I didn't see the debate so I can't speak to this particular situation, but I disagree that the moderator shouldn't engage with them. If the moderator knows they are lying, he/she should point that out. If Trump claims he never blamed global warming on the Chinese, the moderator should be able to pull out his tweet that shows he in fact did just that.
It's one thing to show bias and only go after one person or to ask questions that clearly favor one person over the other, but the people want answers and reality, they don't want to just be lied to for 90 minutes.
