NewsBusters Podcast

Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro dove into an absurd Los Angeles Times profile celebrating ABC’s debate co-moderator Linsey Davis for, along with co-moderator David Muir, interjecting for so-called fact-checks of Donald Trump. The paper admitted they did so to avoid the blowback that CNN did after the June 27 debate with Trump and Joe Biden. It even said Davis’s false smear of Trump on abortion was “the showstopper” of the night. Later, the fellas also discussed this week’s zaniness from The View and dove into the latest on CNN’s defamation lawsuit.
