ABC News has been accused of election interference because the network blurred out information about former President Trump's campaign on his podium as he delivered a speech on Tuesday evening at his Mar-a-Lago Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In case you were beamed up by Scotty to the planet Ross 128 for the last several months, you might not realize that Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to "hush money" payments to a porn actress and another woman prior to the 2016 election. He pleaded not guilty to each trumped up count and claimed he never had any extramarital affairs, if you can believe that, but who cares?
The former President spoke for 27 minutes and tore into Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a guy who lets murderers walk but people making bookkeeping errors get indicted, especially if they're made by Trump or his bookkeeper.
Anyway, ABC News was among a number of networks that aired the speech, but the woke Disney-owned network blurred out a text number that could have been used by people interested in donating to his 2024 presidential campaign.

That text number is 88022. ABC blurred it out as they covered the speech, so you couldn't see: "TEXT TRUMP to 88022."

So ABC was quickly hit with accusations of election interference because they manipulated the news, as is their wont. But some people, like Charlie Kirk, saw what they had done and responded accordingly on Twitter:
It wasn't as if ABC blurs out campaign information as a rule. When brain-addled Joe Biden was a candidate in 2020, his podium was shown during to have that type of contact/donation information at campaign events.

Is this Election interference from your mothership, @abc15?So, while Biden has his donation information clearly depicted by ABC, Donald Trump's "TEXT TRUMP to 88022" was not shown and viewers of the network never got to see "TEXT TRUMP to 88022."

ABC News has not commented on the decision to prevent its viewers from seeing Trump’s campaign contact information and deciding for themselves whether or not they were interested in donating to him.
Meanwhile, Trump hauled in millions of dollars in donations prior to his Mar-a-Lago speech in spite of viewers of the Democrat network failing to show "TEXT TRUMP to 88022" to their viewers.
