My local newspaper says it will be fact checking the debate and posting results as it is underway. What other news sources/commentators will be doing this?
facts line up with reality. Seems to be the buzz word before the debate! Kind of makes me
wonder what all the talking heads will be doing to push their girl or guy across the goal line.

It is interesting though that the facts that need checking are all the wrong ones. What should matter is the different policies and whether or not those policies will lead to the desired outcomes. These are remarkably hard things to fact check. So instead, the fact checking will likely focus on 'who said what' in the past which really has nothing to do with policy.
