Moderator Linsey Davis admitted later that ABC did not want a repeat of what had happened in the last debate, wherein Trump was given free rein and the moderators limited themselves to asking questions and enforcing time limits. CNN was praised in that debate across the political spectrum for being even-handed."

Of course Turkey thinks it was “even handed”. CNN did *nothing* to correct the gross misrepresentations which flooded out of Trump’s mouth. And as I recall - and I do since I pay attention to such things - CNN was widely mocked and criticized for putting such trash on the air without correcting the falsehoods.

That’s undoubtedly why ABC’s moderators decided to, you know MODERATE the debate, rather than sit there as stooges with stopwatches, unable to discern right from wrong, truth from lies. (It’s not a good look when your “news” is host to a bunch of falsehoods, although I’m willing to admit that Fox has managed to make a business of it.)
