I'm more interested in the headline about Trump lying during the debate. Not that I doubt it. But more about how the sum total of the response to it is basically "ah well nevertheless".
This is supposed to not only be a democracy, but also THE democracy and all other democracies that are not this democracy are not democracies. Meanwhile a dude just gets on a podium, spews bullshit on national televison debate and gets off scott free. How do western chauvinists live with this.
I assume that it'll probably take at least a few days to work out an exhaustive list, but yeah if you were the new york crimes you'd think you could maybe put your in-progress article on the front page.
CNN had a fact checker after the debate itemize over 30 lies Trump said within the hour. He also said Biden had like 9 lies but never itemized them. I imagine because they were incomprehensible.
Some of the online ones tried to do the Biden ones but the numbers ended up being anywhere between 10-25 depending on whether you counted him changing, correcting, or uncorrecting statistics again later and how generous they were in just going 'that was less a lie and more just nonsense'.
