“ABC’s moderators turned the debate into a truth-policing circus,” claimed an irate Trump supporter on social media. “We wanted a fair fight, not a fact-check fest!”

Enter NBC Comcast, swooping in to defend the honor of the former president and, apparently, the entire nation. Just days after the debate, NBC Comcast did the unthinkable: they blacked out ABC from their cable and streaming services, leaving millions of viewers to wonder why their regularly scheduled dose of The Bachelorette or Good Morning America had been replaced with nothing but static.

In a scathing press release, NBC Comcast explained their decision. “ABC has crossed a line,” the statement read. “Their so-called debate was a disaster. They owe the American people an apology for turning what should have been a fair and balanced exchange into a farce of journalistic arrogance. Until such an apology is issued, we refuse to air any of their programming.”
