MAGA media had been telling viewers & readers that Biden wouldn't debate Trump.
Now that 2 debates have been scheduled, they are probably counting on impaired memory by their regulars.
Additionally, the debate format is highly favorable to Biden. No audiences & microphones turned off when it's not a candidate's turn. How do they break the news that "savvy genius" Trump got rolled? 🤨

Right-wing media claimed Biden would never debate Trump. Now there are two debates scheduled.

After President Joe Biden expressed interest in debating presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, right-wing media claimed Biden is running another "basement campaign" and his “puppeteers” would never allow any debates because it would be the “kiss of death” to the president's campaign. Those claims have followed years of right-wing and mainstream media fixating on the president’s age and mental acuity. On May 15, Biden announced he had accepted an invitation to a CNN debate, and within hours, Biden and Trump mutually agreed to two debates, one each on CNN and ABC.

Sadly, Fox News is not the only mass purveyor of far right MAGA biased news in the US.
Sinclair Broadcasting owns hundreds of US TV stations and does in local markets what Fox does nationally.

"The whole reason Fox News exists is because Roger Ailes worked in the Nixon Administration, which regarded the existing press as the enemy. And Fox was founded to institutionalize the Nixon counter-narrative."
