The other part thinks it should be up to their opponent(s) to check that, it is a debate after all. You generally know the bullshit the other person is going to throw out there, have the info ready to shoot them down.

But when Candidate A says "I love ice cream!  Always have!" And candidate B retorts "You said in 2012 you hated ice cream and we have the tweet to prove it" the people watching at home who already think candidate B is a liar will just think they are lying.  And let's face it, Trump can lie with the best of them and his supporters are sure Clinton lies more.

If the moderator says it at least they are to be considered mostly neutral.

IMHO.

Of course in this case Trump thought Holt was a Democrat so he would be biased against him and he's actually a Republican.  

So maybe the truth doesn't even matter to so many people it would be a waste of time?
