On Friday, Fox News host Harris Faulkner remarked that Vice President Kamala Harris’ falsehoods during the debate with former President Donald Trump were so apparent that she could verify the Democratic presidential nominee’s statements from memory.
ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis faced backlash for their frequent interruptions of Trump throughout the debate, as well as for providing what they termed “fact checks” in response to his comments. Faulkner criticized the moderators for failing to fact-check when the vice president misrepresented Trump’s stance on in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
“When you switch to a broadcast network, they have a self-imposed journalistic integrity standard that they’re trying to uphold because they’re on the broadcast airwaves, they need to fact check more than I think something like the debate commission has typically done,” Brad Howard, a former Democratic aide on Capitol Hill, claimed.
“Why didn’t they do it for her?” Faulkner responded, with Howard claiming that Muir asked Harris about her changes in position on gun control and hydraulic fracturing or “fracking.”
