In a scathing memo that was somehow both formal and dripping with disdain, ABC explained its decision to terminate Muir and Davis: “Moderators are meant to guide the debate, not embarrass candidates by calling out falsehoods. The American public deserves to hear both sides—truth and fiction—without interference. David Muir and Linsey Davis crossed a line when they decided to turn their role as moderators into that of participant, and that is simply unacceptable.”
The memo continued: “Fact-checking in real-time creates an unfair advantage for the truth, and that is not what we stand for at ABC.”
The news, of course, sent shockwaves through the journalistic community. After all, Muir and Davis were widely regarded as two of the most respected faces in American journalism. But ABC’s decision was clear: Truth-telling has no place in the chaotic world of presidential debates.
