The title is the original title that NYT published. They updated it after backlash (rightfully so). Please don’t report this post again.
Can you not update the title? I can update my title on posts to different communities… Why preserve the old/pre-change title?
they can, but the title doesn’t violate any rules.
This is a weird way to say “Trump backs out of debating Harris on ABC”.
NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):
Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead
The biggest issue is many people will have only seen the first headline and not the update. They got inaccurate information and it won’t be corrected, and the NYT is to blame.
Haha I see that new headline. ‘tegrity.
“Cancels” is the wrong verb again. ABC can cancel it, Trump can only decide not to show. ABC and Kamala can go ahead and have a debate with the audience or even put a cardboard cut out in his place and play random quotes he’s made and let Kamala disagree with them. ABC would get views and advertising revenue.
The right neutral verb phrase there is “backs out of”. The one I would pick is “shirks” or “fears”
Her statement should make clear that she is only interested in debates hosted by news networks, citing Fox News’ own lawyers who say that they aren’t journalists, but rather “entertainers”.
Maybe also make a point of refusing to work with an organization that was found liable for defaming voting machine manufacturers and poll workers during the last election.
There are endless valid reasons for saying no to this debate, and holding Trump to the original debate schedule he already agreed to.
I want the debate to happen AFTER Trump is sentenced in DC. Depending on what happens there, the debates topics are vastly different. Making a president into a king with literal life or death powers is a power that Trump will misuse.
Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?
What a joke.
They’re probably hoping someone in the audience brings a gun.
What, do we need another Republican to shoot Trump’s other ear?
I was thinking Kamala. Never know with those idiots though. lol
Side note: Did you happen to see the close ups of Trump’s ear at the ABJ convention? Shit was on FULL DISPLAY and didn’t look shot at all. 🤔
Ask anyone who wears earrings, ears heal fast. (That said, I expect he only had a scratch.)
It was reported that it was a 2cm wound. That’s not insignificant.
A 2cm graze wound is different from a 2 cm penetrating wound. Even that fact can be misleading.
Not from a bullet wound, they don’t.
I still maintain that he got a scratch from a shard of the teleprompter at worst, and has been milking it for all it’s worth.
Because it wasn’t. That blood was the spatter from an actual victim behind him. He has been pretending to have been shot, without any actual injury of any kind.
How could the blood have been from the other victim? They were no where near that close to Trump. They would have had to have been on the stage with him lol
Blood spatter can travel quite a long distance. The shooting victim was in the crowd immediately behind Trump at what looks to be about 15-20 feet away. If he was that close, a high velocity projectile could create spatter that could reach the podium.
Apply Occam’s razor here. Of course he’s milking it for all its worth, but he got hit by something. Bullet graze, shrapnel graze, shattered glass graze, whatever it was it did hit him.
If Trump is afraid he can’t find the ABC venue can’t his son or someone drive him there and help him get to the stage?
Okay Trump, you’re playing the cards you wish you had, rather than the ones in your hand. A clear sign of denial.
I agree to Trump withdrawing from the election.

If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.Fucking hell I’m actually excited. If you had asked me literally a month ago I wouldn’t have given a shit and would have laughed if you had told me I’d be interested. Don’t get me wrong I was going to vote either way, but man I cannot wait for Harris to slam the shit out of this dirt bag and make a national embarrassment of him. The shit that worked with Biden sure as hell isn’t going to fly with Harris.
Don’t underestimate the ratfuckery Fox Entertainment Channel can get up to.
According to Mr. Trump’s post on his social media site, the debate is to take place at a to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania, the must-win battleground state that could help decide the election. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate.
It was unclear early Saturday if Ms. Harris had agreed to the debate and its terms. Representatives for her campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News also did not respond to questions.
I think it’s worth waiting to see if Harris has actually agreed to this, in the extremely unlikely chance that Trump lied about a thing.
Also, pretty funny that even if that’s the case, Trump still needs a month to prepare and it has to be in his safe space network.
Well, Harris does have a pre-existing commitment coming up soon. Surprised Trump didn’t challenge her to debate during that.
he is only ‘agreeing’ with the voice inside his head bouncing between the three brain cells. trying to play games and force harris into it.
i highly doubt harris would agree to those terms. nfw.
I’m sorry but you’re wrong. Two brain cells fighting for third place.
Would be funny to have it at the same place he got shot at last time.
Have it at the 4 Seasons (Total Landscaping parking lot).
That’s even better, nice one.
I truly can’t believe this timeline. That moment can’t have been real. Yet it was.
The Harris campaign on Saturday declined to commit to the Fox News debate and said it was still planning on a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC.
