@DavidMuir I was so disappointed to find out that you are bought and paid for by the elite left. I have listened to ABC news over most others when I watch TV news. I even remember the day Frank Reynolds died and how sad I felt. Those days are gone.
In a time of misguided optimism I voted for Biden in 2020. I have come to realize that the current administration is beyond corrupt. That the truth about Biden’s cognitive decline was hidden before the election, and the past three plus years have been horrible for our country. The economy in shambles, illegal immigration being out of control, dangerous foreign policy, parental rights being trampled, and the Education system dumbed down and promoting leftist ideology – all has made me sit up and take notice more than at anytime in my life. Wrong is right and identity politics is eroding our first amendment rights, as feelings are more important than facts. This election made me start listening to all sides to see where the candidates stand on issues. I watch right, left and center news to decide for myself what is going on. I listen to congressional hearings. The stonewalling of Garland, Mayokas, Wray, and the Secret Service was eye opening. Harris flipping on every issue and waxing on philosophically about “the right to be” and making zero sense while doing so, proved her incompetence. She has no substantive agenda for addressing the issues that have risen during her tenure as VP. And the weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI and the courts proved that the Democrats are running scared of the truth coming out about their true agenda and who is really running the country. I was a NEVER TRUMP voter until my eyes were opened to the corruption of the Democrat party. I have vehemently switched my allegiance and will vote for Trump! And I will never again watch ABC News. I cannot support a business whose job it is to be unbiased and leave their partisan views out of the debate proven to be incapable of doing so. There was such partisan bias that I was thinking it was the Onion doing the reporting. Keep it up MSM, it only pushes people to the right!

Ratings for ABC’s “World News Tonight” fell by over 10% since the Sept. 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis.
The Disney-owned network’s broadcast news program hosted by Muir that airs at 6:30 p.m. EDT drew an average of 7.6 million viewers before the September 10 debate, but only drew an average of 6.7 million viewers in the three days after the debate, according to Fox News. Muir and Davis, who hosts the program on weekends, were criticized for making so-called “fact checks” on Trump more often than Harris during the event, even though Harris made false statements about Trump’s position on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other issues.
@ElleDeeOnTheRiver
Ewwwww David!

@Msmarie71
Tune out the noise of the haters – you did a great job David!
@jj-tv3cd
We must get the propagandists in the media out of our election process. We need fair and honest debates so Americans can make informed choices. Shame on you ABC and I hope the consequences are huge. Signed: A liberal who's fed up with the BS. Do your freaking jobs and report the news! I'm either voting for Stein or Trump. There's no way I'd vote for someone who cheats in elections with the media's help. You people are ruining this country.
@78Tinguyen
Why u didnt star ur show with fact / david?!?
@lottorabbit
How could anybody watch David? He cheated for camel in the debate.
@katty5003

@kevinkamann2553
The moderators both need to be fired and ABC needs to lose their license. You tell me ABC EXCATLY WHATS THE POINT WITH BIAS NEWS. ( NONE POINTLESS DISGRACEFUL)
@mustangbrand1159
muir- your credibility and ratings are going down faster than kameela on Willy Browns Dk
@jinma2569
The two ABC moderators tore off their false masks in front of the whole world and personally acted as political thugs for the media's interference in the US presidential election. They constantly fact-checked one side, interrupted the speech and made things difficult for one side; while they did not fact-check the other side's dozens of lies at all, and even echoed and indulged them without time limit, resulting in an unfair debate of three to one. Our view of ABC's "free and fair press" has been completely overturned. It is really shocking and extremely angry!
@timothykramer2551
Breaking news are you fired yet

@siriannacortanesca238
Biased news tonight with David Muir!
@lorribergren9950
Never watch him again!!!
@BM-mn5mm
Hopefully by your obvious bias more people will vote against Harris.
@sounddoctor5decades
Walden and Muir need to be investigated under 18 U.S. Code § 594, all their email correspondence needs to be scrubbed for collusion, at least Disney is not like the federal government and is bound by Sarbanes–Oxley and the emails will be intact. Put them in prison.
@johnfr2389
He moderated that debate in a very obviously biased way. That’s election interference. Moderating a presidential debate comes with responsibilities, and he deliberately failed it. Shame on him, shame on ABC.
@jbonyt123
I’m a new fan of David and i decided to regularly watch ABC new for improving my English , but after that debate…both the moderators and the post-debate comments failed me, even a foreigner like me can feel the biased coddling to Harris…and like Vans said , Kamala’s statements were just platitudes over platitudes , how could the hosts say she felt like a president 😂😂Im thinking about turning to another news channel which is more independent, any better choice guys ????

@tonyzr2-lg7xv
You are nothing but a trader to the people you were very unfair and no one should ever listen to what you spew anymore ABC is a disgrace for allowing this attack on Trump. I have to say the only fair news you get is on Fox and Rebel News.
@shawnshawntheleprecaun4887
Election interference.
@TopGeneral-j3p
We will never trust ABC again

@wbgarfield
DAVID MUIR….LIED, The Department of Justice Crime Data was just RELEASED, David Muir you're a LIAR…..FACT CHECK THIS!!!!!!
EVERYBODY SHOULD BOYCOTT…..ABC and DISNEY!!!!!
@MarkyMarc89
World News Tonight has changed the “reporter” most likely because David is too shameful to show his face on tv anymore after his bias act on the debate and the large number of criticism people are posting including Trump saying in his last rally how he no longer respects him and ABC.
