In a striking revelation that has rocked the media world, Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) has pointed to a whistleblower’s claim suggesting ABC News worked with Vice President Kamala Harris to provide her with an unfair advantage during a recent presidential debate. Appearing on Fox Business with anchor Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Meuser shared his concerns about the alleged collusion and his plans to bring ABC News before Congress to testify about the matter.
The whistleblower report, while unverified, alleges that ABC News provided Harris’s campaign with sample questions prior to the debate, agreed to fact-check only former President Donald Trump, and steered clear of asking Harris any difficult or potentially damaging questions. According to Rep. Meuser, this is more than just a bias—it is an outright attack on the integrity of our democratic process.
“Fortunately, we now have a whistleblower,” Meuser stated during the interview, “and I’m going to tell you something, Maria, we’re going to do what we can to bring ABC in and have them answer some questions. This isn’t just about bias—it’s about tearing down the First Amendment and our right to a free and fair press.”
While ABC News has denied the allegations, many, including billionaire Bill Ackman, have raised concerns about the potential credibility of the whistleblower’s claims. Ackman, who has historically supported Democrats, changed his stance after the 2023 attacks on Israel and has since been more critical of the left. He recently posted about the whistleblower on X (formerly Twitter), pointing out that no prominent figures at ABC, including David Muir and Linsey Davis, have publicly denied the claims.
Ackman went further, writing, “If you are not guilty as alleged, you have no choice but to immediately issue a statement denying the claims. Silence is an admission of complicity.” His words have added fuel to the fire, with many questioning why ABC has been slow to respond directly to the whistleblower’s affidavit.
Bartiromo noted during the interview, “ABC News has already denied allegations of collusion between the debate moderators and the Harris campaign. However, these allegations are gaining traction online, and we deserve answers.” She went on to highlight that Davis, one of the moderators, shares a personal connection with Harris as her sorority sister, further raising suspicions about potential conflicts of interest.
For conservatives, this revelation isn’t just about one debate—it’s about a systemic problem with mainstream media. The allegations, while still unverified, echo long-standing concerns about media bias, particularly against Republicans and former President Trump. If true, it would confirm what many on the right have suspected for years: that powerful media networks are not merely left-leaning but actively working to manipulate political outcomes.
Rep. Meuser is determined to bring this issue to light through a Congressional hearing. “We need to find out what the truth is,” Meuser said. “And the thing is, we all saw it. We don’t even need a hearing to know what happened. But we’re going to do it to provide some evidence as to how manipulative they really are.”
This potential scandal, if proven true, would not only undermine public trust in the media but also further polarize an already deeply divided nation. The American people deserve a press that holds all candidates accountable equally, not one that is willing to play favorites behind closed doors.
With Congress set to investigate, it remains to be seen how ABC News will respond and whether the whistleblower’s allegations will be verified. Either way, this issue is bound to stir the pot in the ongoing battle for fair and transparent journalism.
