David Muir, the familiar face behind ABC's "World News Tonight," is experiencing a notable dip in ratings following his role as co-moderator in last week's presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Muir, who partnered with Linsey Davis during the debate, has come under fire for the way the event was handled, and the impact on his newscast's viewership has been significant. According to a report from the New York Post, Muir's news broadcast averaged 6.7 million viewers in the days following the debate-Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week-representing a 12% decrease from his usual 7.6 million viewership. While Muir still managed to retain his spot at the top of the ratings compared to competitors like the "CBS Evening News" and "NBC Nightly News," the drop for ABC was much steeper than the minor dips seen by the other networks.

Critics have pointed out that while the moderators fact-checked Trump several times, often inaccurately, according to some observers, Harris was not given the same treatment. This disparity in approach, where Harris was allowed to push certain talking points unchallenged, has sparked frustration among viewers, many of whom felt the event was slanted. ??

The former president specifically took aim at Muir, stating that the ABC anchor had lost respect from a lot of people for failing to apply the same level of scrutiny to Harris.

Despite retaining a strong viewership, the sharp drop in ratings, combined with the swirling criticisms of bias, could signal more challenges ahead for Muir and ABC's flagship news program. Whether this is a temporary hit or a sign of a longer-term shift in public trust remains to be seen, but Muir's reputation certainly appears to be on shakier ground following the debate debacle.
