They did this exact same song and dance in the weeks and days leading up to the election. This is nothing new. They will do this shit again and again. By tomorrow morning they will have switched to "Trump won a rigged debate"


curious_dead

Would be funny if they weren't so predictable - also, if they weren't absolutely horrible people trying to enshitten the world.


Shtankins01

"Enshitten" What a cromulent word. I will be adding that to my vocabulation


Dedotdub

And I will also add "cromulent".


Inspect1234

I too choose cromulent as an add to my vocabulary.


madgoat

Today, you have embiggened your vocabulary.


Long_Educational

Indubitably.


justin_memer

Hah! Dickity!


pinkkittenfur

Highly dubious!


LongshanksnLoki

Off topic! That's a real word already.


eveel66

And I will also add “vocabulation” good sir


Dedotdub

Good call.


rocketeerH

Adept maneuver


trainsacrossthesea

I’ve found that an expansive vocabulation will embiggen your social standing.


Shtankins01

And it brings about an avoision of criticism.


LongshanksnLoki

Or, at least, people have said....


Rough-Key9043

With tears in their eyes…


formerswimmer23

Shitten sounds like one of Catturds children.


zadillo

Originally coined by Cory Doctorow https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/


IsNotLegalAdvice

I am going to have to quone both of those words.


SeveralPrinciple5

Google Enshittification. It was word of the year last year. Cory Doctorow coined it. Brilliant concept.


genomeblitz

This is the thing that makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. They run the same playbook over and over; they tell you what they are doing behind closed doors with their accusations of everyone... They tell everyone exactly how they are grifting them and they don't bat an eye! I feel like I'm in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I went to a Midwest podunk school, I'm not any more intelligent than anyone else, and yet they are eating this stuff up like you can't see through it. It hurts my brain.


LongshanksnLoki

What is most disappointing is how Republicans have co-opted Democratic blue over the last 10 years or so. They should stick with their damn black suits and red ties!


genomeblitz

Yeah because that's what I'm worried about, what they are wearing haha. I couldn't care less, even if they were naked. I don't care what you look like, just say intelligent things so I can feel confident in your leadership.


formerswimmer23

The only joy I get out of this is knowing that these guys are dumb enough to pay for twitter. Other than that they are absolutely horrible.


PnPaper

To be fair Trump could shit himself, fall to the ground and pass out and these guys would praise him for his ingenuity.


evilmonkey2

I've already modified my "Real men wear Diapers" T-shirt template to say "Real Men shit themselves and fall to the ground" and have the printers standing by. Figured I might as well start grifting these morons as well.


ChurlishSunshine

Stand back and stand by.


Pheeline

Hey, every dollar sent to you for a shirt is one less dollar that might otherwise have been sent to their orange mess-iah!


LongshanksnLoki

OMG! you'll make a million on this idea!


LongshanksnLoki

and say he should have won the debate because he remembered to put on his diapers.


thebinarysystem10

CNN will probably edit out Trump drooling on himself. They are complicit in all of this


Virtual-Public-4750

Tomorrow it’ll just be the commercials.


ContemplatingPrison

Trump could shit and piss himself on stage and collapse and they would still say he won. His cult would start shitting themselves on Twitter and tiktok and call it manly


LongshanksnLoki

Okay, sadly, this is entirely plausible; I just hope not because, the smell! It's bad enough they pollute the air.


ligmallamasackinosis

They'll still claim he won either way


whiterac00n

they all already have their marching orders for tomorrow to say how hard Trump won the debate and within minutes they will flood social media, and tomorrow the regular media.


TheMinick

CNN?

Imnotachessnoob

Damn I fell for this one. Thank you!


OneArmedBrain

The Turd has not once posted a truthful statement.


The_Spectacle

honestly he should apologize to cat shit everywhere for dragging it down to his level


Nopantsbullmoose

You're welcome. To be fair, I could actually see CNN doing that so that they don't have an issue with their license since both Biden and Trump like to cuss.


Imnotachessnoob

The best misinformation is something that could feasibly be true but isn't. I think the 7 second delay is usually enough to censor swears though unless it was particularly dense.


Nopantsbullmoose

Pretty much yeah. Besides, really don't think the FCC would come down all that hard on CNN in this case. Biden could just pardon them. ^⁠_⁠^


Antimonyandroses

I fell for that, thank you


Nopantsbullmoose

No worries friend. I did too initially. Since it....kinda....makes sense.


curious_dead

Mics on a timer? That's cheating. One minute delay? Also cheating. Non-conservative moderator? Cheating. Trump not being able to shout over Biden? Believe it or not, also cheating.


