With no second debate between Trump and Biden, each candidate does a town hall with network news.

Savannah Guthrie earns a job in the Biden White House and Fallout continues over social media's

decision to weaponize on Joe Biden's behalf. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty.

So last night, we had two dueling town halls.

It's where you cue dueling banjos because that's basically what it was.

On one side, you had Joe Biden being treated to a massage from George Stepanopoulos.

And on the other, you had what appeared to be some sort of sadistic ritual happening in

which Savannah Guthrie basically whipped Donald Trump over and over and over and over and

asked him to shout, may I have another?

I mean, that was pretty much the dueling perspective.

Like, you knew that this is what was going to happen.

And this is the big problem with the media. Now, listen, does Savannah Guthrie have every right to go after Trump and ask him tough questions? Of course. But the problem is that George Stephanopoulos does not go after Joe Biden and ask him tough questions. So here is the deal. Either everyone ought to get grilled or no one ought to get grilled. Either we ought to have an infomercial for Joe Biden and an infomercial for Donald Trump,

or we ought to have a grilling for Joe Biden and a grilling for Donald Trump. But every single person who works in network news is going to vote for Joe Biden. And so they probably couldn't even identify anyone who's willing to show up and ask a tough question of Joe Biden. The scandal here really is not Savannah Guthrie's treatment of Trump, Although it was egregious, and a lot of her questions I thought were poorly handled.

I thought a lot of her questions were simply bad or irrelevant.
