CNN and ABC News both announced debates between Donald Trump and Joe Biden yesterday. That doesn’t mean 710 WOR host Mark Simone believes they will be impartial events.
During a conversation with economist Steve Moore on The Mark Simone Show Thursday, the New York news/talk host stated his belief that he thought the cards would be stacked against the Republican nominee.
“It’s CNN. They’re gonna rig this debate,” Simone said. “What if they don’t ask real questions? What if they don’t ask about the economy? Or what if they ask about the side issues? Transgender, and all them.”
Later in the conversation, Simone noted that the Biden campaign laid out a list of outlets in which he’d be willing to debate Trump. Those outlets were ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and Telemundo.
Simone argued that those outlets all feature a liberal bias, and claimed that they would point to using someone like Moore, a conservative, as a contributor, but would only place him on panels with several other liberal pundits.
