FakeNewsMSM will ignore the gaffe BUT if it’s false and involves Trump, even the BBC, New York Mag & Reuters will get involved:

Seeing really big US journalists saying this and it’s not true. It’s weird because... honestly there’s plenty of stuff he’s actually said to go on.

plenty on Chait’s Twitter thread agree he said “Good”.

then came the lengthy “Fact” Checking by Reuters’ hacks:

23 Oct updated 3 ays ago: Reuters: Fact check: Trump did not say it was “good” that over 500 children at the border had lost their parents (4 Min Read)
Thousands of social media users have been sharing posts claiming that President Trump said it was “good” that over 500 migrant children had lost their parents and were at the U.S. border not knowing where to go. However, broadcasts of the debate show that Trump did not respond to Biden’s comment with the word “good”. He actually said, “go ahead” to the debate moderator, Kristen Welker, who had indicated her intent to move on to the next debate topic...

The posts here(REMOVED), here(ILHAN OMAR), here(PRIVATE), here(CORRECTED), here(THE PRESIDENT OBAMA COALITION TWEET, THEN CORRECTED) claim to quote a passage from the debate...

Reuters confirmed that Trump said “go ahead” by analysing the video in slow motion, adjusting the playback speed to 0.25 in YouTube settings. (TWO VIDEOS: NEITHER WORKING)

VERDICT
False. Videos of the presidential debate show that Trump said “go ahead” to the moderator, rather than “good” in response to Biden’s comments on migrant children...
