What do you think of the US presidential debate?
Trump is seriously a master troll. The Dems are just completely unequipped to battle someone who doesn’t play by the same rule books. Seems Trapper and co. were also caught flat footed by allowing him to completely ignore questions and letting him answer on his terms. It was ridiculous
CNN announced they were going to fact check, and then proceeded to not do a single lick of it.
And people claim CNN is trying to prop Biden up? Hell nah they're happily letting him drown
CNN was absolutely not helping Biden. The split-screen shots, allowing Trump to go in different tangents, and then immediately criticizing the President's performance afterwards - they exposed what a lot of people were thinking
Why do you think a split screen shot showing both candidates is “not helping” one of them more than the other?
I feel like with the mics muted and no audience to play to meant that the President could only just stand there juxtaposed with Trump. It really showed how old the President is compared to the more energetic Trump. Mouth sometimes agape, eyes closing, and other such mannerisms all just play into the theme of the night.
The split screen was clearly intended to promote fairness. To avoid giving one candidate more screen time, or even accusations of it.
