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.”
The statement continued, accusing ABC of overstepping its role as a broadcaster. “Fact-checking in the middle of a debate? Unacceptable. Viewers have the right to hear both candidates speak uninterrupted, regardless of whether what they’re saying is based in reality.”
The blackout sent shockwaves across the media landscape. Suddenly, ABC’s programming—everything from Shark Tank to The View—was off the air for millions of homes across the country. And viewers? Well, they were not happy.
