While watching the POTUS debate, I reflected on Sally Claire’s wisdom:
“If someone says it's raining, and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the f*cking window and find out which is true.”
It appears neither Tapper nor Bash got that memo. Between incompetent moderators, a perennially lying Donald Trump, & a President Biden unable to articulate his point—we all lost

@QasimRashid I completely disagree because for one thing quoting them both and then pointing out the truth raises one while warning about the other! It highlights that one is lying.
And second, debate moderators are there to moderate the debate, their job is not to fact check as that would involve them in the debate.
That's not their job. They would undermine their role to engage in the debate like a referee that chooses a side in a sports match.

But then again: if everyone is allowed to lie all they want - why have a "debate" in the first place?
