“the vast majority of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris' media appearances during the presidential campaign were with mainstream outlets”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence confirms that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris participated in debates hosted by mainstream outlets (ABC News, CNN) and that an election occurred, but it provides no quantitative data, statistics, or comprehensive lists of media appearances to determine if the 'vast majority' of their appearances were with mainstream outlets. There is no evidence comparing mainstream appearances to alternative media or social media appearances.
