They would fact check little nitpicky things each candidate said, but they never took on Trump's big lies: Biden is the worst president ever, he ruined our economy, etc, etc.

Trump told Big Lies and the media ignored them. Who cares if they pushed back a little on Haitians eating cats. They allowed the big lies.
