So... that's EVERY "rule"?
Nope.
Those are mostly "rules" for the participants NOT the moderators. And even if they were... that's not the topic...
"CBS Breaks Their Own Rules And "Fact Checks" Vance AND GETS IT WRONG"
The article isn't about CBS breaking their own rules, which they did... it's about get their fact check WRONG.
