Mr. Trump said in a social media post that the previously scheduled presidential debate to be hosted by ABC News was “terminated” once President Biden dropped out of the race.
The biggest issue is many people will have only seen the first headline and not the update. They got inaccurate information and it won’t be corrected, and the NYT is to blame.
“Cancels” is the wrong verb again. ABC can cancel it, Trump can only decide not to show. ABC and Kamala can go ahead and have a debate with the audience or even put a cardboard cut out in his place and play random quotes he’s made and let Kamala disagree with them. ABC would get views and advertising revenue.
The right neutral verb phrase there is “backs out of”. The one I would pick is “shirks” or “fears”
NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):
Haha I see that new headline. ‘tegrity.
