A debate moderator’s role is to act as a neutral participant, to hold participants to time limits and to try to keep them from straying off the topic of the questions being raised in the debate.

Cambridge Dictionary defines bias as: the action of supporting or opposing a particular person or thing in an unfair way, because of allowing personal opinions to influence your judgment.

CBS had strict rules for the candidates. But they also agreed to one rule: The moderators would not "fact check." (Republicans insisted on this after the Harris-Trump debate where ABC moderators fact checked Trump numerous times while ignoring blatant lies told by VP Harris.)

After reading the post and watching the video below, what do you think: did the moderators display bias? Explain your answer.
