Trump didn't do 60 Minutes because they fact check in real time. His VP nominee objected to fact checking at his debate. Seems odd. Why doesn't the FP do a hard-hitting piece on why the Republican Party's candidates object to fact checking?

1. they only fact check on one side AND their fact checks are incorrect

2. they allow the other side to lie with impunity

What Vance objected to was the changing of the rules mid-debate (for him only) and the fact-checkers being full of sh*t. I can't believe anyone would defend CBS or their so-called moderators. National Review had a great article on the general ineptitude of what passes for media тАЬfact-checking."

If they fact check in real time with unbiased fact checkers Trump would be king of the legacy media. Unfortunately lie after lie on Charlottesville, Russiagate, January Pelosigate., inflation, Afghanistan, October 7th, debt vote buying after 3 trillion paying off Dem billionaires тАФ how corrupt and inept can Dems be?? Pretty corrupt and inept.

Good grief. What they object to is fact checking one side and one side only. Get a grip.

Donald Trump didnтАЩt do 60 Minutes because they wouldnтАЩt apologize for their egregious lies 4 years ago when they said he was lying about Hunter BidenтАЩs laptop being real. They said no it wasnтАЩt.

But it was. As everyone now knows.

Now IтАЩve fact checked you in real time.

Also, they edited what he said to make him look bad--thank goodness his people taped the entire interview, AND they just edited Harris' interview to TRY to make her make sense
