http://fortune.com/2016/09/26/fact-check-debate/The debate, which is being hosted by NBC and moderated by Lester Holt, will be broadcast on C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and Bloomberg TV. While other television networks will fact-check the candidates claims during their post-debate coverage, Bloomberg TV is the only one that has committed to calling them out in real-time.
This move goes directly against a comment that came out of Donald Trumps campaign on Sunday. The Republican nominees campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told ABCs This Week that it should not be up to the media to fact-check candidates claims. I really dont appreciate campaigns thinking it is the job of the media to go and be these virtual fact-checkers, and that these debate moderators should somehow do their bidding, she said on the show.

I'm thinking about HRC tonight: She needs real votes, not necessarily popularity.

"their" being the media? She's already blaming the media for a bias?
That's great news. It means she's expecting conman to screw up. Excellent.

Even if fRump lands more zingers, that might work against him in november.
Maybe she can't lose any votes tonight. Possible.
Maybe all she can do is steal some back from the 3rd party candidates.
Maybe that would require her to be a solid, serious expert, and nothing more.
Personally, I think she should go for sober, presidential, impressive, serious, dedicated, caring.
Let the orangatan swing from the trees: He's not gaining in this venue. She is.

Holy crap! It's started.
