I can't find anything to corroberate #4. Do you have a reference?
I mean they didn't really correct anything that was incorrectly stated.
But if you insist.
I'm talking about the date and time of it being changed. You wrote:
But from what I can tell, the rules had been set for a couple of months.
Not the op you responded to, but, I suppose, it's a fair question.
Although unsure of the timeline, the fact checking drop is something that was definitely agreed to by both parties before hand.
Maybe they're referring to how "Before the debate, Biden allies tried to pressure the CNN moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, to aggressively fact-check any false statements made by Mr. Trump. CNN leadership made clear that the moderators would facilitate the discussion but that any fact-checking would be left to the candidates.". Like they had a chance to reconsider, but decided to stick with the original terms?
Sorry, I can't find it now. I know I read or heard it around the time of the debate, but have no idea where at this point so I've noted such above. And up until I saw a post here on Lemmy about how much of a train wreck it was early on I wasn't even going to watch the debate at all, because I already know I'm pro-democracy and that is really what this election is all about.
Thank you for fact checking me though, I don't want to be the source of inaccurate information.
