What could have been an interesting debate was instead a complete shit-show because not only was Fox Journalist Chris Wallace biased against Trump going in, but he was also a weak person and a terrible moderator

An example would be if I started spamming this forum with the N-word (which is what the Horza_bot_script interprets my posts to be), the Chris Wallace version of moderation would be to complain about it, then join Horza and the other Dems in criticizing me and my opinions while still allowing me to spam the N-word in response for pages and pages. A child throwing a tantrum is going to continue as long as parent continues to engage with them and allow it

Whereas a good moderator would say something like "I don't care if you both are the president elect, I am the moderator of this debate, and it is completely unproductive to talk over each other" and then enforce it by muting the other person's mic when necessary and continuing to very simply re-iterate the rules. I do this all the time at my job when families want to get into an arguing screaming match with each other rather than healthy communication. It's not hard, but it does take a spine, which apparently Chris doesn't have

Hey whatever happened to Chris anyway? Oh that's right "The star Fox News anchor Chris Wallace announced on Sunday that he was leaving for CNN" (dec 12 2021). What a coincidence
