CNN talked about Trump lies in the debate, and every news organization and commentators talked about it, but its not a subject to be discussed on a daily basis because its a one time event. While Biden senile concerns is a daily issue with new footage of him messing up everyday. CNN has been covering Trump lies for the past decade (And still does), so anyone saying CNN is attacking Biden and not Trump is delusional.

I disagree that Biden was coherent during the debate, which is why the whole country is concerned, and thats why CNN is covering the issue.

Also, keep in mind Trump has not been saying anything controversial at all, even during the debate he was very quite.

Here are some lies of Biden during the debate:

 

Yeh people go on about Trumps lies to cover for Bidens poor performance but they neglected the fact Biden lied as much as Trump. I'm honestly surprised CNN pointed it out lol.

Yes I agree, but I wouldnt say they lie as much as each other, and Trump lies about dangerous things.

Here are some lies of Biden during the debate:

 

Biden's senility concerns are a daily issue, but Trump's lies were a one-time event ??

No. Trump's lies are a daily issue too.

[MOT 3,653]

'Why don't you guys ever talk about the lies that he told ? Where are you on this ?' They are pertinent questions, especially the second one, and just by the by, that second question imo is not something you are likely to hear from a man whose mind is gone.

It isn't true to say that CNN never talk about Trump's lies. They do, a lot, although in the case of the debate it seems to me that they have talked about Biden a hell of a lot more than Trump.

But I want to leave the debate aside for a moment and talk about a bigger picture, about what's been happening since Jan 6, and I think that's what Biden's second question is about. Before Jan 6 my opinion of Trump was that he was a pos, but politically he had achieved what he had achieved because he had got the votes. I was horrified by that, but ... that's democracy. Then along came the 2020 election and he did the thing that you CANNOT do. He refused to accept the result, and he didn't just refuse to concede, he actually tried to prevent the transfer of power. At that point, imo, he took himself out of the game. The GOP, by nominating him again, have taken themselves out of the game too, but CNN and MSNBC haven't reacted to that as they should. Yes they have called out Trump and the GOP on their lies, but they need to go further imo. They need to state unequivocally that Trump is not a legitimate candidate, that he is a living, breathing enemy of the US and that people should not vote for him. They need to pick a side, forget about balance, forget about both-sidesing, it's a different game now. The GOP and Fox have turned up with guns, grenades, attack dogs and bear spray. And the the Dems and CNN are standing there waving a copy of the constitution.

Here are some lies of Biden during the debate:

 

Biden’s “lies” were moreso statements that were partially true but weren’t fully elaborated on. Also those lies are mostly inconsequential to the overall picture and the general gist of the point he was making still stood. At best his lies could be counted as exaggerating statements that were generally true. Trump’s lies were 100 times worse and dangerously so without a single grain of truth to them. Also I’m discussing the NATO press conference where he was there for 50 minutes discussing foreign policy where he was completely sound in mind and had the facts entirely straight. Or the multiple campaign stops he has done before and after where he is delivering speeches. 
 

Trump’s lies is not a one time event. These are dangerous and bold lies that are never ending. Also again Trump makes senile, delusional, and out of touch with reality statements on a daily basis. Especially on his campaign stops. No one discusses it because it requires going on social media and watching his rallies. 
 

Finally, I stated that CNN spends like 5 minutes of their on-air time discussing Trump’s lies in comparison to like 10 hours for the past 9 days since the debate about Biden’s poor performance. Even ramping up the hysteria by discussing unverified, false and misleading stories about Parkinson’s doctors visiting him.

They both lied, and CNN did not debunk their lies, it’s Joe Bidens job to do that. Hes literally telling CNN they should defend him and do what he was supposed to do? 

We need to remember who Biden is up against. If Trump were a normal candidate, with some casual “errors” here and there, it would be possible for an opponent to fact-check them. But how do you do that when your opponent lies approximately six times a minute with no accountability, AND you still have to answer your own questions?

Do not forget Project 2025 which boldly plans on gutting most of the balances and checks of executive power that kept Trump from becoming a dictator in the first place. Not too mention Project 2025 will dismantle everything that the Obama/Biden administration and Biden/Harris administration did for the LGBT community.

