Thoughts on the debate? - eviltoast

CBS refusing to fact check was a travesty, but at least they still called Vance out on the immigrant bullshit.

    Was it the moderators decision to not fact check? Considering they still called out Vance that one time makes me wonder if they were just as annoyed by it as we were, but needed to keep their jobs

      I’m sure the instruction came from higher up. Trump is great for business, he drives engagement, so more viewers, so more ad revenue.

      If the moderators are OK with this, as in they’re not speaking out, then I’d hesitate to call them journalists.
