Ms. Reagan, both Trump and Biden agreed before the debate that there would be no fact checking on the floor by the moderators. Also both Bash and Tapper did push Trump to answer their questions.

However, I did notice the remarkable point about the questions concerning unions though. You might respond by saying: "But neither Bash nor Tapper mentioned the unions"

That is what is remarkable about the questions. They were not asked.

About 12% of the voting public is Black, and about 12% of the voting public is in a union. Both Bash and Tapper found the topic of Black voters important enough to ask about them. Why did they not also ask about unions? Unions have recently been enjoying a resurgence. Also Biden is the first president in history to join a picket line. He did it in Detroit.

Questions about unions were not asked because both Bash and Tapper come from that privileged class of white, entitled, upper-middle class professionals who are completely out of contact with ordinary working stiffs whose pay check barely allows them to make ends meet.

Biden, to his credit is in contact with those ordinary workers. Trump has withering contempt for wage earners and union members. Unions would have been a great topic for a question.

Bash and Tapper, must want a dictatorship? It sounds like they were promoting dividing the races to me? That goes with they're not fact checking also.
