Bruno J. Navarro: it's easy to debate if all you do is lie

it's easy to debate if all you do is lie

This is why debates usually have moderators. Odd they didn’t do that for this one…

it's the weirdest/poorest decision. let's have 2 people to alternate asking questions, but no moderator.

…with no fact checking.

I can’t watch. Why would they prep Biden to respond to trump’s lies? Just ignore everything he says and tell Americans your accomplishments, and plans for the next four years. Pretend he’s not on stage.

*And no one calls you on it

it's as if he's managed to game the system over the past half-century, who would've thought

And never address the question asked

You have to lie AND make a stupid face

that comes naturally to him

“If there is some egregious fact that needs to be checked or the record needs to be made clear, Jake and Dana can do that," David Chalian, CNN’s political director, told the AP. "But that’s not their role. They are not here to participate in this debate. They are here to facilitate a debate.”

Chalian's statement constitutes a complete refusal to acknowledge CNN's responsibility for platforming a firehose of lies.

That's like saying you don't need referees or umpires in a high stakes game. If nobody calls fouls, there is no recourse when someone cheats.

'they could fact check some real awful lies, but they won't. let's see them spar off instead"

Exactly! In a REAL debate, lies would not be tolerated.

Yeah not sure what you can do when the other guy just does the gish gallop all day and you have like a minute to refute

Rump is very smooth at spinning lies into stories. No pesky consistency required.

a lifetime of practice
