Biden Jr. and President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s debate, which airs commercial-free from 9 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time on every major network, is likely to attract a television and livestreaming audience of close to 100 million for the kind of civic gathering increasingly rare in a polarized, pandemic-stricken age.<\/p>\n<p>A fragmented news media means that many voters will consume the Biden-Trump clash through a preferred, possibly biased lens, be it partisan cable news stations, custom-tailored social media feeds or online outlets that cater to ideological tribes.<\/p>\n<p>But the few-frills format of Tuesday\u2019s debate \u2014 two candidates, two lecterns, one moderator \u2014 is a break from highly produced events, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/07\/05\/us\/politics\/conventions-television-coverage.html\" title=\"\">virtual conventions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/02\/business\/media\/october-democratic-debate.html\" title=\"\">overloaded primary debates<\/a>, that have otherwise defined the major television moments of the 2020 presidential race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/09\/02\/business\/media\/trump-biden-debate-moderators.html\" title=\"\">Commission on Presidential Debates<\/a>, a bipartisan nonprofit group, controls the look and feel of Tuesday\u2019s event, which is designed to evoke a more retro era of political combat. Because of social distancing, barely 100 people are expected to attend in person. Each candidate has two minutes to respond to a question, a Tolstoyan span by rapid-fire TV news standards.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Wallace, who won rave reviews in 2016 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/20\/us\/politics\/chris-wallace-moderator.html\" title=\"\">his stewardship of the third debate<\/a> between Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton, is now in the catbird seat: The opening round typically attracts the largest audience of the campaign. The Fox News anchor will also face intense scrutiny on how he handles the evening, particularly given Mr. Trump\u2019s tendency to hurl false and baseless claims at his opponents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is to be as invisible as possible,\u201d Mr. Wallace, who has declined outside interviews ahead of his Tuesday appearance, said during a Fox News segment on Sunday. \u201cI\u2019m trying to get them to engage, to focus on the key issues, to give people at home a sense of, \u2018why I want to vote for one versus the other.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sink-into-the-background approach extends to fact-checking, which Mr. Wallace has regularly argued is outside the purview of a debate moderator, calling it \u201ca step too far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not believe it is my job to be a truth squad,\u201d Mr. Wallace said in the run-up to his 2016 debate. \u201cIt\u2019s up to the other person to catch them on that.\u201d Those comments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/09\/11\/us\/politics\/matt-lauer-debate-moderators.html\" title=\"\">caused a minor stir at the time<\/a>, but the debates\u2019 organizers have made clear they agree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a vast difference between being a moderator in a debate and being a reporter who is interviewing someone,\u201d Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., a co-chairman of the debate commission, told CNN on Sunday. \u201cWe don\u2019t expect Chris or our other moderators to be fact checkers. The minute the TV is off, there are going to be plenty of fact checkers in every newspaper and every television station in the world. That\u2019s not the role, the main role of our moderators.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"NYT_MAIN_CONTENT_2_REGION\">\n<div>\n<section id=\"dem-debate-notifications\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"notifications-button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Sign up for On Politics to get the latest election and politics news and insights.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some media pundits have called on TV networks to impose their own fact-checks in real-time, through onscreen graphics, clarifying captions or cutaways to reporters offering context. Anchors on CNN and MSNBC occasionally broke into speeches during the Republican National Convention in August, pointing out falsehoods or baseless accusations.<\/p>\n<p>That interventionist approach is less likely to occur on Tuesday, according to executives and producers at several TV networks. Unlike the conventions, executives said, the debates are intended as an unfiltered test of the candidates\u2019 wits, stamina and ability to persuade the electorate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe debate is one of the rare opportunities where the public is seeing both of the presidential candidates together on the same stage, where they have a chance to not only respond to and address each other, but to speak directly to the American public,\u201d said Caitlin Conant, the political director at CBS News. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to get in between the voters and the candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean Ms. Conant or other executives plan to shy away from correcting falsehoods. CBS, for example, has its Washington correspondent Major Garrett on standby for fact-checking during its prime-time broadcast. CNN\u2019s in-house Trump fact checker, Daniel Dale, will be featured in the network\u2019s coverage. Many TV news outlets are providing live fact-checking and analysis on their websites.<\/p>\n<p>On Fox News on Sunday, Mr. Wallace said he had \u201can awful lot\u201d to cover in 90 minutes, citing the coronavirus, racial tensions, economic problems and protests across the country. Just this weekend, the president nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court and The New York Times<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/09\/27\/us\/donald-trump-taxes.html\" title=\"\"> published a major investigation<\/a> revealing that Mr. Trump paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the 15 years before 2017.<\/p>\n<p>How many viewers can even be swayed by Tuesday\u2019s proceedings is an open question.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 70 percent of Americans said the debates would not matter much to their ultimate vote, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/trump-biden-have-few-americans-to-persuade-in-debates-11601218800\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">according to a poll this month<\/a> by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News.

This year\u2019s ratings may not match that, in part because so many viewers now use streaming services that cannot be credibly measured.<\/p>\n<p>But some in the industry believe that the appeal of seeing Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump joust for the first time will be hard to resist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen a lot of politics on TV for months and months,\u201d said Mark Lukasiewicz, a former producer of political event coverage at NBC News. \u201cBut Trump face-to-face with Biden is new.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"NYT_BELOW_MAIN_CONTENT_REGION\">\n<div>\n<section id=\"styln-prism-electionsGuide-1598278655668\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"election-guide-id\">\n<div id=\"election-guide-container\">\n<ul id=\"election-guide-list\">\n<li>\n<h2>The Latest<\/h2>\n<p>Joe Biden and President Trump are preparing for the first debate, in which Mr. Trump will inevitably face questions about a Times report on his taxes.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2020\/09\/28\/us\/trump-vs-biden-elections?action=click&#038;pgtype=Article&#038;state=default&#038;region=BELOW_MAIN_CONTENT&#038;context=storyline_guide_recirc\">Read the latest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>How to Vote<\/h2>\n<p>Many rules have changed during the pandemic, making it harder to figure out how to cast your ballot. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/09\/24\/us\/politics\/how-to-vote-register.html?action=click&#038;pgtype=Article&#038;state=default&#038;region=BELOW_MAIN_CONTENT&#038;context=storyline_guide_recirc\">This interactive guide<\/a>\u00a0can help you ensure your vote is counted.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Paths to 270<\/h2>\n<p>Joe Biden and Donald Trump need 270 electoral votes to reach the White House.
