The moderators of the first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia Tuesday night are getting their fair share of criticism after injecting themselves into the conversation.
Trump surrogates and Trump himself argue it was a 3-1 debate as ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis repeatedly "fact checked" his statements while allowing Harris to run free with a number of wildly false and previously debunked claims.
But the conflict doesn't stop with the moderators. Disney executive Dana Walden, who also oversees ABC News, is close to Harris and introduced her to Doug Emhoff -- her husband and the Second Gentleman. From the New York Times:
"ABC News, the host of next month’s high-stakes presidential debate, falls under the purview of a top corporate executive at Disney who happens to be longtime friends with the Democratic nominee.
