Yes, the claim that Ryan is interrupted more is factually inaccurate (or at least meaningless). The two speakers had an almost identical amount of speaking time, Ryan has a habit of running much longer.
More to the point, the impotent rage and need to lash out displayed in a couple of the comments I quoted above tell me more than anything about the content thereof.
I think if focus is on moderator behavior instead of actual substance that kind of says it all.
Well, they're fucking wrong. Just because there's two sides doesn't make them equivalent, that's not how it works. A being without the ability to think or feel does not have the same rights as a woman. It's fine (well, sort of) for someone to disagree, but I sure as shit would never, ever vote for such a person.

The picture Wells posted above backs this! Look at Ryan's expression...
Yeah when you try to bring up vague accusations of moderator bias after that debate I think you're pretty much asking for laughs.
I stated three facts that would seem to indicate that bias is at least possible. The only person who actually tried to tell me any of the facts were inaccurate brushed it off as unimportant at worst.
Personally I think ignoring all that has earned you some deserved ridicule and mockery, but what does that have to do with it? I'm just interested in the facts. I listed several. Do you dispute them or not?
Guys, it's a goddamn question. Just answer it. It's poor form when you complain about others not answering your questions, only to turn around and not answer questions.
I'm not saying this because I'm trying to moderate, I'm saying this because what you're doing is dishonest.
It was in response to the quote in the post. Nothing in the debate. But if you're looking for some quick fact-checking: crazy long link here.
How bout the fact that Biden said "Ryan and his Republican colleagues helped create the deficit problem by voting for two wars on the credit card" when Biden also voted for both of them? Just off the top of my head.
