Debates NEVER have fact-checking by the moderators. Biden had plenty of time to challenge Trump's statements.

NO, CNN didn't make Biden look smaller.

NO, CNN didn't make Biden's mike not work.

NO, CNN didn't let Trump go over his time limits.

Biden had a bad performance. That's what needs to be fixed.
