Owens, who has built a significant following by critiquing what she calls “woke culture” and biased reporting, zeroed in on Muir and Davis after their performance during the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The debate, already mired in controversy, became even more of a media circus as Owens took to Twitter to blast the ABC moderators for what she perceived as a one-sided approach to their roles.
“David Muir and Linsey Davis are a disgrace to journalism,” Owens tweeted. “What we witnessed wasn’t moderation—it was a blatant attempt to help Kamala Harris. They didn’t even pretend to be impartial.”
This isn’t Owens’ first rodeo when it comes to battling the mainstream media. Over the years, she has become a lightning rod for both support and outrage, never hesitating to call out what she views as the left-wing bias permeating major news networks. However, her decision to target Muir and Davis, both widely regarded as respected news anchors, has added fuel to an already fiery discourse surrounding media impartiality.
During the debate in question, Muir and Davis fact-checked Donald Trump repeatedly, a move that Owens and other conservative figures argued was unnecessary and partisan. While fact-checking has become a norm in modern political discourse, Owens claimed that the moderators focused excessively on Trump, allowing Kamala Harris to avoid scrutiny for some of her own statements.
