It details five pointed questions that could be \u200bposed to Biden to ensure a more balanced debate. These questions address key issues such as the rise in inflation since Biden took\u2063 office, \u200dhis future plans to handle inflation, changes in his approach towards \u2062border control and illegal immigration, and his limited interaction with the press. Each question \u200creflects criticisms of \u200cBiden\u2019s past actions and policies while also probing his future intentions and accountability. These are framed within the \u200ccontext of ensuring \u200cfair journalistic\u200b practice in political debate moderation.  <\/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<div>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, and Dana Bash\u2019s ex-husband signed onto the infamous letter that dismissed Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop as Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election. Yet both of these so-called journalists are supposed to moderate a fair presidential debate this Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s long history of anti-Trump bias will undoubtedly permeate the moderators\u2019 line of questioning in favor of President Joe Biden, but here are five questions the moderators would ask Biden if they wanted to host a truly fair debate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) \u201cWhen you took office, inflation was 1.4 percent. Under your leadership, inflation hit 9 percent. Why do you blame Trump for that?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4P1E9iKf__Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consistently lied<\/a> about his record on inflation, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1790442861424435396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">telling<\/a> Yahoo Finance in May that inflation was \u201cat 9 percent\u201d when he entered office. Inflation was <em>actually <\/em>at 1.4 percent when he took office and did not reach 9.1 percent until 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/charts\/consumer-price-index\/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) \u201cWhat would you do differently in the next four years to bring down inflation that you could not have done these past four years?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These past four years, Biden has done nothing but spend, spend, spend. Under Biden, Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/3684\">passed<\/a> a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package in 2021, with a focus on repairing roads and bridges. Notably, the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed earlier this year after a boat struck one of the supporting columns, killing six members of the crew that were working on the bridge at the time of the collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/rapidan-dam-minnesota-imminent-failure-condition-officials-warn-rcna158645\">Rapidan Dam<\/a> in Minnesota is in \u201cimminent failure condition\u201d after severe flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also signed the roughly $750 billion \u201cInflation Reduction Act\u201d which was originally touted to, well, reduce inflation. Biden later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2023\/08\/09\/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-reception-albuquerque-nm\/\">admitted<\/a> the goal of the legislation was to promote his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-rowe-reacts-to-john-kerrys-solar-panel-comments-energy-cant-be-the-enemy\/\" title=\"Mike Rowe Reacts To John Kerry\u2019s Solar Panel Comments: \u2018Energy Can\u2019t Be The Enemy\u2019\">climate change policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) \u201cFor years you have said you did all you could to secure the border. During the last few weeks, you have taken executive action to implement policies related to illegal immigration. What changed in four years and why did you wait?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1777899509764272459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> he was unsure whether he \u201chas the power all by himself without legislation\u201d to shut down the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/18\/bidens-executive-actions-on-the-border-are-making-the-crisis-even-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">southern border<\/a>, even claiming doing so could possibly draw rebuke from the high court. Notably, Biden did not care what the Supreme Court had to say when he ignored its ruling on his bailout for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-white-house-economic-adviser-kudlow-slams-sen-warrens-wealth-tax\/\" title=\"Fmr. White House economic adviser Kudlow slams Sen. Warren\u2019s wealth tax\">student loan borrowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has since changed tune, taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/06\/04\/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-secure-the-border\/#:~:text=President%20Biden%20issued%20a%20proclamation,into%20the%20United%20States%20unlawfully.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive action<\/a> to suspend the \u201centry of noncitizens who cross the Southern border into the United States unlawfully.\u201d But as my colleague John Daniel Davidson <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/18\/bidens-executive-actions-on-the-border-are-making-the-crisis-even-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notes<\/a>, the \u201corder itself belies the fact that it\u2019s pure window dressing that won\u2019t actually reduce illegal immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) \u201cThe New York Times and other outlets have criticized you for avoiding interviews and speaking to the press. You have the lowest rate of interaction with the media than both of your predecessors. What\u2019s your response?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytco.com\/press\/a-statement-from-the-new-york-times-on-presidential-news-coverage\/\">called<\/a> it \u201ctroubling\u201d that Biden \u201chas so actively and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-york-times-torches-biden-for-troubling-media-strategy-in-official-statement\/\" title=\"The New York Times Criticizes Biden's Media Approach in Official Statement\">effectively avoided questions<\/a> from independent journalists during his term.\u201d Last year, the Times and other outlets noted that Biden had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/04\/21\/us\/politics\/biden-public-appearances-media.html\">held<\/a> the fewest number of news conferences since former President Ronald Reagan. That\u2019s after the Biden administration claimed his presidency would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKBN29Q08S\/\">marked<\/a> by \u201ctruth and transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) \u201cPresident Biden, you have continually said, \u2018No one is above the law,\u2019 and that legal decisions, such as Trump\u2019s conviction, must be respected. Where then do you get the authority to ignore the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling when it comes to student loans?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/04\/12\/manhattan-d-a-enlisted-a-whos-who-of-biden-admin-buddies-for-trump-takedown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">former No. 3 in Biden\u2019s Department of Justice<\/a> helped secure a show trial conviction of Trump, overseen by a Biden donor in a Manhattan court, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/05\/31\/biden-trump-conviction-verdict-response\">said<\/a> the ruling \u201creaffirmed\u201d that \u201cno one is above the law,\u201d and that the system of justice \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-urges-respect-legal-system-trump-conviction-publicly-flouting-scotus-rulings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">should be respected<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Biden flouted the Supreme Court after it stopped his plan to force taxpayers to foot the bill for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cbo-miscalculated-federal-student-loan-program-budget-by-500-billion\/\" title=\"CBO Miscalculated Federal Student Loan Program  Budget by 0 Billion\">unpaid student loans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly in my term, I announced a major plan to provide millions of working families with debt relief for their college student debt,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/biden-brags-supreme-court-stop-canceling-student-loans-happy-break-law\">said<\/a>. \u201cMy MAGA Republican friends in the Congress, elected officials and special interests stepped in and sued us.