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10,”
I think that’s pretty clear.
Pleassssseeeee stick to this Harris!! Man we can only hope.
I’m glad she called it exactly for what it was. Too bad Magoos will only see this as she wants her supposed safe space. :(
only if harris somehow sneaks a bullhorn/megaphone onto the stage so she can still make sure those fuckers hear her when her mic “malfunctions”.
fox deserves no respect.
You know how fascists are always projecting; the way he treats normal news agencies tells us all we need to know - it’s exactly how we SHOULD be treating his pet agencies.
I cannot stand his voice; I always end up muting the TV and reading the closed captioning. Those poor people that have to do the live captioning though…
When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.
Imagine having to stand on that stage and smell that soiled old man. If he stank I would bring that up before answering every question
"I’m sorry can I get a fan up here? I need to be down wind of his diaper. "
UPWIND UPWIND!
upwind*
Fuck.
I can’t either. On the other hand, I’ll take it because he’s going up against a very seasoned prosecuting attorney.
The Fox News event is a week earlier than the originally scheduled ABC debate. Won’t Harris look bad if she doesn’t go?
Why is it on Harris to attend a debate she didn’t agree to, and not on Trump to attend the debate he did agree to?
He RSVP’d to the ABC debate, and now he’s chickening out and trying to hide behind his propagandist friends to avoid engaging in an actual debate.
It only looks bad for Harris if you consider Trump someone with integrity, Fox News an honest platform, or ignore how many debates Trump has backed out of in the past purely out of cowardice.
He’ll do a debate if it’s in his safe space. Snowflake.
I think this is bad news tbh. Harris can be as capable as she wants, but if the broadcaster doesnt stop Trump from a endless ramble or cut off his mic if he escalates to intolerable levels of behaviour, then this could end badly.
Don’t give Fox News respect. Start talking shit about it right now. Call this what it is, a scared old weird man who will only debate Harris on a “news” network currently paying billions for lying to everyone about the last election. Harris will treat Trump and the “journalists” playing moderators like children which is how we should’ve been treating them for years. Talking to them like adults validates their lies and bullshit.
Pretty sure Fox is run by a scared old weird man.
Harris should call them out. “I said a debate on a news source, not some weird entertainment channel. Might as well have the weather channel moderate the debate!”
While entertaining for us, I don’t think that’d be a wise reaction. If she wants to win, she probably also needs to sway some people that are lifetime FOX junkies. Such a reaction could have a ‘basket of deplorables’ effect (being the stone cold truth, but hardly effective)
Being nice to idiots has proven to be hardly effective. Kamala needs to read word for word the arguments the Fox News lawyers made when they were in court for the dominion case. Fox News isn’t news it’s entertainment and they don’t employ journalists they employ entertainers. This is what Fox News said.
No, what she needs to do is win this election. That’s her job, everything else (like taking entertainment corpos to task for their shady tactics) comes secondary right now.
I fail to see how one impedes the other, in fact I would argue it would help her win. If she’s running on doing just that why wouldn’t she take a shot. Why hide? You think any Fox News fanboys would be swayed by anything Kamala says? Her time would be better spent attracting unregistered voters and she could do that by saying the quiet part out loud.
Hopefully it’s outside.
Underhanded. I like it.
In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is ‘suggests’.
He made a post saying that’s the “deal”. In a way it’s a brave way to try and get a venue change. Harris would have to basically insult Fox News and their entire viewership to avoid looking like she’s walking away.
Again, it’s not a deal if you don’t have agreement. That’s not a deal, it’s an offer.
I know that and you know that. But do the people who just watch Sinclair News know that?
Brave isn’t the right word. Brazen is.
Yeah I can’t always with the words.
That’s what Trump is doing to ABC right now
And she’s calling him out in a way I couldn’t see happening before. I’m glad to see it.
Which (insulting fox and their viewers) she should do regardless, tbh
If she can go on Fox News and score a couple points against him it’ll go very well for her though; going into the proverbial lions den and coming out the other side
No (current) Harris voters are watching Fox News right now, she only stands to gain votes if she handles herself.
Gov Newsom destroyed when he was on Fox. I don’t think that Fox will repeat their mistake.
Yeah putting this on Fox seems like a super risky move on the Trump campaign’s part, for not that much gain.
It won’t. There is nothing to gain in debating baby Donnie on Fox News.
That’s a quick way to lose an election. Almost like calling people deplorable. That worked great didn’t it?
That was one of the very few good things she did. Hilary is just a deeply unlikable person.
Insulting voters is never a good move in an election.
She didn’t though. This is blatant misinformation.
Apparently, it is news to Fox, too.
