      2. The emerging media consensus that Pence won is only true if we ignore the fact that Pence lied his ass off for 90 minutes.

      3. I understand journalistic role to declare stylistic winners but I don't think we can ignore the fact one candidate lied big time.

      4. The assumption Pence won is predicated on idea that voters as a whole won't see through his lies. I don't think that's true.

      5. Pence's lies were brazen because he kept denying that Trump had said things that Trump had in fact said. Stuff that's on tape.

      6. One reason I think Pence's lies ineffective is that Trump is nothing if not memorable. His statements are sticky. They make an impression

      7. Rather than just accepting that Pence's lies won over audience, media's job should be to highlight just how much he lied.

      8. As I keep saying Trump campaign is a test for the media. Can they call out a campaign built on epic lying or fall back on both sidesism?

      9. The epic extent of Pence's lying has to be part of the debate analysis. Anything less is an abdication of journalistic responsibility.

      10. Memo to the media: Trump & Pence are happy to live in a post-truth world, but we don't have to join them there.

      11. This gets at the nub of the problem: factchecking, especially on cable news, is too slow: https://twitter.com/BrentNYT/status/783515500747816961 …

      12. Print media I think is better at fact checking because it can more easily juxtapose lie with rebuttal. @ddale8 & others doing good work

          @NewRepublic but do you really think any of Trump's supporters care what truth might entail?

          Cable news could be much more effective. They need to have sound bites ready, the candidates statements are easy 2 predict

          @docrocktex26 Oscar level polished lying isn't a great attribute in a politician.Commentators shd be wary of such virtuoso lying.
