Same as the previous two debates - the candidate that is constrained by not being a massive fucking liar will always be at a disadvantage because the moderators have abdicated their responsibility to do their jobs and fact check.
I think Walz improved as the night went on, he seemed a little nervous and needed to slow down a bit but he came across as relatable and human. That’s something Vance isn’t able to do.
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.
