and current special correspondent for Vanity Fair, is the author of the book Network of Lies The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump and the Battle for American Democracy. Brian, good to see you again. What did you think of Dana Bash and Jake TAPPER last night? Look, I have a lot of respect for Jake and Dan. I have not talked to them, though, about the debate. I think they were put into this incredibly high stakes, high pressure situation. This entire debate for CNN was really high risk, but also high reward. And I think CNN mostly came away feeling those rewards. Yes, there's these liberal complaints about the fact checking. But here's the thing, Dan, philosophically, I totally agree there should be fact checking. There should be live fact checking philosophically. But as a practical matter, it's almost impossible when you have these two men on stage who all want to talk. They all want their turns to interrupt constantly to try to point out flaws and mistakes. It's almost impossible for those moderators. So it makes a lot of sense that the debate, the moderators sat back. They allowed the actual debate to happen. And honestly, I think we learned a lot about these candidates because they were given the space to actually say what they wanted to say. CNN had a fact checker online, Daniel Dale, who was in real time doing fact checks. Some people said that at least they should have shown that on the screen. What do you think of that? Right. You know, so I've been thinking about that today. And I think that by the time that fact check would appear on TV, the the candidates had moved on to the next point. And so, again, as a practical matter, I don't think it's possible. He's an example of one of the Trump lies that really got under my skin. He said Biden wants to quadruple your taxes. He wants to raise your taxes four times. Now, that's pretty crazy. You hear that and you think, holy, holy moly, can you imagine paying four times as much in taxes? Of course, it's total nonsense. The Biden team proposed a four as quadrupling the corporate buyback tax for stocks from 1% to 4%. That's a quadruple increase, but it's not going to happen and it wouldn't affect you or me. Dan, Total nonsense. So by the time you actually explain that, you see how I'm having a hard time explaining it right now? Trump's already on to the next point. That's why I don't think a lot of fact checking was actually practical. But why are these people complaining about today, Dan? Because they're ticked off Biden. They're disappointed by Biden. They're frustrated by how poorly he did. So they are trying to blame the media.
