More “Presidential” debates cannot happen anymore since lying and propaganda has become the norm. Also used to be the moderator didn’t involve himself in the debate to help one side over the other.

Exactly right about that kind of debate not happening anymore.
I think Wallace was trying to be fair in his own way, but had bought into some of the propaganda himself and did not realize he was just parroting some talking points that were not in fact true.
Trump had to either be rude or get run over. But on balance it was worth the cost for Trump, since Biden ended up being rude as well. Trump was already known to be rude, but realistic and competent. Biden came off as rude, phony and incompetent.
That had to have been a long time ago.
It happened in the last 2016 debates, and even in the 2012 debates (although Praise the Lord that Romney lost that election).
About the worst I saw was when Carly Fiorina was running against Boxer for California Senator - around 10 years ago. It was Fiorina vs. Boxer, the 3 reporters, and the moderator. One vs 5. I'm not a great fan of Carly - although vs Boxer I'd have taken anyone. She did as well as could be expected in the one vs 5 contest, but it was infuriating to watch. The Media has no shame.
Bingo! Wallass and OBiden started interrupting the President and we ennui about to be “Paul Ryaned.”
We are well into the times of Bread and Circuses since the heathen eight year rule of Barry Obozo.
