Controversy Surrounds CNN Debate Moderators' Perceived Bias Against Trump
News summary

The upcoming CNN-hosted presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has generated significant controversy, particularly regarding the moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Critics, including Trump allies, have accused Tapper and Bash of strong anti-Trump bias, citing past comments where Tapper likened Trump to Adolf Hitler and criticized his administration. CNN, struggling with viewer ratings and seeking to reassert its relevance, sees the debate as a crucial moment. Meanwhile, Trump supporters have continued to attack CNN, suggesting the debate will be unfairly biased against Trump. Conversely, some conservative pundits, like Hugh Hewitt, have defended the professionalism of Tapper and Bash, emphasizing their previous experience in moderating debates. The debate's significance is heightened by its early timing in the campaign and the unprecedented decision to allow other networks to broadcast it.
