CNN has announced that moderators will use various \u200ctools to enforce \u2064rules on speaking time and maintain a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-sign-of-casualties-from-russian-revenge-attack-on-ukrainian-soldiers\/\" title=\"No Sign From Casualties From Russian Revenge Attack to Ukrainian Soldiers\">civilized discussion<\/a>. \u2064This includes previous measures like muting microphones when candidates speak out of turn.\u200d However, there is concern about the extent of control CNN moderators, specifically Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, \u200dwill have, \u200dincluding potentially cutting off speakers at their discretion for \u2064various reasons, possibly leading to an uneven handling of each candidate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>This semi-regular feature is usually about some deceitful narrative the propaganda news media are pushing in recent days, but there\u2019s a high-stakes presidential debate next week and it\u2019s better that we use this installment to anticipate what will happen then.<\/p>\n<p>CNN, the debate\u2019s host network, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/06\/15\/politics\/trump-biden-cnn-debate-rules\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said Saturday<\/a> that both President Biden and former President Trump had agreed to the terms for participating, but the announcement included this alarming detail: \u201c[A]s in the past, the moderators \u2018will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion \u2026&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-638338638\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d60fc5444d9b5e473f5442b4a931aba7 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d60fc5444d9b5e473f5442b4a931aba7\"><\/div>\n<p>It was already the case that the candidates <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/15\/bidens-debate-demands-show-his-weakness-trump-can-capitalize-on-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will have their mics muted<\/a> during the opposing candidate\u2019s time, eliminating interruptions of one another. So, what other \u201ctools\u201d will remain at the disposal of CNN\u2019s miserable choice for moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, so that they might \u201cenforce timing\u201d and, more insidiously, \u201censure a civilized discussion?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The way things are supposed to happen is the moderators ask questions and allow the candidates equal time to answer. Even with the new stipulation that a mic is turned down when it\u2019s outside of a candidate\u2019s allotted time, the basic concept shouldn\u2019t change. But that\u2019s surely not how this is going to work. By \u201cenforce timing\u201d and \u201censure a civilized discussion,\u201d what CNN means is that Tapper, Bash, and the countless producers in their ear pieces will cut off both Trump and Biden at their discretion, though for sharply different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Trump will have his audio killed because his plan is undeniably to lay into CNN and the media at large just as much as it is to flay Biden\u2019s godawful presidency. Both are deserving of it, but Tapper and Bash are in control and aren\u2019t going to just bend over and take it. The \u201ctools at their disposal\u201d in that event will be for the pair to drop Trump\u2019s feed and insert their own niggling, irksome commentary about the former president veering \u201coff topic\u201d or failing to be \u201ccivilized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden, by contrast, will be saved by the mute. Rewatch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">presidential debates<\/a> of 2020 and it\u2019s exceedingly obvious Trump\u2019s frantic and frequent interjections during Biden\u2019s time to speak hurt the former president. The more Biden is allowed to speak, the more unseemly his performance. Whether he\u2019s musing about his dead son, his fabricated biography, or his indefensible record, he meanders each time into incoherence, leaving his audience as confounded as concerned. The purpose of cutting Biden\u2019s mic will serve to mitigate that handicap.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-19f142ac86be6a9b4c6d9143b640cbfe fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-19f142ac86be6a9b4c6d9143b640cbfe\"><\/div>\n<p>As ever on the media\u2019s turf, the deck is stacked against Trump. A live audience, invariably a Trump asset, won\u2019t be present. He could have insisted that there be no interruptions or \u201clive fact checks\u201d (aka unsolicited opinions) by moderators, but there\u2019s no indication he did and now CNN is essentially admitting it reserves the right for Tapper and Bash to act up as they please.<\/p>\n<p>The lie hasn\u2019t happened yet, but we already know what it is. It\u2019s that Tapper and CNN will do everything they can to shield Biden and kneecap Trump, excusing the blatant election interference as simply an honest attempt to \u201cenforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-df481fb6c18eaf18773e75d0380c455e fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-df481fb6c18eaf18773e75d0380c455e\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This feature typically exposes media deceit, but with a crucial presidential debate next week, we&#8217;ll focus on that instead.
