I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?

Who’s surprised he’s trying to chicken out?

    Would the moderators actually do their job for once and call it out

    That’s actually not the job of moderators. This idea that moderators should do fact-checking only came about in 2016 because of Trump.

    The network probably should have a team of fact-checkers. But fact checking in real time isn’t easy.

      I would like to have the moderators do anything at all, though, that would be nice. Like cut off a candidate who goes over time. Maybe force candidates to answer the question asked or forfeit their time.

        I feel like this would be an actually valuable application of AI.

          The problem with that is that AI itself is unreliable and will be confidently incorrect all the time.
