Near the end of the CBS vice-presidential debate, the moderators brought up Trump's election denial and the January 6 riot, which the media then turned into the most noteworthy moment, because to them, January 6 is always the top issue. J.D. Vance wouldn't denounce his running mate's election denial, turning instead to how Democrats aren't great on Democracy.

"You guys attack us for not believing in democracy," said Vance. "The most sacred right under United States democracy is the First Amendment. You yourself has said there's no first amendment right to misinformation. Kamala Harris -- wants to use the power of government and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds. That's a threat to democracy there will long outlive this present moment."

Vance shouldn't have had to bring up Big Tech censorship on his own. CBS moderators should have. But Robby Soave at Reason wrote about "Tim Walz's Very Bad Answer on Social Media Censorship." The pro-Harris media didn't find it newsworthy that Walz responded by saying you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Soave noted that "This is an oft-expressed sentiment—and one that's completely and utterly false." 

But the "fact checkers" who police speech -- who suppress social-media posts for "misinformation" -- were not about to flag Walz for getting it wrong.
