Analysts give both candidates mixed marks -- except on Fox News
The debate showdown between President Trump and Joe Biden produced some sharp contrasts Thursday night, but none as drastic as the divide that emerged in the television worlds post-debate analysis with Fox News delivering one worldview and most of the rest of the TV news ecosystem presenting a starkly different one.
Fox News commentators who immediately followed the debate suggested it was unlikely to sway many undecided voters. But their more moderate remarks were quickly washed away when Trump ally Sean Hannity delivered an hourlong beatdown against Biden, who the Fox star falsely insisted had been caught in lie after lie after lie.
Hannity devoted much of the rest of his program to a disquisition on unsubstantiated allegations about Bidens son Hunters overseas contacts as an energy consultant.
It would be hard for the average viewer to believe that Hannity was watching the same debate as the commentators at rival CNN or NBC, the network that sponsored the debate and provided the moderator, correspondent Kristen Welker.
