A lie, of course. CNN Debunks Claim That It Will Deploy a 1- or 2-Minute Delay During Its Debate - Alex Demas - The Dispatch A viral tweet claimed a delay would allow the network to ‘edit parts of the broadcast.’ By Alex Demas Published June 27, 2024 Aviral post on X claims that CNN will broadcast tonight’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden with an elongated delay. “BREAKING: CNN will implement a 1-2 minute delay for tonight’s presidential debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast,” reads the post, which had more than 2.4 million views as of Thursday evening. The tweet was shared by prominent accounts, including by Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, and Donald Trump Jr., though both deleted their tweets. 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 — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) June 27, 2024 CNN’s communications team quickly denied the claim, stating in a response that the debate would be broadcast live. “This is false. The debate will begin live at 9pm ET,” it said. This is false. The debate will begin live at 9pm ET. — CNN Communications (@CNNPR) June 27, 2024 While CNN’s statement confirms that a 1-2 minute broadcast delay will not be used, it does not specify whether a shorter delay could be implemented. Networks often broadcast live programming with a standard delay—typically around 7 seconds—so that producers can prevent unwanted content such as profanity or nudity from airing. The Dispatch Fact Check was unable to confirm whether CNN would use such a delay during tonight’s broadcast.
