A June 27 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) claims CNN manipulated its live broadcast of the presidential debate.
"CNN will implement a one-to-two-minute delay for tonight's debate instead of the standard seven-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast," reads text within the post.
The post garnered more than 6,000 likes in a day. Similar versions of the claim were shared on Instagram, Facebook and X, formerly Twitter.
