Dana Bash did not handle the Harris / Walz interview OR the Biden / Trump debate well. I have zero confidence in her opinions.

[yayamama]

Dana did a horrible job and she had the right as a serious journalist to do the right thing and she failed. Period. I no longer take her or Jake tapper or CNN serious. Gwen Efiel would never not question the candidates now she was a real journalist

[daphnebabcock]

I don't trust CNN period. They doing their best to be fox 2.0. The fact she can write this book, and still "both sides, " when she knows better

[hyperhawk]

According to bash, journalists should fact check during an interview but do no fact checking during a debate? Lady how do you have this job?🤨🤦‍♂️

[ronnicolas]

Ah, yes, this woman has shown a complete inability to fact check, so we should listen to her opinion on the subject.

[AIENTERTAINMENTONE]

I don't need to buy your book I have a brain and eyes to see all of it.

[TurdFerguson-jz]

It’s hilarious the mainstream media still thinks the masses take them seriously

[rickt.]

How can these people call themselves journalists?

[jroysims]

I think the moderator should fact-check.
Keeps everyone honest.

[averageuser]

Dana Bash should not be taken seriously at all lol.

Bash and Tapper did nothing at the Biden Trump debate. I am sure ABC will be more professional. If you are going to act like a lampshade then there is no point being there.

[laqsvil]

Nope Nope and Jake did a HORRIBLE job moderating the last debate. Trump started off blasting over 32 LIES and misleading information and NOT once did they fact check. Dana and Jake's job was to moderate and they couldn't do that right. So Dana can save her lame ol' excuse.

[chacha]

What does Dana Bash know! She truly did a horrible job on the Harris/Walz interview!

[johnminosaslanoglou]

Dana Bash, the very least that must be done is to 'demand' that they answer the question and not parade around with unrelated rhetoric!
"Answer the Question" !!!

[wyclefmarie]

How come Americans are confused about illegal immigration while we immigrants who came here legally expect everyone to come the right way !

[covenantfather]

Why have a debate if facts can't be checked? Waste of time.

[KCBluesJams]

Who cares if she is trying to sell a book 📕 she and journalists need to do their jobs and quit looking for ratings 👍

[howlinhobbit]

we need the League of Women Voters to take over the debates again. they didn’t allow it to be an opportunity for sound bites.

[samson]

Fact check live, if either candidate lies then mute them until they correct their lie or choose to skip the topic.

Dana just needs to go away and take her book with her.
