Maybe I missed that bit of the news cycle but when was Kamala acting like she didn't want a debate? I remember her being hesitant about the rules Trump was demanding at first, but that's about it.
Back when she refused to do the Fox News debate

You're literally using an example of Kamala not letting Trump weasel out of a scheduled debate as evidence of Kamala trying to weasel out of a debate.
You're either a troll or genuinely that stupid. Which one is it?
I'm just stupid
Based.
lel
Nah but seriously though I was just plain wrong, Kamala had agreed to the ABC News debate at the same time that she decline the other two invitations. I edited my comment to reflect that
I’m proud of you for being able to recognize and acknowledge you were wrong. Growth can be painful but always worthwhile.
Read the first paragraph of the article. He was trying to dodge the ABC debate and instead have it on Fox. Obviously Kamala would not want to have the debate run by a company heavily biased towards her opponent.
So now you see why Trump didn't want to do the ABC debate
It's not that they're biased against Trump, it's REALITY that's biased against him. He's a demented psychopath.
I downvoted you because ABC was going to do better journalism work than Fox would, which is why Trump didn’t want to do it. The three fact checks (which weren’t enough imo) are proof of why he didn’t want to do it. He’s an idiot and literally parroted the exact same shit he says everywhere for the last few years. At least Kamala told me something new about housing plans and abortion and where she stands/plans to do.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/abc-news/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news-bias/ These organizations are on very different levels of bias and credibility.
Furthermore, the ABC debate was already agreed to and scheduled. Why on earth would Harris agree to change the debate to a host known for spreading misinformation with an extreme right wing bias?
Trump chose to agree to this debate. He doesnt get to change the agreement after.
Good bot.
weird
Which of the fact checks do you think were unfair?
A couple of them I didn't like, the big one being where David Muir debated Trump about the 2020 election cases and Trump actually ended up fact checking David on that, he had no rebuttal (although Trump doesn't seem to understand exactly what it means to "have standing").
But it's less about the fact checks and more about the fact that they chose to only fact check one person's lies. Kamala Harris lied through her teeth during the debate and nobody fact checked her. I personally would prefer to not have fact checks in these debates at all, as the debates are only supposed to be between two people. But if there are going to be fact checks, those should be applied to both candidates.
Considering that Trump got fact checked only a couple of times and that Trump himself got an unfair treatment where he was given the chance to rebuttal every single time he wanted, I will say that you have given a biased answer. I am still going to say that Trump did, indeed, lie about the election being fraudulent. Given that, let's see how each of those court cases were ruled!
Idk man, it really looks like that EVEN THE CASES THAT WERE DISMISSED TO LACK OF STANDING were reviewed and found not credible for so, so, so many reasons.
This is really just a summary that will pertain to most cases. https://electioncases.osu.edu/case-tracker/?sortby=filing_date_desc&keywords=&status=all&state=all&topic=25 is a collection of all the cases, so you can see them all!
So disingenuous.
Edit: just read the replies... Guess it wasn't intentional.
Maybe because Fox "News" is legally NOT a news organization but instead an entertainment organization. That's not the place to have political debates, and presidential candidates shouldn't be pushing to have debates for "entertainment" in the first place.
Fox isn't a news company. They are far right propaganda. Just like you in this entire thread.
