Social media users are circulating new evidence suggesting that ABC News engaged in extreme bias with the way it moderated the recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Dated Sept. 9, 2024, the day before the debate was aired live, a partially-redacted sworn affidavit from someone in Manhattan who has worked for ABC News for 10 years "in various technical and administrative positions" says "significant transformations" have occurred at the network since 1996 when it was acquired that have changed for the worse the direction of how news gets reported.
"These changes suggest a shift from unbiased reporting to a model influenced by external factors," the affidavit states.
"For the record, I do not endorse Donald Trump in his capacity as candidate for President of the United States. The intent of this affidavit is to address concerns regarding perceived biases within news reporting within my employer's debate that will be hosted on September 10, 2024."
According to the affidavit, the Kamala campaign imposed major restrictions on the way questions were asked. At no point was Kamala allowed to be asked about the health, or lack thereof, of Joe Biden. Moderators were also prohibited from asking Kamala anything about her tenure as attorney general in San Francisco.
"No questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds and who may be involved in her administration if elected," the affidavit further states.

Bias against Trump
The overall company culture at ABC News is one of "a pronounced bias against Donald Trump," the affidavit continues, noting that employees who express favorable views towards Trump "experience significant concerns about potential retribution."
The stated purpose of the affidavit is to set the record straight by documenting these allegations officially while providing "transparency" about how things really are at ABC News.
The affidavit concludes with one final admission that its signer possesses recorded evidence of a threat the Kamala campaign made to ABC News if its demands were not met.
"Additionally, for further investigation, I have secretly recorded several conversations that will prove that the Harris campaign insisted upon not only the fact checking of Donald Trump, but also insisted on what questions were not to be asked under any circumstances or else the Harris campaign would decline to participate in the debate," it states.
"I hope this guy / gal comes forward soon," tweeted "USMC Lady Vet" (@Arkypatriot) about the affiant.
The X account that shared the affidavit also tweeted that his or her attorney called ABC News directly to see what the network has to say about the claims made therein.
"The ABC denials that have been put out thus far have not denied giving the Harris campaign 'Sample' questions nor has @ABC denied negotiating assurances with the Harris campaign in regards to the Fact Checking of Donald Trump and the special accommodations on Podium and various other aspects of production that was meant to mislead the viewer," the account wrote.
"Furthermore, @ABC has not denied having separate negotiations with the Harris campaign without notifying or including the Trump campaign in those negotiations. And no, My [sic] attorney has not heard from anyone from the left."
The account kind of went off the deep end after that calling people "clearly simpletons" for asking that the full affidavit be released without redactions.
