I feel like Walz will be able to call Vance on whatever bullshit he's peddling... but not having a neutral fact checker is a terrible idea.
And also Walz doesn't need to be wasting all of his allotted time fact checking an admitted liar. Not a ton of actual "News" in this article, but several of the referenced comments were funny/made good points like that.
Vance can spew out so much BS that Walz won't be able to make any points of his own.
That is Trump's tactic, which worked wonders when debating against Biden. I was glad when Harris shut that shit down by basically saying "I told you he was going to spout a bunch of bullshit, anyway my point is..."
The Gish Gallop seems to have become a common right wing tactic.
Flood the field with so much bullshit that the opponent can't address most of it the time available.
Time concerns aside, this will just make GOP say "they have their own idea of truth". Which is correct but the causality is vice versa.
Unless you are a partisan organization and want Trump to win.
Any attempt at fact checking will not be neutral. You can fact check obvious hyperbole, you can fact check because of slight misinterpretations, you can decide NOT to fact check. As soon as you decide to do it, you open the door for bias or accusations of bias.
Reality isn't neutral, facts are objective. If there's something that different stances on and both be personally correct then it's an opinion.
Yes facts are objective, but when you decide to fact check or not fact check is completely subjective. Fact checking statements out of context can be misleading in themselves, and fact checking statements that were misinterpreted by the fact checkers is also influenced by bias.
