Trump is shoving the democrat registered moderators into a trap. Any liberal spin "fact checking" he will brand as "trying to save the incompetent weakling ".

This will make them afraid to spin .

Fucking genius.

It's not the Democrat protesting fact checking, it's the idiot you call the Republican nominee.

He's right. That's not the role of a moderator and it can affect the debate. As it did when that fat bitch Candy inserted herself and incorrectly 'fact checked' Romney. The candidates can fact check each other if they want to call bullshit and there's plenty of fact checking by others after.

No she doesnt. Not even close. Once again you are in conflict with the FACTS just like your nominee.

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received. Is that true?”

Comey: “That’s not true, there were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.”

Gowdy:”Secretary Clinton said, ‘I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email, there is no classified material.’ Was that true?”

Comey: “There was classified material emailed.”

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said she used just one device. Was that true?”

Comey: “She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state.”

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department. Was that true?”

Comey: “No, we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned.”

They do not involve themselves in the content of said debate.
Unless, of course, they're biased.

Wrong. That was part of her "marked classified" bullshit. As I otherwise noted, marked or not is irellevant to whether material is classified. Of which we found lots including new material which was not turned over and was not individually reviewed by her attorneys as she claimed.

I remember when they "fact checked" Romney during the debate, just to run cover for 0bama's bullshit about benghazi. We all know how the dems and media-political complex cheat to stay in power. Just ask Burnie. Oh wait, he's one of them now, nevermind.

For more on the fact-checking roles of moderators, I spoke to Alan Schroeder, author of "Presidential Debates: Risky Business on the Campaign Trail." Schroeder has studied decades of debates and has a pretty clear idea of what we should expect from the moderators when Trump and Hillary Clinton face off Monday and then on Oct. 9 and Oct. 19. A lightly edited transcript of our conversation follows.

SCHROEDER: It has not traditionally been the role of the moderator to engage in a lot of fact-checking. Other than the Candy Crowley incident, it really doesn’t tend to happen. I’ll give you an example: In 1976, Gerald Ford very famously said that Europe was not under Soviet domination, and that was in response to a question that a journalist on the panel had asked. And the journalist goes back to him, doesn’t fact-check him but says, “I just want to clarify. Is that what you really mean?” And then Ford went back and more or less reiterated it. So there have been moments where questioners have asked for clarifications of remarks by the candidates, but not so much “you’re right, and he’s wrong.”

THE FIX: Why do you think that is? Because many of the moderators are journalists who, when they’re conducting one-on-one interviews, are accustomed to doing some on-the-spot fact-checking.

SCHROEDER: Well, because it isn’t a one-on-one interview. It’s something very different. I think it is entirely appropriate to do fact-checking in a one-on-one interview, and Matt Lauer ought to have challenged Donald Trump’s assertion about the Iraq war in that interview. But debates are a different animal. First of all, the focus has got to be on the candidates. The journalists are there to facilitate the conversation but not to become protagonists. When a journalist gets involved in that way, all of a sudden it’s a back and forth between a particular candidate and the journalist, and you’ve lost the point of the exercise, which is that the candidates are supposed to be engaging.

Schroeder points out the obvious: voters have plenty of ways to do their own fact-checking, in real time as well as after the fact. He doesn’t mention another point that bolsters his case, which is that news agencies will produce a number of fact-checks after the debate even if voters don’t want to do the leg work themselves. Borchers then asks whether it’s safe to leave that in the hands of the hoi polloi:

THE FIX: The counter to that is you’re counting on voters to do extra work. You’re counting on them to read follow-up articles or perhaps monitor live fact-checkers online during the debate. Is that a reasonable expectation?

SCHROEDER: Look, it’s a democracy, and citizens have responsibilities beyond just watching TV. If the only source of information you’re getting is what the candidates tell you on TV, then that’s your choice. But I think we’d be crazy to take anything any politician said to us at face value and just assume it’s objective truth. The debate is a really important part of the education process during a campaign, but it is not a standalone thing.

"THE FIX: The counter to that is you’re counting on voters to do extra work. You’re counting on them to read follow-up articles or perhaps monitor live fact-checkers online during the debate. Is that a reasonable expectation?"

No, of course not. The only follow-up articles Trump supporters will read will be on Infowars and other shit sites that cover for that miserable con man. Trumptards not only do not want facts, they actively reject them if they accidentally happen to encounter them despite their best efforts. We're regressing to the Dark Ages.

Long ago Republicans stopped eating policy. Soon after they became incapable of debating policy. Now they wish to rid themselves of the burden of facts too.

Pretty soon they are going to object to words and demand we communicate with pictures or memes.