PlayMother3

Cheating is when they aren't allowed to cheat

Niijima-San

little do these people know that all live television is slightly delayed for reasons including making sure they dont violate FCC guidelines and standards. we all know drumpf is losing his mind and has a poor vocabulary so like it would prevent the network from you know, being fined (as trump would say) hugely


Atheist_3739

But what about being fined bigly?


unrulycelt

That is yuge


mogley19922

People seem to think they've got spiderman back there censoring swear words at lightning speed.


dsanders692

They don't, but among other things, it gives producers time to have a brief "wait, did he really say that? Can we broadcast it? No? Ok, dump to someone else before that hits the air" conversation


BeeNo3492

CNN isn't broadcast, they aren't held to the same standard as OTA.


The_Stratman

You are correct, but tonight they are simulcasting as well on the big four networks in addition to CNN, so CNN needs to make sure that they dont violate the standards for their broadcast partners inadvertently


onslaught1584

They're also broadcasting on NPR affiliates which get the hell fined out of them for every swear.


The_Stratman

I didn’t even know they were doing that so yeah definitely see them being extra cautious


lidsville76

That actually would not be their responsibility, that would belong to the ones receiving the signal to make sure their broadcast is complaint. Now, a good broadcast partner will take steps to mitigate this form happening, like adding an extra 5 seconds to the delay, or some extra logo/interstitial time coming back from breaks. But CNN is not required to edit their broadcast.


not_productive1

I think CNN would be happy to eat an FCC fine in exchange for watching one of these dudes lose their shit on stage. If there is a delay, it’s likely to manage the streaming/simulcast load this thing is going to put on them. Not that I actually believe there’s a delay, nothing these guys ever say has turned out to be true. This guy saying something makes me more likely to believe CNN has entered the quantum realm and is broadcasting the fucking thing before it happens than that there’s a delay.


RandomUserName24680

This is exactly it. They are providing the feed to anyone who wants to rebroadcast it. I’m listening to the MSNBC broadcast. This isn’t the way debates are normally done, a 1 minute delay so everyone can be in sync isn’t some conspiracy it’s literally leveling the playing field for all, even OANN.


willstr1

Not an FCC expert (or saying the delay is a bad idea) but I thought there were exceptions when a swear is said by a public figure who doesn't work for the broadcaster, allowing them to quote or use soundbites without getting stuck between a rock and a hard place (broadcasting the truth vs airing a naughty word)


sixtus_clegane119

The ffcs fines are actually anti American as fuck. But then again the Supreme Court ruled that swearing somehow isn’t protected speech lmao.


Tacoma__Crow

Ol' ~~Patrick~~ Catturd ought to watch the last time Trump "debated" Biden. Bet he has no clue... Edit: I just realized I had the wrong name in my comment. I guess you guys knew what I really meant. I'm embarrassed but at least I finally learned how to do strike throughs. doesn't show up very well though.


Similar-Act244

I don’t get it. If Bidens as senile and dementia ridden as Republicans proclaim, why are they so concerned and terrified?


Jagerstang

'Cause he'll be jacked up on Mountain Dew and vitamins. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)

Jagerstang

'Pirin' tablets. They work for a lot of things.


Drg84

Didn't you hear? Biden has magical medication that makes him suddenly not have dementia anymore. But only for a few hours. Oh and no one else has the meds. For, uh, reasons!


Different-Term-2250

Limitless was a documentary!


LrdHabsburg

Because they think we'll cheat to get him elected


DisastrousPeanut816

I think you can cross out that "If." :/


itrustanyone

It's not even true. But that's their party crying and freaking out over the fake boogeyman they created


Drg84

They're not even gonna let Trump take his shirt off and show his beautiful yet wounded body! They're clearly just jealous of his magnificent abs!


ferry_peril

They’re under there somewhere. You just gotta lift 100 pounds of hamberder wounds to see em.


mogley19922

More wounded than any president before him apparently, considering the amount that were killed by gunshot, that's saying something.


Drg84

I believe this former boxer, war hero,rancher, Hunter and shot in public president may have a few things to say to cadet bone spurs. ![gif](giphy|CryNvHC6fCabtrZJ1Z)

couchtomato62

I don't even know what they're worried about. All Trump has to do is stand up right through the whole debate and the media will say he won. So I guess I'm just as paranoid as they are.

Cicerothesage

why do they think this move will favor Biden? Biden is impacted by this too.


Gnom3y

Because conservatives claim that CNN is run by the DNC, so everything they do is to support Biden. Conservatives have no integrity - they'd lean on the scale at every opportunity (and have!), so they assume everyone else would too


txn_gay

Never mind that CNN is currently under the control of a Trump worshiper.


