This was exactly my impression, I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped Sanchez’s supporters from saying he “won”. What I’d like to see is some fact checking about the data each of them presented which were then said to be lies. I despair these days about finding some objective truth- it seems we really do live in a post-modern world. Any suggestions for where to find the facts in this case?

Yeah, it's a tough one, a politician can spew out litres of lies much faster than any team of journalists can check them all.

Many Spanish newspapers published fact checking articles the day after the debate. However, they don't agree with each other, so you'll end up believing different things about the data depending on which newspaper you trust ☹️

So then someone would have to fact check the factcheckers...
