This was on purpose . . . to help Joe Biden to even begin to look and sound normal.
Rush is defending Wallace just because Wallace treating him well when interviewing him.
Wallace badgers Trump about “White Supremists”, which Trumps answers, and then Wallace deliberately fails to ask Biden about the destruction of Antifa/BLM other than the generic do you both reject violence. Where was the badgering of Biden about the destruction? Why didn’t Wallace follow up with Biden’s lame “I don’t hold elective office...” Previously he stated he was the Democrat Party.
Wallace covered for Biden like a warm blanket and repeatedly let Biden skate away scot free.
At no point in the debate did Wallace treat President Trump in a manner of respect which the American President deserves. It was shameful.
Again:
95% of so called Journalists are self admitted Democrats, Liberals, Progressives or Socialists.
Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.
He doesn’t care. He made points with his liberal fellow travelers.
Wallass, toadee of the Soros Romney Team
and another beloved to HRC, earned his
money and gave no quarter to Pres. Bush.
He gave answers up front to blockish Biden
diluting them and reminding him of the answer
and Wallass ALWAYS interrupted the President
and almost NEVER let him answer to defend himself.
Wallass and FOX “News” made their money last night.
Every one of their advertisers should go to hell
by boycott (owned by Soros, as a twofer!).
It was DESPICABLE but not surprising. Look it is what it is, 99.9 percent of the media vote Democrat..it would be like the left allowing me to moderate a debate, would I be fair to Biden, Nope..would the left allow Tucker Carlson to moderate a debate, of course not..this is why we need debates WITHOUT moderators..have both sides come up with a set of questions for the opposing candidate to answer and let both men talk
Chris “Wallace” Moderator-In-Name-Only (MINO)
So far, all the comments I have seen totally miss the point.
The point is that Wallace thinks he is somebody. He isn’t.
Wallace has always been an Anti-Trumper. I am very disappointed in Fox for promoting him. I quit watching him a long time ago and was sorry to hear he was “moderating” the first debate. He is just a chip off the old block: AKA :Liberal Daddy Mike Wallace. I don’t know why Fox keeps promoting him, but unless they ditch him soon, they may lose another Fox loyalist.
I don’t like Chris Wallace, and agree that Trump was debating 2 people, but if he thinks Wallace’s performance is the most embarrassing, wait till the debates shift to the liberal networks.
This is what the Fox moderators stole from the candidates and the viewers on Thursday night. They usurped the role of rebuttal and made the candidates individually argue their positions with themselves instead of the other candidates. And then knowing this was going to be the format, they staged meaningless personal questions that had no viable rebuttal opportunities from the other candidates.What candidate is going to interject in the middle of a crude mysogeny question? What candidate is going to rebut an "any word from God" question? What candidate is going to jump into Megyn Kelly's question to Jeb Bush that "your brother's war was a mistake" or the Bush dynasty question?
There were a half-dozen questions where one candidate was asked to attack another candidate.
With questions like that, how can we truly see the positions of each candidate? When the questions are lowball and undeserving of the stature of Governors, Senators, and business leaders, then why should we take seriously the fallout from such a farce.
- Wallace to Rubio: Could you please address Governor Bush across the stage here, and explain to him why you, someone who has never held executive office, are better prepared to be president than he is...
- Wallace to Cruz: Senator Cruz, your colleague, Senator Paul, right there next to you, said a few months ago he agrees with you on a number of issues, but he says you do nothing to grow the party...
- Wallace to Trump: Governor Bush has called those remarks, quote, extraordinarily ugly. Id like you youre right next to him tell us talk to him directly and say how you respond to that...
- Kelly to Christie: Do you really believe you can assign blame to Senator Paul just for opposing he bulk collection of peoples phone records in the event of a terrorist attack?
- Baier to Rubio: Senator Rubio, why is Governor Bush wrong on Common Core?
- Wallace to Christie: Governor Huckabee says he can save Social Security and Medicare without doing any of that. Is he lying?
- Kelly to Bush: Governor Bush, I want to ask you, on the subject of name calling of your fellow candidates, a story appeared today quoting an anonymous GOP donor who said you called Mr. Trump a clown, a buffoon...
Apparently, Wallace learned nothing from that experience.

I didn’t watch the debates; my mind was made up a year ago or more.
But I do eavesdrop. The consensus at the restaurant where I ate lunch today was that they didn’t like the behavior of any of the debaters - Biden, Trump, or Wallace.
On the debate thread last night, I commented on how "glassy black" Biden's eyes looked.
Now James Woods tweets...

So why was blue-eyed Joe Biden wearing black contact lenses?
He just forgot his “Biden 2020” hat.
Why do we need a “Moderator” at all??
Why not instead have a computer-generated voice that reads RANDOM questions and the response is randomly directed to either candidate. The candidates’ responses for the first minute are done without interruptions with the opposing candidate’s mike is turned off to disable interruptions.
Then after the first minute, it’s a free for all for the next 5 or so minutes. No intervention by a moderator. Let them fight.
Then a bell rings and both their microphones are turned off after 5 seconds (to allow sentences to be finished) and they move on to the next random computer-generated topic.
Brit Hume claimed that Wallace was the best moderator who ever lived? Maybe Brit should stay on the island and fish for the rest of his days?
How the heck did weak Wallace ever get the job?