Why are we talking about CNN when the interview was done by NBC …

I have CNN on at work and no coverage is most definitely lopsided. They get a generally off-putting individual complaining about Trump and use them as the standard Trump detractor for all of 5-10 minutes. Lately it has all been fairly dry reporting when it comes to Trump. Meanwhile they’ve spent every hour for the past 10 days discussing Biden’s poor debate performance. Completely neglecting that type of behavior is actually fairly standard for Trump on the campaign trail on a daily basis, it just isn’t reported on and you would have to actually sit through his campaign rallies to witness this. CNN in the past week has been running unverified, false and misleading stories about how a Parkinson’s doctor was visiting the White House for Biden.  How Biden’s family is consoling him and most Democratic leadership wants him out of the race. All of which has been proven false but they have run wild with it. 

No, they’ve spent the last 10 days reporting on how Democrats were trying to revolt and persuade him to get off the ticket because of the bad debate performance - how did you miss such a key element of that narrative? Do you know how historic it would be if Biden were to resign and put Kamala on? Extremely.

All of that pressure was real. It’s still an ongoing drama.

And reading “the parkinson’s visit is fake “ and “Dems aren’t trying to get him out” as fake?? What a wild thing to say. Completely untrue. KJP was caught lying about whether Biden had a doctors visit (I believe) and the press was pissed because Biden completely contradicted her. His visits are on the public record w his name

and… I mean idk. So many media outlets are chronicling the inner drama of Nancy Pelosi and others trying to get him out, Biden’s messy meetings with congress people… I don’t know why you trust the White House’s word but they are simply not to be believed at face value. Dems or Republicans. 

Speaking of… Trump really didn’t deserve to be blasted at the top of every hour after that debate, given the context of how boring and predictable he was. The news is about new and shocking stuff: not about being a propagandist mouthpiece for the Democratic party 

[MelbHawker 6,583]

Mmm.. Biden’s illness seems to have taken over his mind. I understand what he was trying to do in that brief 1 minute clip & it was valid in context, but his inability to articulate himself clearly just gets in the way of any point being made with conviction & confidence. It’s sad.. watching him speak reminds me of the conversations I used to have with my grandfather when he was going through his Alzheimer’s disease.

The correct thing for him to have done was step down months ago, & let Harris & a fresh face lead his party.

Again, it was the context and hysteria surrounding it. There was a Parkinson’s doctor visit but it had nothing to do with Biden as they were painting it out to be. Yes there are some democrats that were worried and did ask Biden to step down but it is not how it was painted out to be on the news stations or quite as many as people as was being discussed. There were just as many democrats defending Biden including AOC telling democrats that they should resign for suggesting that they throw in the towel for this election season. That got little to no air time. 
 

Trump was absolutely not blasted at the top of every hour for his lies but yes he absolutely does deserve to. He was blatantly taking credit for things that Biden accomplished and gaslighting the nation. You want to know what is more unique about this election cycle is the fact that if Trump is re-elected, a fascist dictator will be installed and our fragile democracy will collapse. A corrupt Supreme Court doing his bidding and helping him complete Project 2025 which will dismantle all of the checks and balances in the executive branch. How he will go on a vindictive assault on his enemies and oust them from all levels of power and be able to unilaterally pass his agenda. How the civil rights protection for people of color, woman, and the LGBT community will go out the door. How everything the Obama/Biden and Biden/Harris administration accomplished for LGBT people will go out the door. How abortion laws will change in this country. Those would be unprecedented first things for the nation and a real cause for concern.

The White House’s explanation of that Doc seeing military people makes no sense given the military would literally kick out anyone who showed signs of neurological decline… let alone 8 visits since 1.5 years ago. 

Also, according to Politico, this mass front of public support for Biden is a ruse. Most dems are freaked out behind the scenes, and it’s leaking in the press on purpose.

Also you misconstrued what I said about Trump deserving to be criticized. He does for all the reasons you mentioned, but Biden’s terrible debate and Dems attempting a mutiny is newsworthy. That’s why it was getting all the attention it did until someone decided to try and shoot Trump dead.
