[Fat is a type of crazy]

Saturday Night Love is mainly disappointing now. You could see them thinking what did people say about Kamala, Trump, etc and lets put in a comment about that but it was barely humorous or telling or insightful. The Trump guy is well done and Dana Carvey has done a good Biden for some time but that's about it as far as I am concerned.

Thanks for your take on the situation.

My take: The optics of “Duh” was the most obvious and subtle way of telling the world the truth, Of Dem Bias.

Somehow, I find it entirely unsurprising that some Trump supporters here think mocking comedy about a current affairs topic (ABC's handling of the debate) somehow translates into reality (which it doesn't).

 

For my part, I'd call the ABC debate a good day (night) for quality journalism and that increasingly rare quality in U.S. political discourse -- the truth.

 

ABC debate moderators live fact-checked Trump’s false claims from the stage

New York (CNN)  — ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-checked Donald Trump during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, quickly correcting the record for millions watching at home after the Republican pushed falsehoods on abortion, migrants and the 2020 election. [emphasis added]

...

Following the debate, CNN’s Daniel Dale reported Trump made at least 33 false claims during the debate, compared with one from Harris.

 

“This was a staggeringly dishonest debate performance from Trump. Just lie after lie on subject after subject,” Dale said. [emphasis added]

By Fact-Checking Trump, ABC News Changed the Format of Presidential Debates

Analysis: David Muir, Linsey Davis injected real-time corrections into a format that is rapidly evolving amid an era of polarized politics and eroding traditions.

It’s official: TV-news anchors can fact-check presidential candidates during a national debate.

 

In an era when news outlets have been loath to make themselves the target of invective from partisans, ABC News on Tuesday night opted to allow moderators in a broadcast of a presidential debate to correct the participating candidates — mostly former President Donald Trump — in real time, an element often missing from such events. ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis often gave in to Trump’s demand for more time to respond to Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments, but they also stopped him short by telling him in no uncertain terms that some of the stuff he was peddling — rants about babies being killed after delivery and immigrants in Ohio eating animals — were pure hogwash.

And one of the more important facts pertaining to all this is -- AFAIK, none of the fact checking details that the ABC moderators presented to Trump during the debate have been proven in retrospect to be wrong, whereas in Trump's case, he continues to set new lows almost daily for a wide range of claims that continue to be shown by numerous sources as being false, misleading and plain bogus.

 

ABC's different from tradition handling of the recent presidential candidates debate was a necessary but sad reflection of just how far divorced from reality, facts and truth Trump and his campaign have become.

It is a comedy show that has parodied current events for 50 years, jeez 

 

I know Brits don’t do sarcasm or irony but  why don't you right wingers check out South Park for more salient insights.

No shortage of stupidity in the modern age of the internet.

This is just more Trump apologists playing the blame game. Trump is always the victim. If he felt like he won that debate then he would've been praising ABC. He's so predictable though. Always losing. Nobody does it better than he.
