David Gergen : 'Fact-checking' is like fake news’: something that is now entirely in the eye of the beholder.

Gergen says CBS moderators only seemed to be interested in fact-checking in one direction against Donald Trump .

He says it is counter-productive to show that Donald Trump was exaggerating or wrong when he talked about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats; it is another to go so far the other way.

Good news stories are hard to come by today , but the rescue of Fawzia Amin Sido this week is one.

At the age of 11 , a Yazidi girl was taken as a slave by ISIS in Iraq .

Another Yazidi survivor of ISIS sexual slavery had her campus lectures canceled a couple years ago because of fears that telling her story might "foster Islamophobia ".
