased coverage, ensuring that the American people receive the information they need to make informed decisions.
