"CBS announced over the weekend that moderators Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell will not correct any lies when vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance meet in New York to debate on Tuesday night."

@JeanPoole_AZ Thanks for that information and the link. This is a lick and a promise, as far as I'm concerned — and it represents an abdication of real journalistic responsibility to challenge lies.

@JustRosy Sorry, but I'm unclear what you're responding to in the thread to which you've responded.
-
@wdlindsy yes and hence the challenge. I face it too.
It would be better is the #bigCorp #media and the rest of us tried to follow a strategy of saying twice or three times as much about VP Harris as about the former president in each report. ie bookend all reporting of the lies.
I hope #Walz simple says "folks that's a lie, I have staff that will explain it, let me tell you about facts"; make it a mantra or a drinking game, take a drink every time he has to say it:-)
-
@mral Those are good points. I'll see if I can manage myself to do better at balancing what I share here with good material about VP Harris.

@wdlindsy The link you posted of the article from Dan Rather. If you click on my comment (or just above the body of it, in a blank area), it should open up the thread where you posted that link.

@JustRosy I see the link, and thanks for clarifying. I just don't see anything in what Dan Rather says which indicates that the two men engaging in the debate are more worried about what they look like than anything else.

@wdlindsy Oh! I was referring to Trump/Vance. Sorry, I should have clarified.

@JustRosy I'm sorry I didn't see your point. Since the thread focused largely on Walz-Vance, that's the duo I thought you meant.

@wdlindsy That's totally understandable! I should have clarified! Thank you for asking me what I meant

@JustRosy I do try to respond to anyone who addresses me directly here — well, in most cases, I try to do that. And sometimes, when I really don't understand, I ask for clarification. Thank you for not being offended.
