In her latest media attack, conservative commentator Candace Owens has set her sights on two of ABC’s top news anchors: David Muir and Linsey Davis. Known for her strong criticism of mainstream media, Owens didn’t hold back, calling the duo “a disgrace to their profession” after their moderation in a recent high-profile political debate. The criticism, delivered in Owens’ signature blunt style, has sparked intense discussions on social media, with supporters and detractors alike debating whether the anchors crossed the line between impartial journalism and partisan favoritism.

Owens, who has gained a sizable audience by criticizing what she calls “woke culture” and biased reporting, targeted 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 when Owens took to Twitter to lash out at ABC moderators for what she perceived as a biased approach to her role.

“David Muir and Linsey Davis are an embarrassment to journalism,” Owens tweeted. “What we witnessed was not restraint, it was a blatant attempt to help Kamala Harris. They didn’t even pretend to be impartial.”

This is not Owens’ first clash with the mainstream media. Over the years, she has become a focus of both support and controversy, not hesitating to point out what she sees as left-wing bias in major news networks. However, her decision to attack Muir and Davis, both considered respected news anchors, has further fueled the heated debate over impartiality in the media.

During the debate in question, Muir and Davis repeatedly corrected Donald Trump, a move Owens and other conservative figures viewed as unnecessary and partisan. Although fact-checking has become a norm in modern political discourse, Owens argued that the moderators focused excessively on Trump, allowing Kamala Harris to avoid scrutiny for some of her own statements.

“They treated Kamala Harris like she was a guest on The View — all easy questions and free passes,” Owens said in a later video posted to his YouTube channel. “Meanwhile, Trump couldn’t get two words out of the way without them stepping in to correct him. It was a joke.”

Owens’ criticisms of debate moderation have resonated with many on the right, who argue that mainstream media has long favored Democrats. His comments quickly went viral, generating a flurry of responses from both his supporters and those who staunchly disagree with his stance.

Unsurprisingly, Owens’ comments did not go unnoticed by mainstream media, with several outlets defending Muir and Davis from their allegations. ABC News responded indirectly, stating that the network’s moderators were simply doing their job by ensuring candidates were held accountable for their statements.

“Moderators have a responsibility to fact-check candidates, especially when misinformation is being spread,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement. “David Muir and Linsey Davis performed their duties professionally and impartially, as they always do.”

Owens and his supporters, however, were not convinced. They argue that the idea of ​​“fact-checking” media has become synonymous with attacking conservative viewpoints while giving a free pass to liberal candidates.

“What they call ‘fact checking’ is really cutting off one side and letting the other side pass,” Owens said during a guest appearance on a conservative podcast. “If you’re going to fact-check, do it fairly. Don’t pretend to be neutral when everyone can see you’re playing favorites.”

Her comments have sparked broader discussions about the role of debate moderators and the fine line they must walk between holding candidates accountable and appearing biased. While some agree that Muir and Davis may have been too aggressive with Trump, others argue that fact-checking is crucial in today’s media landscape, especially when misinformation can spread quickly online.

As with most issues involving Candace Owens, her comments ignited a firestorm on social media. Hashtags like #DisgraceToJournalism and #StandWithMuirAndDavis began trending, with both sides of the political spectrum standing firm on their positions.

This is not Owens’ first clash with media figures over what she perceives as unfair treatment of conservatives, but this particular battle has gained significant traction, in large part because Muir and Davis are regarded by many as balanced voices in television news. Owens, however, remains unfazed by their reputations.

“Just because someone has been in the industry for a long time doesn’t mean they are beyond criticism,” he said.
