Not like the sentiment is new or will go away. It's essentially the Klan in designer sheets. It's not quite as exclusive since they let Catholics and southern Europeans in but the "Get out of my yard" attitude is still the same.
Whenever you hear conservatives bemoaning the "biased mainstream liberal media", this is what they're really talking about. Simply fact-checking Dear Leader or any of their other candidates is seen as a threat to them and grossly unfair. To them, anything even remotely to the left of Fox or OAN or Newsmax is a far-left propaganda network. Far from being biased, ABC's moderators let Trump ramble on for far longer than they did Kamala, and he actually got significantly more speaking time than she did. But ABC dared to fact-check a guy who tells about a lie a minute, so they're just another example of how the "liberal mainstream media" is biased against Dear Leader and conservatives in general. Sure, sure.
When you truly believe all the lies are actually true, it’s easy to think the fact checkers are out to get you. And if you’re gullible enough to believe all those lies in the first place, you’re not changing your mind when people you’ve been taught to hate point out that your core beliefs are simply false.

I had someone I knew from school back in the day talking about the moderators on Facebook, saying the moderators should just ask questions and not fact check Trump, and said she knew who the moderators were going to vote for. Immediate unfriend.
Theist people tend to believe everything is possible, evil hates them and people who don't recognize their personal relationship with the Great String Puller in the Sky are stupid and undeserving. They grew up believing twelve different impossible things before breakfast and kowtowing to the people who "taught" them.
More rational people realize everything might not be understood but natural laws always apply, stupidity is the real enemy and if you don't bother me or mine, I'll do the same for you. (the essence of the Golden rule)
We won the debate, it was my best performance!
She cheated, she was given the questions in advance!
She had an earpiece! Fake earrings!
The moderators cheated! They didn't fact-check her!
Which is it? You won or She cheated? Just STFU and admit you got SKULL FUCKED in front of the entire world.

In October 2023, after the Israel–Hamas war started, Leading Report tweeted that Hamas claimed to have received support from Ukraine. Hamas had not made such a statement...”
He can't just "win" anything 55-45 or something like that, can he? It's got to be 90-10 or 95-5 or some huge margin that can't be contested, right out of the autocrat textbook. If there's anything this country should be able to agree on, it's precisely the fact that we can't agree on anything collectively.
ABC is the worst at rigging debates in the history of debates. All that rigging and cheating and Trump won according to 93% of voters in best poll, and 86% in 2nd best.
