Some viewers of ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir are apparently unhappy with how the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris played out on the network.
During the event on September 10, Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis fact-checked Trump several times, but they failed to pounce on Harris with corrections, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
Numerous conservatives have suggested that the debate was not fair, which has reportedly cost the network. The outlet continued:
Muir’s “World News Tonight” averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the three episodes following the debate, after averaging 7.6 million in 2024 leading up to the debate.
The 12% drop in viewers for “World News Tonight” is more significant than slight declines “CBS Evening News” and “NBC Nightly News” saw when comparing the three episodes following ABC’s debate to the year-to-date totals, although Muir’s newscast remained the No. 1 broadcast evening newscast.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood followed through on a promise to publicly release a mug shot and “perp walk” video of an 11-year-old student arrested for making a school shooting threat, First Coast News reported.
“Because you don’t want to raise your kid, so Sheriff Chitwood’s going to raise them,” the sheriff said.
The student, from a Port Orange middle school, was taken into custody after allegedly creating a written list of names and targets. Although the child claimed it was a joke, the sheriff’s office took the threat seriously, recovering airsoft rifles, pistols, fake ammunition, knives and swords that the student had shown off to others in a video, according to the report.
The sheriff’s office published a video showing the student being led in handcuffs from a patrol vehicle into the police station, where he was processed before being placed in a holding cell. Click here to read more.
