When JD Vance and Tim Walz take the stage for next week's vice presidential debate, CBS News says it will be up to the candidates, not the moderators, to fact-check each other.

CBS News, hosting vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz for the general election campaign’s third debate next week, says it will be up to the politicians — not the moderators — to check the facts of their opponents.

    “No holds barred” is still an honest fight.

    “No facts checked” favors the opponent who has no real principles or policy to defend. It’s like walking in the ring shotgun and the refs being like okay y’all on your own.

    It’s gonna be an absolute shit show and basically be a demonstration on how well can a liar Vance lie without being too obvious about being a liar. Best we can hope is that Walz will make it very obvious.

    Hopefully there will be a second or 2 to slip in something of more substance while we wipe the shit off our faces.

      Here is how you win. Prepare for lies. Do a quick fact check during each round and then punch him in the face with the truth. Laugh at him regularly for being a lying clown. Treat Vance with no respect.

      Vance and Trump keep making the same lies even after they’re debunked, so Walz could make a bingo card ahead of time.
