“Moderators have a responsibility to fact-check candidates, especially when misinformation is spread,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement. “David Muir and Linsey Davis performed their duties professionally and impartially, as they always do.”
However, Owens and her supporters weren’t buying it. They argue that the media’s idea of “fact-checking” has become synonymous with attacking conservative viewpoints while giving liberal candidates a free pass.
“What they call ‘fact-checking’ is really just interrupting one side and letting the other slide,” Owens said during a guest appearance on a conservative podcast. “If you’re going to fact-check, do it equally. Don’t pretend you’re being neutral when everyone can see you’re playing favorites.”
Her comments have sparked broader discussions about the role of debate moderators and the fine line they must walk between holding candidates accountable and appearing biased. While some agree that Muir and Davis may have been too aggressive with Trump, others argue that fact-checking is crucial in today’s media landscape, especially when misinformation can spread quickly online.
