I disagree, because politicians lie too much and that allows rhetoric to manipulate the public, the goal of a debate should be to inform the voting public on the candidates positions + whether their claims to support that position are factual, so the voters can make an informed decision
Obviously you run the risk of the broadcaster manipulating the public, but it it's just base fact checking and context the risk is a lot less imo than just letting politicians lie with no room for correction.
In a perfect world, without bias, this would be great. Blantant bias only pushes one side.
