Is that the job of the moderator? I thought it was to control who is speaking. A moderator is not a judge of what the people speaking are saying. At best, they might interpret the question being asked in case it was confusing.
Trump and the moderator were the only speakers.
The Hell she wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The purpose of a townhall is to allow the voters to ask the questions. But that is not what snarling Savanah did. She instead allowed herself to ask 43 questions . Trump only received 10 questions from the voters. That fellow poster is what you call a bona fide hack.
More interesting in debating Trump, than allowing questions from town hall members, NBC's Savannah Guthrie stepped on every answer Trump gave at their town hall last night, interrupting Trump a total of 61 times.
When Trump behaved like this, constantly interrupting Biden in the first Presidential Debate, the liberal media was enraged, acting like Trump's behavior was monstrous.

"I was so upset after the presidential and vice presidential debates, I couldn't sleep," a friend told me on a Zoom call. "I'm going to have PTSD!" The tenor of both faceoffs deeply disturbed me, as well. In watching the debates, many of us cringed, particularly as President Donald Trump continually interrupted former Vice President Joe Biden. We felt as if he were directly attacking our deepest values -- our trust in democracy, fairness, common decency and respect for others."
Savannah Guthrie exhibited the exact same behavior, perhaps with the exception that she put a smile on her face while she was doing it, and this was the NYT headline...

I know it must be hard to see your Dear Dirtbag get called out for lie after lie but this was the format that Dirtbag agreed to and, of course, whined about as the big ***** he is.

And like I stated above a townhall is designed for the voters to ask the questions. Snarling Savanah peppered one question after another for the first 20 some minutes of a one hour debate before Trump was even given an opportunity to take a question from the audience. The only thing the moderator proved last night is that she is a hack.

No doubt her placement was strategically worked out as a prop. I didn't watch much of Dirtbag's schtick. Did she get a question? From your link:Mayra Joli. This is who she is:
Mayra Joli Is the 'Nodding' Woman Behind Donald Trump
Mayra Joli is the immigration lawyer and former congressional candidate who was the "nodding lady" at Donald Trump's October 15 NBC town hall.
I don't know why rightwingers like her keep trying that idiotic "used to be a Dem" meme. It's such a hackneyed "tell" for someone who never was but thinks it gives them some kind of credibility.
Ordinarily, I might agree with criticizing a media person for challenging a political candidate’s statements however, at this point, when Americans are literally dying as a result of Trump’s constant lying, I loudly applaud Guthrie’s challenges/comments, and would like to see others in the media and Trump’s party (ex; Ben Sasse) do more of the same.More interesting in debating Trump, than allowing questions from town hall members, NBC's Savannah Guthrie stepped on every answer Trump gave at their town hall last night, interrupting Trump a total of 61 times.

You don't understand. Much as "Macbeth hath murdered sleep" according to Lady Macbeth, Trump hath murdered truth. It's dead to him. So any corrections of his lies or noting his refusal to answer questions are bad journalism, and his followers recognize that bad faith and emphasize it. Given Trump's approach, it is guaranteed that this will happen over and over again:
