Was it when they said Hitler didn't really mean what he said about Jews before he became Chancellor? Or when they knowingly printed lies to make the case for an Iraq invasion? Or be stenographers pretty much anytime the cops say anything? Or the IDF?

Yes, Obama had to ask for it. The moderator wasn't about to say Romney was a lying sack of shit on their own. That's my point.

And of course they would never tell voters to vote for the centre left coalition, that would be worse than the actual fascists.

I'm sure they'll rebuild it when they need to do another 'rescue' operation that kills scores of Palestinians.

Love the passive voice there. 'because they've come under attack'. Definitely don't mention who is bombing humanitarian convoys.

It's their fault for naming their town East Palestine. They should be happy Biden didn't authorise Israel to bomb them yet.

Those all happened afterwards. During the debate nobody has ever been told they lied about a particular thing by a moderator.

I've never seen a debate where the moderators did a fact check. You'll see candidates call each other out sometimes, but moderators don't actually moderate. Timing answers to be ridiculously short so nothing of substance can be said is also a perennial feature.

And they're barely letting him do interviews/press conferences. Remember when they were giving Trump shit for doing that?

The Trumpy anti-war stance basically means 'don't send US troops anywhere', they're usually fine with enabling Israel or other 'allies' to prosecute their wars/genocides. Opposition to the Ukraine wars is also more due to them liking Putin's anti-woke stuff instead of some kind of anti-imperialist principle.

The satanic temple usually does stuff like this.
