“The Other Disaster at the Debate: CNN has escaped much notices for its performance on Thursday. It shouldn’t”

Why Troubling News:

While this article is not filled with fake news, it is rather misleading. The articles calls out CNN, specifically their two debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, for not fact checking Donald Trump enough during the debate, suggesting that they failed viewers. I think this is misleading because Trump tends to tell more falsehoods than Biden and the two moderators fact checking him all evening would lead to discussions about him being censored or unfairly criticized. While fact checking is important, people largely look at those statistics after the debate unless they have heard something during that is verifiably false. Blaming the two CNN moderators for not fact checking him every time and suggesting that that does a disservice to voters is, in my opinion, a bit unfair and misleading.
