A joint letter by some of the largest television news networks has implored both President Biden and former President Trump to participate in debates in the leadup to the 2024 presidential election. Dana Loesch says the networks have ulterior motives with the letter.
In a letter signed by TV networks like ABC News, CBS News, C-SPAN, Fox News, NBC, NewsNation, and PBS, as well as other outlets like NOR, The Associated Press, USA Today, and Univision, the media coalition argues that debates — which both Biden and Trump have been hesitant to commit to participating in — are imperative for voters.
“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high. Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation,” the letter read.
However, while speaking about the topic on The Dana Show Wednesday, Dana Loesch argued that the outlets have dollar signs on the mind.
“They’ve been trying to get these debates going. And I think all of the news networks are like ‘Oh, wow, we just realized that this could be a ratings bonanza,’ for them,” she said. “This is where you’re gonna see the media get ignorant. Because if you don’t give the media what it wants, they’re gonna get you. They want eyeballs because they need something to sell their ads on. They have ad time and they need people to buy it. It’s an election year. And if they’re not going to get this debate, then you’re going to — I would imagine you’re going to start seeing some negative coverage happen.”
Loesch continued by noting that — in her opinion — Democrat leaders may be hesitant to have Joe Biden participate in debates.
“Democrats are going to have to concede this and they’re going to have to at least have one debate,” she argued.

I would tune into Dick more for his delightful rapport with Vicky and Jennifer than the news content.
For me, his warmth and integrity came across the airwaves to help set the tone for the day ahead and somehow made the chaos of the world more manageable.
