minus-squareFarFarAway@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·6 months agoNot 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?
