Because it was already a popular talking point in the MAGA boards that definitely ARE kept tabs on, and Trump’s running mate brought it up. Not a real stretch.
Do y’all not know how these things operate? In the same way that candidates to debate prep camp over possible questions, the networks do a prep camp over possible answers, and a whole file is collated by simply looking at recent talking points by and around the candidate, and fact-checking those.
Then, in the broadcast control room, as soon as one of the candidates goes down one of these prepared roads, some guy with the eternal stench of cigarette smoke around him barks at an underling to pull up the file on X and push it to the vacant talking heads up front, who then just read it out.
You used to be able to see this happen physically in real-time as an aide would rush up with a note and try to surreptitiously hand it to the moderator, but now it’s all done over the series of tubes.
Was this a talking point of Trump's at a rally or something recent?
That's how. They anticipated he might say it.
Sure, they are lying scum, but if Trump said it recently then they might assume he could bring it up at the debate. That's all.
Because J.D. Vance was talking about this a couple days before the debate. And this very site contains people talking about it in the days leading up to the debate. This isn’t a secret club, anyone can just see what the popular MAGA talking points are by having an intern spend two hours on here.
Hell, and that’s before we get into the AI all the networks are likely “integrating” into their workflow. Y’all really need to understand that we are entering an era where a single person can collate an absolutely MASSIVE swath of data into a neat summary in the time it takes to make a pot of coffee. The networks sure as hell don’t respect you, but they will happily use all the resources you publicly post to get ahead of the curve on the best change-up pitcher in politics.
Good point! Hmmmmm….
Everyone does their part in a scripted play...
THIS!☝️
They didn't they made that up on the spot there's no way they had that knowledge how would they know Trump would even mention that....
They lied through their teeth.
ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis are whores that should never be hired again as journalists.
David, Linsey, how much did they pay you?
She never answered the first and most important question of the night.. Are we better off no than 4 years ago ? (Circle wagons)
To be honest, I can't stand her more than 5 seconds, so watched the highlights later.
Megan Kelly had a very good review/summary: https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1833729138567295198
Yeah, that segment is well worth the watch.

I knew beforehand this would be the talking point. Still I was surprised to be right. 😄
