During last night's debate, Democrat nominee Kamala Harris told a lot of lies. The total number of whoppers from Harris was over two dozen, but, as you know, the super-objective ABC moderators only saw fit to do fact-checks on Trump (and even some of those weren't true).
Townhall's Guy Benson shared a few examples of Harris serving up massive amounts of BS that the ABC moderators didn't deem worthy of real-time "fact-checking":
Fact check: Harris repeatedly promised to ban fracking, she co-sponsored a bill to outlaw private health insurance, and she endorsed a “mandatory buyback” on guns. If she ‘no longer believes’ those things, she hasn’t explained why. At all.

Any ABC follow up on any of that?
The Federalist counted more than two dozen times that Harris lied while the moderators only felt the need to interject on some Trump claims:

Yep, Harris liked more than two dozen times.
Taking a page out of her boss’s playbook, Vice President Kamala Harris told major whoppers during her Tuesday night debate against Donald Trump. With help from left-wing activists masquerading as debate moderators, Harris whitewashed her extreme record, lied about Trump’s policy positions, and more.
Along the way, the moderators did several real-time "fact checks," but only for claims Trump made. Harris could say whatever she wanted free from moderator interruption or correction.

After the debate the usual "fact-checker" suspects also had Harris' back. Perhaps the most ridiculous of the bunch was CNN's Daniel Dale, who had this doozy of a summary for the cable net's viewers:

"One-plus"... yeah, one plus about 30.

CNN definitely seems to be trying to atone for their initial objectivity.
The "fact-checking" business is now officially beyond parody. But if you're a Democrat it's not bad treatment:
Trump has been staggeringly dishonest and Harris has been overwhelmingly (though not entirely) factual.

"Overwhelmingly though not entirely factual" is the new "fiery but mostly peaceful."
“Fact Checking” has become such a subjective term does it really mean anything? Russia Collusion, COVID19, and Hunter’s laptop were all “fact checked” so…

To a large degree the "fact-checking" industry is just another media arm of the Democratic Party. It's only going to get worse in the coming weeks.
