BREAKINGS: Candace Owens Calls Out ABC News Anchors: “David Muir and Linsey Davis Are a Disgrace to Their Profession”
In a recent media takedown, conservative commentator Candace Owens has sharply criticized ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis, labeling them “a disgrace to their profession” after their moderation of a high-profile debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Known for her confrontational style and critique of mainstream media, Owens’ comments have ignited passionate discussions on social media, dividing opinions on whether the anchors blurred the lines of unbiased journalism.
During the debate, Muir and Davis fact-checked Trump multiple times, which Owens and other conservative commentators deemed excessive. They argued that this scrutiny allowed Harris to evade tough questions. “They treated Kamala Harris like a guest on The View—all softball questions and free passes,” Owens remarked in a follow-up video. “Meanwhile, Trump couldn’t get two words out before they jumped in to fact-check him.”
Owens’ critique has resonated with many on the right, further fueling accusations of media bias. Supporters of her viewpoint believe that traditional news outlets favor Democrats, and her comments quickly gained traction online, prompting hashtags like #DisgraceToJournalism and #StandWithMuirAndDavis to trend.
In response to Owens’ allegations, ABC News defended its moderators. A spokesperson stated, “Moderators have a responsibility to fact-check candidates, especially when misinformation is spread.” They emphasized that Muir and Davis acted professionally and impartially throughout the debate.
