evidence: Heading into the debate, CNN political director David Chalian told AP that fact-checking wasn’t the role of the moderators. [...] The CNN presidential debate starts at 9 p.m. ET and will run for 90 minutes. It will be moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash at the network’s studios in Atlanta. [...] The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) spent weeks advocating for the pool to be allowed into the CNN studio where the debate is happening. CNN and the campaigns agreed to allow still photographers in. But as for the rest of the pool, CNN ultimately decided to only permit a single print reporter to enter "during a commercial break to briefly observe the setting," the WHCA said in a statement.
