F3SS Posted September 16 #1 Share Posted September 16 (edited) Quote With co-moderator David Muir, Davis had studied hours of campaign rallies and interviews to prepare for the much-anticipated event at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center, and were ready to counter the candidates’ most egregious statements. Davis, wearing pink glasses while speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race. “People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis said. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2024-09-11/linsey-davis-abc-news-harris-trump-debate Well there you go...

The bias of the moderators is pretty glaring. The simple fact is trump aka convicted felon man pretty much cant open his fly trap without lies spewing out its a well known trump go to anyone who denies it is intentionally lying, very ignorant, delusional or all 3. So if one looks up the harris crushes trump debate lie count both sides the mods cant be blamed because big t lied a zillion times more. So sure most rational logical people are biased against habitual liars. Also in another thread vance admits to lying if it hurts people of color and causes hate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.UFO Posted September 16 #13 Share Posted September 16 Both candidates must be fact checked. If they aren't, that's the definition of rigged. The fact that Trump tells an incredible amount of lies is beside the point. That's like saying NFL referees should only call personnel fouls against the team that's leading the league in personnel fouls, and all their opponents should be able to do whatever they want. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate was giving the convicted felon special treatment, harris herself suggested people go to trump rallies she was trying to help promote him saying people at his rallies were leaving early out of bordom and exhausted from his incoherent babbling. The kind host tried to help trump not make a complete and total idiot ignoramus of himself going on some well debunked racist rant about migrants eating pets but trump shot down the host The canidate who lies the most will in turn get more fact checked which most certainly did happen... trump won most lies at debate Quod erat demonstrandum. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously claiming Harris was truthful about everything she said? I'm saying nobody with a working brain could see it as dishonest. The so called fact checks were simply correcting blatant lies like post birth abortions and eating pets. It would be great to see both sides fact checked on n every point and half the time to accommodate accuracy, but crazy blatant lies that are just stupid are low hanging fruit. Trump's over the top silliness created that situation. It's what happens with people like Loomer and Vance as your advisory team. Republicans should be revolting against the party. Vance, Loomer, MTG, it's a freaking looney bin. Trump's a ringleader for them all. Also, F3ss s thread title seems wildly inaccurate. I'm just not sure how he got that from the article.

Michelle Posted September 16 #18 Share Posted September 16 Harris lies that should have been fact checked during the debate. Harris repeated the claim that former President Donald Trump “intends to cut Social Security and Medicare,” even though he did not attempt to cut either retirement program when he was president, and he has said that he will not cut them in a second term. She referred to Project 2025 — a conservative plan for deeply cutting and overhauling the federal government — as Trump’s “extreme Project 2025 agenda.” Trump has disavowed the project, which he described as “seriously extreme.” The vice president repeated one of her favorite talking points when she claimed “Donald Trump openly vowed, if reelected, that he will be a dictator on Day 1.” He said he was joking when he said he wouldn’t be a dictator “except for Day 1.” continue for many more...

Imagine thinking Kamala somehow won this debate. The fact was Harris was so rattled she couldn't help but repeatedly interrupt despite having a muted rule: VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: That's not true. [mouthed, not audible] FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: In Minnesota, she went out -- wait a minute. I'm talking now. If you don't mind. Please. Does that sound familiar? VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: Don't lie. [lie is audible] FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Putin would be sitting in Moscow and he wouldn't have lost 300,000 men and women. But he would have been sitting in Moscow VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: (inaudible) FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Quiet, please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatetopa Posted September 16 #24 Share Posted September 16 Just now, Michelle said: I quoted this for the people who might not have seen it. Are you claiming she didn't lie at all? Nope, she made false statements and exaggerations. So did Trump, there were many not challenged either. His economy, job production and energy production were not record best ever. He didn't get called on any of that. He was unchallenged on his record. The moderators did not point out that a tariff is not a tax that foreign countries pay and Trump doesn't seem to know that basic economic fact. Even the moderators said they were in a quandary about fact checking. Do you do none at all, or every single statement, or something in between? 6 minutes ago, Michelle said: Don't like the source for the fact check? Here is another.