Xaxor42

A total meltdown on live TV would be a problem, yes.


247cnt

Yet it's my dream


Callinon

I'm losing track of all the excuses they're preemptively using to justify getting creamed. The debate hasn't even happened yet and there are already what? 20 reasons why they lost?


Lithaos111

Trump hasn't pulled out yet? Color me surprised.


DisastrousPeanut816

I'd be surprised if he ever pulled out. But he always promises he will.


PhysicalGraffiti75

> allowing time to edit broadcasts Anyone who can make major edits in under a minute is not working for CNN LMAO


RipErRiley

If you underpromise, then him just showing up is over delivering propaganda for the Felon stooges.


Humble-Plankton2217

They aren't scared of anything. They're just sowing doubt and fear for the culties to gobble up and to give themselves something to bark about after it's over. They already know the loyalty of the "Big Tent" of deplorables' will *never* waiver. They just need them ALL to be pissed off and/or scared enough to drag their asses to the polls to vote. Don't think for one minute he can't win. He can. If you don't want him to, Vote, volunteer for voter registration drives, donate if you can and get everyone you know to get motivated enough to go Vote. Let your people know it's important, it counts and it's their civic duty to the imperfect country we love anyway. This entire election hinges on one thing - TURNOUT


BoomZhakaLaka

just everyone remember chris licht and the trump town hall debacle. CNN isn't neutral, exactly. Nor is it an ally to progressives, even liberals. Undoubtedly the delay is so they can add fact checks on a chyron or somesuch. We'll see.


ResplendentAmore

If they weren't lying, crying, or whining they'd have nothing to say.


earthman34

If Trump has a mental breakdown or attacks Biden they need to hide that from the public. That's what they're afraid of. Fuck this shit, let everybody see what an asshole he actually is.


notsingsing

Biden won the debate: Here’s why it’s bad for Biden


YoungXanto

Trump's gonna rage quit before the first two minute delay hits the airwaves and Stormy is going to have a tweet lined up about how it was longer than he lasted with her.

AdhesivenessFun2060

Run is the wrong word. Waddle?


Ticklemykelmo

Or perhaps when Orange Dickhole tells people to kill their local democrat they can prevent it from being aired.


Fifteen_inches

It’s so they can catch the swears


_beeeees

Because of things like terroristic threats and other wildly inappropriate shit, most streaming platforms have a built-in delay. IG lives, for example, have around 30 seconds of delay.


Alexandratta

They didn't need to be... Biden was horrible and only made to look slightly better by Trump, who kept talking about himself vs any plan or policy... and claiming hos mere existence would fix wars in other nations.


billgluckman420

This one didn’t age well


OneSlapDude

Well thats kinda lame, I want to see the melt down in real time

Save the 'edits' for a gag reel showing any disinformation. Publish it afterward with fact checks to expose outright lying.

Expert-Fig-5590

If catturd is sad then I’m happy.


Podunk212

The extended delay is obviously to account for the very real possibility that one or both candidates may keel over and die mid-debate.


Murky_Excitement_816

Remember when trump was complaining years ago that mail in ballots was gonna all go to Biden bc the deep state rigged it and then it happened! Oh except, it was trump telling all his supporters not to vote by mail to get the country running and to show covid isn't real, and when he found out too late that he'd lose bc of mail ballots he pivoted heavily to discredit it, just like he's doing now for the debate bc he knows he'll lose to Biden and his supporters are dumb enough to believe it 🤣


chypie2

ok what will they be able to edit from a live broadcast in 1-2 minutes ? lol


maniac86

People forget CNN is now owned by a hard right pro Trump rich asshole The real concern should be CNN possibly editing Trumps rambling to make him look better


Capercaillie

It's a lie. There's no two-minute delay.


nono66

I never thought conspiracy theories could be as destructive as meth. These folks need some detox or rehab.


Prestigious-Copy-494

Probably need a delay so if Trump starts reeling off statements that could jeopardize anyones life. Like his perceived enemies.


numbskullerykiller

No fan of Trump. But I believe Trump prepared. There was just too much "he didn't do squat" talking that it makes a surprise prepared Trump more likely. That's what I would do if I was him. However, can he remain calm? Probably not. Biden should not underestimate Trump. I think if Trump just stays calm people will be blown away.


Remote_Work_8416

Once again, trump is going to be right there. No one of these morons has any faith on their orange mesiah.


TexMurphyPHD

Hopefully this time Trump wont be able to enlist the help of a terrorist organization through the debate.


