'4chan come to life': How Fox News, CNN, Taylor Swift reacted to wild Trump-Harris debate (www.azcentral.com)

"In the end, we all knew what we knew before, that ABC's goal tonight was to help Kamala Harris, and ABC did help Kamala Harris," Laura Ingraham said on Fox News. That's one way of putting it. Van Jones on CNN found another.

"She whupped him," Jone said. "She just whupped him. ... Kamala Harris did something great for every parent in America. She put the bully in his place."

A certain super gigantic galactic pop star seemed to agree. Moments after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Harris, signing her Instagram post "Childless Cat Lady," a reference to a comment made by Trump's running mate, JD Vance.

For more details on the 4chan nature, head over to the Daily Beast for pieces like these:

and ABC did help Kamala Harris

Lol, one debate where Trump is held accountable for his blatant lies and suddenly its a mass conspiracy. Theyve lost the plot entirely.

Yeah, but now it gets really weird:

Totally normal response': Trump blasted for threatening ABC's license after debate flop -- [archived]

ABC took a big hit last night," Trump told Fox News. "I mean, to be honest, they are a news organization, they have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that."

If you missed it, I highly recommend watching it. High drama. Great visual reactions that you'll miss if you only hear or read it. Just for fun, here's a composite image of Daily Beast posts that were flying up as I read reviews elsewhere:
