Debate Reactions and Moderator Critique

The reactions to the recent debate highlight concerns about the moderator's effectiveness and perceived biases. Critics argue that the moderator failed to provide impartiality, allowing unchallenged statements which were claimed to be misleading or outright false. This one-sided approach raises questions about the integrity of the debate and the role of moderators in maintaining factual accuracy, as some believe they should remain neutral and allow candidates to fact-check each other. Issues like the claimed discrepancies regarding candidate positions and lies presented further fuel the sentiment that the debate was more about political theater than an informed discussion.
