As expected, Owens’ comments didn’t go unnoticed by the mainstream media, with several outlets defending Muir and Davis against her accusations. ABC News responded indirectly, stating that the network’s moderators were simply doing their job by ensuring that the candidates were held accountable for their statements.
“Moderators have a responsibility to fact-check candidates, especially when misinformation is spread,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement. “David Muir and Linsey Davis performed their duties professionally and impartially, as they always do.”
However, Owens and her supporters weren’t buying it. They argue that the media’s idea of “fact-checking” has become synonymous with attacking conservative viewpoints while giving liberal candidates a free pass.
“What they call ‘fact-checking’ is really just interrupting one side and letting the other slide,” Owens said during a guest appearance on a conservative podcast. “If you’re going to fact-check, do it equally. Don’t pretend you’re being neutral when everyone can see you’re playing favorites.”
