I think CNN did great with the debate. Jake and Dana asked questions and let the candidates' words, or lack of them, speak for themselves. There was no way Jake and Dana were able to ''fact-check'' (whatever that means these days), without starting a fight with the candidates and destroying the whole concept of the debate.
The new mic rules also turned out to be very good, no interruptions, no yelling, but they still got to respond to each other.
Of course, because of the Biden disaster performance, you now have many Democrats angry at CNN for not ''fact-checking'' and for employing the mic rule, which Biden's team asked for in the first place.
Finally, CNN did fact-check both candidate's false statements, in their post-debate coverage.
