Fox Information anchor John Roberts attacked CBS Information anchor Margaret Brennan for fact-checking Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) all over the vice presidential debate.
All through the debate, Vance accused the moderators of breaking the rules as a result of repeated instances of Brennan and Norah O’Donnell reality-checking the Ohio senator. Then again, CBS’ rules as equipped to the campaigns didn’t include any prohibitions on fact-checking, with the network planning all alongside to offer truth-checking in actual time on-line and in put up-debate commentary. The moderators were additionally free to “facilitate” discussions and step in with reality exams if an “egregious” error was mentioned by both candidate.
At one level all through the controversy, both Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) had their microphones muted after the moderators truth-checked Vance for feedback he made on Haitian immigrants in Ohio.
Whereas interviewing Karl Rove on Wednesday, Roberts claimed that Brennan was once “condescending” all through her fact-checking of Vance.
ROBERTS: All right. So there you had three issues taking place. First of all, the fact test, JD Vance, once they stated that they weren’t going to, then they minimize the microphones just as it was getting just right. And then that was a moderately snide, condescending sneer I believed that Margaret Brennan had when she mentioned, “Thanks for explaining the legal course of.”
ROVE: Yeah. No. The major dominant media didn’t seem good remaining evening in this regard. And you understand — make up your thoughts, you’re both going to reality test or no longer reality check. And for those who do, truth test, at least fake like you’re, you’re doing both sides because there have been things that the Governor Walz stated that have been obviously not accurate.
