It is the opponent to be the fact checker.

Sorry, I can see how that could be misinterpreted.

Crowley didn’t fact check, she took sides.

That is exactly right. Most will claim, that although they are bias in every aspect of their reporting (Gwen Iffil, Martha Raditz, the entire CNBC goon squad), that they can be unbiased while moderating in the general election.

Yet, the RNC does nothing short of capitulating to these leftists by agreeing with every moderator the libs want. It turns into a 90 campaign commercial for the libs.

“Candy Crowley fact-checked a statement live during a Romney-Obama town hall debate.”
Yea, and wasn’t she wrong???

Does it matter? The damage has already been done.

Yes it matters as my point being that moderators have no business “fact checking” the debaters in real time.....especially when their comments prove to be erroneous.

Yeah well, it’s an effective strategy to hurt your opponent and the moderator is working for Hillary.
