Why People Think ABC News Could Get Banned After Debate

As a seasoned gamer who’s seen his fair share of battles between formidable opponents, I must say that the latest political debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was a spectacle to behold – a real-life chess match with high stakes. The allegations against ABC News for supposedly favoring one candidate over the other are reminiscent of a game where the referee is suspiciously biased, making it hard to appreciate the skill showcased by both players.


The intense debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for the presidency, which transpired on Tuesday, caused quite a stir across the nation. Shortly thereafter, Trump launched a series of sharp criticisms towards ABC Network, alleging that they had been unjust in their coverage. The co-moderators of this debate, David Muir and Linsey Davis, have faced heavy criticism for their biased fact-checking during the event. As numerous political analysts highlight the debate’s unfairness, people on the internet are left pondering whether ABC News might face a ban in the near future.

Here is everything we know about the criticism that ABC News is facing after the debate.

Will ABC News get banned after latest debate?

It seems unlikely that ABC News will get banned in the near future.

Nevertheless, the network is receiving backlash due to accusations that it manipulated the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in favor of Harris. Previously, former President Donald Trump accused ABC News of bias towards his adversary, Harris, during the debate. Additionally, co-moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis are under scrutiny for their supposedly biased fact-checking, which primarily focused on Trump.

In response to the criticism, Trump suggested that ABC News could face revocation of their broadcasting license, stating during an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning after the debate, “Frankly, ABC took a pretty big hit last night. To be honest, they are a news organization that requires a license – they should lose it for how they handled things.

Trump frequently criticized ABC News moderators for persistently fact-checking him while not doing the same for Kamala Harris during their debate. Additionally, ABC News’ former political director Mark Halperin openly expressed disappointment in the network’s handling of the event, labeling it as “the most significant oversight of the night.

During a broadcast on 2WAY, Halperin expressed, “One news outlet had agreed to stay by her side until Election Day, ready to safeguard her at any cost. Moreover, in the debate coverage that was unbalanced to the point of being amusing, there was no acknowledgement that it was asininely lopsided.

Much like Megyn Kelly, who previously moderated presidential debates, expressed similar feelings in a post. She wrote, “These moderators fell short dismally and this debate was extremely biased and unfair. It’s shameful, @ABC.

As a dedicated fan, I’m eagerly waiting to see how ABC News will tackle these recent allegations. Interestingly enough, it appears that ABC has chosen not to terminate David Muir and Linsey Davis, the moderators at the heart of the issue.
