A Conservative Group Calls on RNC to Drop NBC as Debate Moderator
A major conservative group is urging the Republican National Committee (RNC) to reconsider its decision to have NBC moderate the next presidential debate. Restoration of America Founder and President Doug Truax sent a letter to RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, demanding that the party ”immediately switch gears and retract your offer allowing NBC to moderate the upcoming debate.”
Truax expressed disbelief that the RNC would grant a “conservative smearing, round-the-clock misinformation network like NBC” the opportunity to host a Republican presidential debate. He argued that in a world where the government, Big Tech, and establishment media collude to hide the truth and support Democrats, it is crucial to avoid giving platforms to networks like NBC.
Last week, NBC announced that it would host the third Republican debate on November 8th in Miami-Dade County. The moderators for the event include NBC’s Lester Holt and Kristen Welker, along with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
Truax emphasized NBC’s role in spreading false stories, such as the Russian collusion hoax, racial hoaxes, climate hoaxes, and misinformation about gender and abortion. He accused the network of lying 24/7 about nearly everything.
Concerns have been raised about Welker’s impartiality, given her activist track record at NBC. She previously moderated the final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in 2020. Truax pointed out that Welker lied in an exclusive interview with Trump about the Democratic Party’s platform on abortion and their efforts to indict Trump.
Truax also highlighted Holt’s history as a moderator, including his aggressive questioning of Trump during the 2016 presidential debate while giving Clinton a pass on issues like the classified emails scandal and corruption in the Clinton Foundation.
A recent Gallup poll revealed that a record number of Americans have lost confidence in the news media. Truax cited this diminishing trust in his letter to the RNC and urged them to support conservative media outlets that speak the truth.

How does the call to drop NBC as the debate moderator shed light on the responsibility of media outlets in facilitating political discourse?
Presidential debate for the Republican Party. The decision was met with backlash from conservative groups, who believe that NBC is biased against conservative viewpoints. The Restoration of America group, led by Doug Truax, is now calling on the RNC to drop NBC as the debate moderator.
In a letter addressed to RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Truax expressed his disbelief over the RNC’s decision to allow NBC to moderate the upcoming debate. He described NBC as a “conservative smearing, round-the-clock misinformation network” and argued that it is inappropriate for them to have a role in hosting a Republican presidential debate.
Truax’s argument stems from his belief that the government, Big Tech, and establishment media work together to suppress conservative voices and promote the Democratic agenda. In his view, it is imperative for conservatives to avoid giving platforms to networks like NBC, which he perceives as part of this collusion.
The call to drop NBC as the debate moderator raises questions about the role and responsibility of media outlets in facilitating political discourse. While it is crucial to ensure a fair and balanced debate, it is also important to consider the diversity of media sources and viewpoints represented.
The RNC’s decision to have NBC as the debate moderator may have been influenced by various factors, including the network’s reputation, experience in hosting debates, and reach among the public. However, it is evident that the decision has stirred controversy within conservative circles.
It is essential for the RNC to consider the concerns raised by Truax and other conservative groups. While media outlets have a responsibility to provide unbiased coverage and facilitate fair debates, it is equally important for political parties to ensure that their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed.
As the upcoming presidential debates play a pivotal role in shaping public opinion and influencing the outcome of the election, it is essential to create an environment where open and robust discussions can take place. This entails engaging with media outlets that represent a wide range of perspectives and ensuring that the moderators are impartial and fair.
The RNC should carefully evaluate the arguments put forward by Truax and decide whether NBC is an appropriate choice for hosting the debate. Ultimately, the goal should be to foster an atmosphere where all viewpoints can be expressed and debated, ensuring that the American public has access to a diversity of ideas and perspectives.
