PBS News Relished Debate’s Dubious Fact Checks on ‘Defensive’ Trump

The PBS News Hour relished the presidential debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, who they believe was fact-checked into oblivion and succumbed to Harris’s baiting tactics.

Co-anchor Geoff Bennett loved that “the former president was repeatedly fact-checked for inaccuracies” by ABC News’s hopelessly hostile moderators, before throwing the story to Harris campaign reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. After relaying the Trump-Harris debate’s back and forth over the economy and Harris’s closeness to Biden, PBS ran clips of Harris having successfully “baited Trump” over what the reporter called Trump’s “fondness of dictators” and crowd size at his rallies. to needling Trump about the crowd size at his rallies.
