Walter IV: “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.”

I have said all along that I think Biden will win in November; I know he is the only choice to preserve this disgrace of a democracy. And still, this is terrible. It is shameful. That this is the best we have on both sides? The moderators refuse to moderate. It’s fucking ridiculous.

Weak.

As a longtime facilitator, I don't think we have the same definition of the word.

Then, as I said elsewhere, I don’t understand why in the hell there are journalists moderating. Have Ryan Seacrest or Pat Sajak do it.

They aren’t facilitating anything. They are merely acting like a teleprompter.

There's been nonstop egregious factual claims from Trump, and the number they've checked has been somewhere between fuck-all and zilch.
