Less than a week into the debate about ABC’s selective fact-finding at the debate, we hear this from Linsey Davis herself. Here is the story:
ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
As Breitbart News noted, Davis and co-moderator David Muir fact-checked Trump seven times — often incorrectly — while never fact-checking Harris once, even when she used hoaxes, such as the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax.
Davis told the Times that ABC had deliberately targeted Trump — and only Trump — because of perceptions that he had been allowed to get away with false statements in the CNN debate against President Joe Biden in late June.
Poor CNN. Now ABC is blaming them too.
First, thanks to Linsey Davis for admitting that the fact-checking was selective indeed. No more suspense or questions about that.
Second, who made the decision at ABC that the fact-checking would be selective? Did Davis and Muir make that call? Or did the word come from up in the newsroom, the organization, or who knows where?
Mark Penn is right that we need an investigation. Better than that, maybe someone at ABC can accept responsibility and tell us how something like this could happen.
I hope that Davis & Muir understand that Trump’s attacks against fake news just got stronger after that ambush.

We remember Peter, Paul & Mary
The wonder Peter, Paul and Mary are still my favorite folk music trio.
Mary Travers had a beautiful voice and it blended so well with Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey. They were the soft alternative to The Rolling Stones and Jimmi Hendrix. Their lyrics were thoughtful and easy to understand.
PP&M recorded many albums and songs like Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the wind" or John Denver's "Leaving on a jet plane".
I love their songs......

1620: Remember the Mayflower
History is ugly but it is also beautiful. The Mayflower is one of those beautiful chapters.
This week, we remember one of the most important dates in the history of the US and religious freedom.
It started when a group of people boarded the Mayflower in 1620. They landed at the tip of modern Cape Cod 66 days later.
It is such a beautiful story, especially when one remembers that half of the colonists died in the new land. Nevertheless, they persevered and eventually celebrated what we now call “Thanksgiving.”
Long live the Mayflower.

Happy Mexican Independence Day to all of our Mexican friends
"Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launches the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or "Cry of Dolores," The revolutionary tract, so-named because it was publicly read by Hidalgo in the town of Dolores, called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land, and racial equality. Thousands of Indians and mestizos flocked to Hidalgo's banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and soon the peasant army was on the march to Mexico City. (History.com)The rest of the story is very interesting. I spent a couple of years in Mexico It was a lot fun observing independence activities south of the border.
