Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance are poised to go head-to-head tonight at their first and only debate, hosted by CBS News.

I’ll delete this if there’s a megathread. If not, I hope this information is helpful.

    How to watch the debate? With a stiff drink or three…

      I’m not sure that depressing your central nervous system will do much to reduce the possibility that your queer, immigrant, or female friends or family will be oppressed.

        Thanks. This looks like about the best we’re going to get, given what PBS says about the debate moderation and hosting:

        It’s being moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS’ “Face the Nation.” CBS News is airing the debate on its broadcast network live and will livestream it on all platforms where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are available. It’s also being made available for simulcast, and networks like PBS will air it.

        Edit:

        It looks like this PBS news stream will also have the debate, and at nominally higher resolution than the CBS stream:

        I’m watching this one, since I generally prefer the in-between segments on PBS to those on CBS.

          He speaks a lot clearer, but still, he’s just avoiding and bullshitting his way through this all the same.

          I suppose if you’d rather your YouTube clicks go to PBS than CBS, go there. I personally don’t think it makes a difference since I give to my local public radio/television station as it is, but YMMV.
