Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to participate in a debate with President Biden this Thursday, facing not only his political opponent but also moderators known for their biased views on the matter. The moderators have a history of openly criticizing Trump on various issues such as election interference, Russian collusion, and even comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
During a recent appearance on CNN’s morning show, Trump’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, raised concerns about the lack of impartiality of the debate moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. This led to a tense moment when CNN’s Kasie Hunt interrupted Leavitt after she made disparaging remarks about Tapper and Bash instead of addressing a question about Trump’s debate strategy.
The upcoming presidential debate, hosted by Tapper and Bash, has sparked controversy due to their past comments equating Trump’s presidency to a “national nightmare” and comparing his language to that of Hitler. Tapper has been particularly critical of Trump, referring to him as a “desperate electoral loser” and accusing him of spreading Russian propaganda.
The debate, scheduled for Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, will see Tapper and Bash posing questions to both Trump and President Biden. Their history of biased commentary has raised concerns about the fairness and objectivity of the event.

Trump will debate Biden but will the moderators be unbiased? Opinionated? Seems to me CNN should replace these two Biden apologists and find someone, anyone who can be a true journalist and return to the art of being another check on government NOT a media arm of a political…
