CBS “moderators” abdicate role as journalists

If a (likely GOP) candidate tells a lie, it’s not “debating” for the moderator to take a moment to point out it has no basis in reality. That’s part of keeping the discussion on track rather than wasting everyone’s time with a de-rail meant to distract from the question at hand.

You’ll notice that liberals, progressives, and Democrats have no objection to the moderators doing this as part of their job. Conservatives and Republicans, however, do make your objection. Why do you think that is?
