As the 2024 US Presidential election approaches, the establishment media’s blatant disregard for fairness and impartiality is becoming increasingly evident. The decision to hold the debates under President Joe Biden’s rules is not only controversial but also a perilous move for the presumptive GOP nominee, former President Donald Trump. With his impressive stage presence, Trump could easily outshine a faltering Biden. However, agreeing to these terms exposes Trump to significant risk, especially considering who will be moderating.

The first debate is scheduled on CNN, a network notorious for its prejudice against Trump. Venturing into hostile territory is already risky, but the danger escalates when you consider the debate hosts: CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Both candidates have consented to the rules and format of the debate as outlined in letters sent by the network in May.

Per the network’s news release, the debate will last 90 minutes with two commercial breaks and podium positions decided by a coin toss. Notably, the microphones will be muted throughout the debate, except when it’s a candidate’s turn to speak – a decision made by the moderators that grants them significant control over the discussion.

There’s more – while props or pre-written notes are prohibited on stage, candidates will receive a pen, pad of paper, and a bottle of water. These minor details may appear trivial to many, but when combined with Tapper’s role as moderator, they become worrisome.

Tapper’s reaction post-Biden’s victory in the 2020 election has resurfaced and questions his ability to moderate fairly. On November 7, 2020, Tapper stated, “Most tragically, of course, the unwillingness to respect facts and science and do everything that could be done to save lives during a pandemic,” in reference to Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also described the past four years as “a time of cruelty and official inhumanity” and a “long national nightmare” for millions of Americans.

These remarks from the man who will be controlling the microphones and posing the questions during the debate reveal an undeniable bias against Trump. It’s alarming that someone who has publicly expressed such contempt for the former president will play a significant role in one of the most crucial events of the 2024 campaign.

Moreover, Tapper’s conduct during Trump’s presidency, when CNN resembled a wrestling ring for liberal politics, further questions his ability to moderate objectively. Regardless of any potential shifts in the network’s bias, Tapper remains the same person who willingly made those comments and displayed his prejudice towards Trump.

It’s difficult to trust that a man claiming impartiality and fairness can objectively moderate this debate. This choice only underscores the establishment media’s unearned demand for respect and credibility.

Trump’s decision to participate in a debate moderated by Tapper and Bash exposes him to a potentially rigged and unfair event. It serves as a reminder of the establishment media’s deep-seated disdain for fairness and objectivity, and their relentless efforts to discredit Trump. This is a high-stakes game for Trump, with potential consequences he must be prepared for. If not handled carefully, it could turn into one of the biggest rigged debacles in recent political history, a risk Trump may regret.
