CNN, known for its liberal bias, is gearing up to host a presidential debate with Republican critics already raising concerns about the network’s impartiality. The network’s history of anti-Trump sentiment has many wondering if Thursday’s debate will be fair and square.
CNN’s approach to Trump has been no secret, with their anchors often seen attempting to fact-check the former President in real time. This bias was on full display when an interview with Trump’s campaign press secretary was abruptly cut short after she pointed out Jake Tapper’s consistent attacks on Trump.
The upcoming debate, co-hosted by Tapper and Dana Bash, has raised eyebrows as both have a long record of criticizing Trump. Their past comments branding Trump as a liar, likening him to Hitler, and accusing him of promoting falsehoods have only fueled concerns about their ability to moderate a fair debate.

Critics, including Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell, have openly doubted CNN’s ability to treat President Trump fairly during the debate. Even individuals like businessman David Sacks and X Strategies CEO Alex Bruesewitz have expressed skepticism about the network’s impartiality.
Despite CNN’s defense of Tapper and Bash as veteran journalists, the concerns raised by Republicans continue to linger. With CNN’s political director already vowing to fact-check immediately after the debate, the optics seem to favor President Joe Biden.
As Trump accepted the debate on CNN, he noted that the terms presented seemed designed to make it difficult for him to agree. Meanwhile, Biden’s reluctance to participate in more than two debates has added to the skepticism surrounding the upcoming event.
The stage is set for a contentious showdown on Thursday, with CNN’s reputation for bias hanging heavily over the proceedings. Conservative Americans will be watching closely to see if the network can set aside its anti-Trump agenda and host a truly fair and balanced debate.
