Fox’s Brit Hume and Laura Ingraham Bury ‘Obnoxious’ CBS Moderators: ‘Smug and Arrogant Bias’
Fox News pundits Brit Hume and Laura Ingraham laid into CBS News’s moderators in the vice president debate on Tuesday night.
Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan did the honors for CBS and peppered Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance for nearly two hours. During the debate, former President Donald Trump accused the moderators of being “extremely biased.”
Fox News followed suit in its post-debate coverage.
“Well, the moderators were obnoxious and made it feel like three-on-one on Vance,” Hume said. “And Vance was just fine… His skills as a debater and a speaker seem to have been honed to some extent by just these several months on the campaign trail. And for one so young, he seemed – in terms of his knowledge of policy – to run rings around poor Governor Walz, who I think did not have a very great night.”
Ingraham chimed in, stating that Republicans who questioned Trump picking Vance as his running mate had their concerns quelled.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Republican so deftly maneuver what was smug and arrogant bias on the part of those moderators,” she said. “Almost every question was designed to make Republicans look bad, slanting Trump’s views on childcare. And yet Vance seemed to take it all in stride. And he really, I think, with most questions, really showed his humanity and also his knowledge of the issues. I don’t think he could’ve done better under the circumstances. And I think that is very reassuring to the public who thought he was perhaps an ogre or anti-woman or didn’t like kids or some strange concoction of the stereotypes that they were selling.”
