On a recent episode of Fox News' primetime show, Jesse Watters raised concerns about CNN's decision to impose a gag order on the Trump campaign just days before the upcoming presidential debate.
According to Watters, "CNN just slapped a gag order on the Trump campaign, days before the debate. We knew Trump’s mic would be muted during the debate, but we didn’t know his campaign’s mic would be muted before it. You can go on CNN and lie about Trump, Russia, call Republicans racist, Nazis, but you can’t say Tapper’s biased. If Jake’s not biased, why is he celebrating Trump losing?”

Expressing dismay over the fairness of the upcoming debate, Watters highlighted concerns about the media’s treatment of the presidential candidates. "They’re not only gagging the Trump campaign but also feeding Biden tips," he added, suggesting a double standard in the network's conduct.
Podcaster Tim Pool also weighed in, stating, “CNN is now threatening any social channels that provide commentary on the debate stating they will not allow the use outside of CNN Commentary on a presidential debate is the epitome of fair use and we fully intend to provide insight and real-time fact-checking Thursday LIVE.” Elon Musk responded: "The public has a right to see Presidential debates however they would like. DMCA does not apply."

The controversy further erupted after CNN’s Kasie Hunt abruptly cut off Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, when she brought up Jake Tapper’s history of comparing Trump to Hitler.
In response, Leavitt criticized Hunt, stating, “You cut off my microphone for bringing up the debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies. This proved our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly on Thursday.”
The first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden is scheduled for Thursday evening at 9 pm ET and will be hosted by CNN in Atlanta, with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as moderators. With both moderators known for their critical views of Trump, concerns are mounting about the fairness and objectivity of the debate on this divisive network.

CNN AND THE REST OF MAIN STREAM MEDIA NEED TO BE ABOLISHED AS THEY ARE TREASONIST COMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Treasonous Marxists
LOL. Sure, they spout lies constantly, but if we “abolish” them, then WE are the commies. In the USA we are free to say what we think.
The Woketards and their technocrat globalist buddies believe the behavior(s) outlined in the article are just fine. Why? If it benefits them, it’s RIGHT.
Know them by their deeds.
☭NN, MSNB☭, ☭BS, NB☭ have issues!
Jake “The SNAKE” Tapper is one of the moderators? Why this FAKE toad?
I still DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY Trump agreed to this!???
This is nothing more than Tyranny at work!
Trump should just bow out … because they (Left) Can fold – spindle and twist everything Trump said into so seriously out of context … that we don’t know what was actually said and the context.
How does a TV station slap a gag order on anyone? What if Trump speaks? Are they going to kick him off the debate??? Wait…the plan all along??
After ALL This Bogus Bullshit It Would Be NO Surprise When Jopedo Cancels at The Last Minute!!-Wouldn’t Matter If D.T. Was Debating 20 Morons He Will Still Make The Scum Look Like K.K.K. Imbeciles!!
CNN(Commie News Network) showed it’s hand Many times, as Tapper etal. are SO BIASED, they will try to Shut Trump Down during this “So Called Debate, which I’d bet Biden Already has the questions given to him, so his “Handlers, Cough, Cough(Obama, etal) can give him the Answers and DRILL it Into his empty brain. CNN along with the Loser, who shut down the woman who was on her show, got Rattled and SHUT DOWN THE TRUMP SUPPORTER, Yeah, that’s “Freedom of Speech”….Wrong, Communists ONLY want their views/words to be spoken. . But Trump is Very Intelligent and HE WILL COME OUT LOOKING LIKE THE PRESIDENT WHO DID “SAVE AMERICA” AND THAT HE IS VERY CAPABLE OF DOING SO AGAIN!!!”
