From the September 10, 2024, edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co.

STUART VARNEY (HOST): According to a study by Media Research Group, the moderator of tonight's debate, that’s David Muir, he has given nothing but positive coverage to Harris. Ninety-three percent of his coverage of Trump, of Trump, has been negative. What are you expecting tonight from the moderator?

TODD PIRO (FOX & FRIENDS FIRST CO-HOST): If they want to keep their ABC audience which, you got to keep in mind, that show World News Tonight is number one.

VARNEY: It is. 

PIRRO: So, obviously that audience likes that content. Very anti-Trump, very pro-Kamala. So they run the risk of if they are down the middle, people are going to be like, "oh, I'll turn on NBC. You gave Trump too much credit." So, I'm curious as to whether or not they're going to do their jobs, which is 50-50, right down the middle, act like debate moderators, or is going to be an infomercial for Kamala, meaning Donald Trump's going to have to battle both Kamala and the refs.
