'Hard to believe this is real': Opening debate question for Stacey Abrams reeked of 'journalism'

Do you remember when a reporter asked Barack Obama what “enchanted” him the most about his first 100 days as president? The opening question for Stacey Abrams at her debate with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was right up there with that one on the “journalism” scale.

Mollie Hemingway was among those who found it almost unbelievable:

Hard to believe this is real, but apparently it's real. Propaganda fan service of Abrams provided by @chuckwilliams. https://t.co/a69v7r2Dwi

Does this debate moderator work for the Abrams campaign?

Yep, this was actually the opening question for Abrams:

“Ms. Abrams, public opinion polls in our state show support for the right to abortion, Medicaid expansion and banning assault weapons. You are on the side of public opinion in each of these issues. Yet, you are behind in almost every poll. Why?”

Basically Kemp had not one, but two debate opponents:

So the moderator AND Abrams are both debating against Kemp?

The media is working overtime to get Stacey Abrams re-elected. LOL https://t.co/DkIYOPNApf

There’s just under three weeks to go until the midterm elections so the media will ramp up their efforts on behalf of Democrats.

"Why don't people love you like I love you?" would have been more honest framing. https://t.co/jv73s1EEu1

At the end of the day it might not matter if Abrams simply declares herself to be the rightful winner… again.
