"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz "dropped the ball" during Tuesday night's vice presidential debate by failing to fact-check JD Vance.

The debate between the candidates for vice president — GOP nominee Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — was dominated by Vance, and all but a handful of hardened partisan pundits agree on that conclusion.

Walz wobbled and panicked from the first question — which everyone in the world knew would be about Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier in the day. Yet Walz still fumbled his response, and it got worse from there until the CBS moderators invoked the unwritten mercy rule for left-wing moderators watching the Democrat melt and tossed Walz some softballs on J6 at the debate’s close, by which time the internet was howling and laughing at the Minnesota governor.

There were three important takeaways:

First, Vance is a superb and calm debater and a reassuring figure on the national stage.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance (L) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz showed a great deal about the competence of the presidential candidates who chose them.

Second, Walz is not, and he represents the one big decision Vice President Kamala Harris has had to make since President Joe Biden dropped out. It was a terrible decision. Imagine her Cabinet and White House staff if somehow, she wins.

Third, legacy media is irretrievably broken and cannot be reclaimed from its lurch into rote leftism and extreme partisanship, or even pulled back to a minimum level of seriousness on big occasions.

Do executives at these networks — ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC— not see what has happened? Americans........
