Dana Bash

President Biden trotted out a debunked smear against former President Donald Trump during their CNN debate last night. MRC Free Speech America had to press ChatGPT to admit Biden’s deception. 

While it was obvious to all that President Biden’s debate performance Thursday night was an unmitigated disaster that had Democrats scrambling behind the scenes for a new candidate, it wasn’t for CNN’s lack of skewing the debate questions in Biden’s favor. According to a NewsBusters analysis of the questions, there were 11 from the left, seven neutral questions, and only three from the right…

According to CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter, moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will be “fact-checking” Donald Trump during Thursday night’s debate, effectively making the contest a 3-on-1.  But how can a network like CNN, which has aired enough fake news to fill a library, deign to crown itself the arbiter of truth?

We've been clear that our expectations for Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in this CNN debate are low, considering their years of Trump-trashing antics. It's a little amazing that they are pledging in advance that they don't plan to "fact check" the candidates, because the moderators aren't "participating" in the debate. Don't buy it.

The concern comes after a great number of videos depicting Biden’s many public outings, and even more publicly known gaffes and moments of disorientation went viral.

Upcoming CNN debate moderator and Inside Politics host Dana Bash marveled to former Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday during a ten-minute interview that President Joe Biden’s speech at Pointe du Hoc in France “was quite a contrast” with recent statements from former President Donald Trump.

Inside Politics host and upcoming CNN presidential debate moderator Dana Bash worried on Wednesday that “baseless claims” against the Department of Justice by Republicans could hurt Democrats from President Joe Biden on down.

On CNN's State of the Union, host Dana Bash defends Joe Biden over critical remarks on his record on race that Kamala Harris made against him. Bash brushes off the remarks as having been made by Karris when she and Biden were running against each other for the Democrat presidential nomination. But as her guest Sen. Tim Scott points out, the truth of Harris's accusations can be confirmed. 

So the inevitable quadrennial debate announcement gets made. There will be two presidential debates, and Donald Trump let Joe Biden set the rules. This time around CNN will host the first, and ABC the second.

While forwarding the smear of former President Donald Trump as an antisemite due to his suggestion that Jews voting against him “should be ashamed”, CNN’s Dana Bash falsely suggested that Trump’s dinner with noted antisemite Nick Fuentes was intentional.
