ABC’s debate moderators' performance in Tuesday night’s presidential debate made CNN’s performance in June look like a master class in fairness, objectivity, and balance. It was exactly the kind of debate moderation left-wing commentators on X have been demanding for months—years, really. They don’t want anything approaching objectivity.
