Basically, their news network is trying to change the way political debates work by having the moderator force the candidates to answer the questions that are asked of them, not interrupt each other, justify arguments that are based on obvious falsehoods etc.

This can only work if the moderator is not sufficiently mind-killed. I believe a moderator tried to do this in a debate for the last election, except the "obvious falsehood" turned out to actually be true.
