GOP lawmakers and analysts virtually unanimous that Trump was second best to Harris in first presidential debate
Donald Trump’s campaign was in damage control mode on Wednesday amid widespread dismay among supporters over a presidential debate performance that saw Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, repeatedly goad him into going wildly off-message and missing apparent opportunities to tackle her on policy.
Even with Trump insisting to have won the debate “by a lot”, Republicans were virtually unanimous that Trump had come off second best in a series of exchanges that saw the vice-president deliberately bait him on his weak points while he responded with visible anger.
The Republican nominee – who took the unusual step afterwards of visiting the media spin room, a venue normally frequented only by candidates’ surrogates – was non-committal on Wednesday to the Harris campaign’s proposal for a second debate. Despite widespread opinion to the contrary, Trump suggested she needed it because she had lost. “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate,” he told Fox & Friends.
Oh geez… I don’t think they make those anymore… the best we can do is try to recognize the bias when we see it.
I did find a cool app recently, though. It’s called “ground news”. It attempts to show bias of news articles. Being left, right, or center. It is very useful, I would recommend it.
I did find this on ground news:
Articles that Harris wasn’t compelling have a strong right bias, are you taking that into account?
Also, articles about Trump losing have a much stronger Central bias. I wonder what we can conclude from this…
Well, everyone can and should come to their own conclusion. One thing…
It’s about 1/3 central 2/3 left. I think that is a good way to look at that.
The “it was about equal” has a higher right bias than the “Trump losing” has a left bias.
