CBS News, hosting vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz for the general election campaign’s third debate next week, says it will be up to the politicians — not the moderators — to check the facts of their opponents.
CBS is owned by Paramount Global who splits their “donations” between parties (heavier toward Democrats). Are we tired of being governed by corporations, yet?
so theyre gonna let trump lie to his hearts content and walz is just gonna have to listen to him.
Extremists (hint: not Tim Walz) will be able to just spout lies the whole time, and rational, honest candidates: (hint: not JD Vance) will have to either let them get away with complete bullshit assertions, or spend part of their time doing the job of the moderators… This is why no one believes in Journalism these days…
Let him get away with it, there’s only so many lies that you can prepare for and getting a fact check wrong is worse than just lying
*CBS is announcing that it will allow the Couchfucker to Gish Gallop.
Fixed that title for you.
Bunch of weak ass bullshit.
Ya this is a dumb move by CBS because it compromises the legitimacy of the debate… But I know Tim Walz is going to wipe the floor with this couch fucker.
It compromises the legitimacy of CBS. How can they be okay with blatant lies being aspired on its network?
Is the journalist in the room with us?
Waltz: Vance I heard you fuck couches for fun.
Vance: NO I DON’T
Waltz: That’s not proof. If you’re gonna fact check me you gotta provide proof! Clearly you fucked couches!
Walz would be way more subtle than that.
hey. So glad you got off the damn couch.
And
Oh. Meant to ask you. How was the tour of Ashley Furniture? Find any attractive couches?
Edit:
didja get any good recipes from RFK?
Fucking candy asses. Call Kyle Clark. He will show those absolute wieners how it’s done.
I’m not looking forward to the day that Colorado loses Kyle but I am certainly looking forward to the day that he gets to moderate a presidential debate. Kyle is amazing.
I’m glad Amanda is for Democracy… But why is she (apparently) for embedding a landscape video inside her portrait video that doesn’t fit on my screen, so now it’s scaled down to 1/9th my TV’s viewable area?
The whole intro part didn’t add anything anyway, so it just made the viewing experience worse for no reason. That was frustrating. Still, every debate should be like that one.
Fucking cowards. We saw how quickly fascists crumble when you fact check them. Why won’t CBS want to do that?
Because they want to help the fascist.
Something about ten dudes at a diner table with an eleventh who is a nazi.
So Walz will try to find the lies and Vance will claim everything is a lie since they can’t stop him?
Yeah, this system makes no sense. How are they supposed to fact check each other?
“That’s a lie.” “Not uh.”
You see, one party lies with every breath. So they are not supposed to fact check “each other”…
So what the fuck do we need CBS for again?
Colbert?
Hey, let’s get Stephen to do the live fact-checking!
But they aren’t doing any fact checking
Have two mods. Late Night Steven and Colbert Report Steven.
Fair and Unbalanced
Shut up and take my money
I would pay money to watch that
He did a live show after the Trump-Harris debate. Perhaps he’ll do another!
Yep, he’s planning on doing a live show right after the VP debate. He announced it on a recent episode.
Oh, how splendid!
If CBS suddenly disappeared, Colbert could go anywhere he wants I bet.
No bet. Colbert would be juuuuust fine.
Heaven forbid journalists do… you know, their jobs?
We Report, You Decide
We report what we want you to decide
Walz should just bring a fucking airhorn
Would they really have the time to fact-check the gish-gallop Vance will ejaculate on them? That’s just not even feasible to get through the more egregious lies. He already said he just makes shit up. This will be the largest public face-time he will ever have (hopefully) and it all but guarantees he will shamelessly dial the horseshit up, if not just for sound bites.
And yeah, I decided to use that word.
