Somebody mentioned in another pos that the Presidential Debates Commission has stated that the moderators should not fact check the candidates.
What this translates to is "The candidates can lie with impunity" after all if fact checking is the responsibility of the other candidate, and they are allowed to lie then any comment will literally come down to "My opponent is wrong".
So, as the "Debates" are going to be reduced to the level of school playground arguments, perhaps we should change the format.
I think it would be much more entertaining to have the "Debates" use the format of children's TV Game shows. Give the "contestants" buzzers and ask them quick fire general knowledge questions. When one of them gets so many wrong answers then you dump the slime or custard from above onto them.
It would be as informative as a non fact checked "Debate" but does away with the pretence of being serious, and could be much more entertaining.
