We don't have to accept CNN's shitty debate results [View all]
...they obviously weren't prepared for Trump to spout an endless stream of lies, and it was ridiculous to expect Joe Biden or anyone to counter that in real time.
So many pundits are telling us it wasn't the hosts' job to fact check, but it was so overwhelming, so egregious, that it was just a total breakdown of the event CNN had, themselves, organized.
It's just absurd for a news organization to disavow responsibility for misinformation spread on their own program without one effort to confront those lies and distortions.
Their multi-million dollar a head roles shouldn't be to just cluck their tongues at the chaos they not only created, but took absolutely no responsibility for - before, during, or after the event.
They put on a shitshow and blamed the person who actually respected their format and leveled with viewers. It's all the more the shame on CNN that they (and countless other paid pundits) essentially rewarded the glib liar with whatever they call a win.
