The need of certain media companies to appear 'neutral and balanced' borders on pathological. Balanced journalism doesn't mean making both sides look equally good or bad. It means applying the principles of journalism to both sides equally. If one side lies more, it's OK to call them out on that.

It was estimated he told 30 lies. In 90 minutes. If they could fact check the crazy stuff he spouted & say so in less than a minute, it would have taken 1/3 of the total air time. And Biden shouldn't have to spend half his time simply calling out fact checks. This is not a normal sane situation.