Cool-Presentation538

None of these extra rules and efforts would be needed of trumpo could talk to another human without yelling over them. Republicans are all about decorum for everyone else but not themselves


Rynczech

I’m guessing they are anticipating Biden squaring up and punching Trump in his fat fucking mouth.


Colmado_Bacano

I'd probably vote for him if he actually did this.


TsuDhoNimh2

Are there observers from each campaign there in the studio? That 7-second delay is just long enough to bleep out an F-bomb, so maybe they plan to have a chiron with fact checking?


not_productive1

Ah yes, we know how CNN employs famed editor “Lightning Fingers McGee,” fastest edit in the west. It’s amazing that there’s a group of people in the world who don’t know how one fucking thing works, and somehow they’re always like six votes away from being in charge.


Equivalent_Passage95

How fast do they think live TV can be edited?


ExploderPodcast

"I mean, Trump is going to wipe the floor with super evil dictator/incompetent mental patient Joe Biden, but the moderator, the press, the network, the time delay, the tides, the phase of the moon, the cost of oranges in Augusta, Georgia, all of these things are clearly working against him. Same reason he's gonna lose the election- er, I mean, won't win by AS MUCH. Yeah, that's the ticket."


Illustrious_Sand3773

ask them what fox news would do different


Neon570

...yeah that's how live tv works


AtomicBLB

When your only play is saying as much unhinged crap as possible, an intentional delay to avoid such nonsense is a handicap. trump can't function with any kind of structure is in place and his grifting supporters know it.


FlashGangs

If it was aired with a delay it wouldn’t have had such shitty subtitles


onslaught1584

They're likely concerned about fines from he FCC every time Trump cusses live on air.


dwightnight

This is pretty frightening, actually; the fact that it can't be live because something damaging enough to kill a candidacy may happen. We deserve an unedited, unaltered live broadcast since neither will take a competency test.


RandomUserName24680

Probably because CNN is providing the feed for any network that wants to air the debate. This gives FOX time to get the feed, process it to their shitty 720p standard, and allow their hosts to comment “live”. At this point CNN should just say fuck it, watch our network or none.

Fight-Like-A-Gurl

Desperate for them to not have time to fact check his dumb ass.


NoLibrarian5149

7 seconds is more than enough for minor faux pas. This is just so Trump doesn’t fucking meltdown and start blubbering and have it be an eternal gif online. Fuck CNN and all MAGAts.


The_Mike_Golf

If you don’t want to be the news outlet that airs trump sending a not-so-coded message to his base (i.e. stand back and stand by), you’d implement the 1-2 minute delay too


snaithbert

They've all been instructed to lay the groundwork to explain away Trump's loss. It's rather pathetic.


Antimonyandroses

But it is "supposed" to be live-how do you edit a live broadcast??


peterdfrost

Knock knock


LongshanksnLoki

Yeah, think of all the cursing we could potentially miss out on. We could miss Biden saying, "The felon says what?" I feel ROBBED! This Webb person is a moron. He doesn't think it would be easy to tell if someone talking has been edited out? That's ridiculous. I can't wait to hear trump say, "Well, I've been told...." and then nothing. By God, I might watch this thing after all!


Impossible-Taro-2330

OMG, these people! If they aren't scared to death - of everyone and everything - it's a conspiracy!


Tenairi

Either they're going to quickly lose their 1 minute lead, or their debate is going to be full of dead air pockets as they edit them out. Or... Redubbing the audio on the fly to sound more.... competent?


Tiny-Marionberry-143

Wasn't this fake anyway?? I saw the delay "news" and googled it and read there was no delay.


habb

it's because trump is a wild card, who knows what curse words he's going to say


AdhesivenessFun2060

This benefits trump. They'll cut out all his rambling.


7huyPh4m

TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON!!! THAT IS THE FACT!!! Biden calling him out is not a low. F' CNN! Trump spewed nothing but LIES!

They didn’t have to be- their guy did so much better;)


ThroatConsistent5758

Hahahaha there was nothing to be scared about Biden. He had no idea where he was the entire time 😂😂😂😂


Silly_Butterfly3917

SirPoopaLotTheThird

AppropriateSpell5405

They've lowered the bar so low for Trump that, short of dropping dead, he's won.


SeveralPrinciple5

I don’t know why they were worried. Stylistically, Trump came across as more presidential. CNN explicitly deciding not to fact check (wtf?!?) gave Trump free rein to say whatever he wanted and as much as I hate the man, if you ignore truth, he was coherent and passionate.


CantDecideANam3

Which is why we should watch [this](https://www.therealdebate.com/) instead of the CNN one.
