Mediaite reports:
CNN shut down a claim spreading on X that the debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will air with a one to two-minute delay.
A number of pro-Trump accounts on social media began reporting on Thursday that CNN was putting in the minute-long delay rather than the standard seven seconds for television broadcasts.
Thursday’s debate will run for approximately 90 minutes. It is being moderated by Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. The candidates did agree to some rules, including not having an audience in the studio and microphones being cut when another candidate is speaking.
Read the full article. The claim appears to have originated on the homocon fake news site Gateway Pundit, which recently declared bankruptcy in the face of multiple defamation lawsuits.
CNN has said this will start exactly at 9:00 and there will be no delay. The latest conspiracy theory for the Crybaby Party continues though. It’s what they do. pic.twitter.com/KvNh2Tkjio

This is false. The debate will begin live at 9pm ET.

Watch out — it’s wild out here today — lots of people are falling for misinfo about the prez debate production. To address one of the B.S. claims, no, CNN is not putting the live feed on a 1/2 minute tape delay to somehow protect the elderly candidates

Actually, the rumor is a 2-minute delay to allow editing and insertion of AI material in place of Biden.

CNN has thought of more ways to cheat viewers of a free and fair presidential debate.
It will implement a 1-2 minute delay so that it can cut audio if Trump says something the network doesn’t want Americans to hear. pic.twitter.com/pFCBevwzAi

This is not bullshit. CNN has announced within the past couple hours, 1–2-minute delay. They have changed the rules of the debate at the last possible moment. This is outrageous. CNN has the power to rewrite history. It cannot be allowed. pic.twitter.com/MHvhjWOQ3m

WTF is this? CNN wants a 2-minute delay instead of the normal 7 seconds? WHY? To edit out any Biden senior moments? Remember there is no audience.https://t.co/wM0mWSewe2
