Sign for CBS's vice presidential debate — CBS News will play host to the vice presidential debate. It will also be fact-checking, which it's promoting by QR code. But you don't really need to use that.

If you want live — or close to live — fact-checking during Tuesday's VP debate, you won't get a ton of it from the CBS broadcast.
But CBS News will offer fact-checking via its website.
You will have a choice: Go find that site the same way you find anything else on your phone — or use a QR code. America!

CBS is hosting Tuesday's vice presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. But this won't be your run-of-the-mill debate, The New York Times tells us. This time around, CBS will be "using technology to try something new."

That newfangled technology?

A website.
