CBS moderators are given a brutal assessment of their 'biased' and 'obnoxious' performance in the Vance-Walz debate

Pundits and commentators online were not all pleased with the CBS News moderators' performance during Tuesday night's vice presidential debate. 

The most jarring moment came when Margaret Brennan fact-checked Republican VP nominee, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance over comments he made about Haitian migrants. 

That led to a back-and-forth that ended with Brennan and Norah O'Donnell cutting off the candidates' mics. 

'F you CBS - how dare you,' conservative host Megyn Kelly tweeted. 'Tried to fact check. JD put you in your place. You won't [let] him fight you and you wont let them debate.' 

A user on X chimed in: 'JD Vance called out the moderators for lying to the audience, and CBS immediately muted him. Legacy media is clearly controlled by the Democrats.' 

Ahead of the debate, CBS said the moderators would not be doing live fact-checking after ABC News took heat for lopsided fact-checking during last month's presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. 

Instead the network would provide audiences with a QR Code where they could find fact-checks provided online. 

But when the debate turned to the topic of immigration, Vance talked about how Haitians were overwhelming resources in Springfield, Ohio - made famous over false claims about them eating pets. 

'Thank you governor, and just to clarify, for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status,' Brennan said. 

Vance then pushed that obtaining a particular type of visa was easy under the Biden Administration. 

Migrants, Vance said, could be 'granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala-Harris-open-border wand.'  

'Thank you, senator, for describing the legal process,' Brennan curtly responded.

Vance kept talking, noting how 'Kamala Harris opened up that pathway.' 

Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, then joined in, saying that 'those laws have been on the book since 1990.' 

As Vance tried to make another point, suddenly his voice wasn't audible in the studio. 

'Gentlemen the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut,' Brennan told them. 

'We have so much we want to get to.' 

Fox hosts were especially tough on the CBS moderators. 

Fox's Bret Baier said late Tuesday, 'And there was some, you know, questions about fact-checking and whether it was fair and balanced across the way.' 

Co-host Brit Hume later chimed in. 

'The moderators were obnoxious and made it feel like three-on-one on Vance, and Vance was just fine,' Hume said.
