The #YangGang has gotten Andrew Yang's fight with MSNBC to #TellTheTruthMSNBC trending- but as I've said, the #MATH backs his claim:
Yang's speaking time trailed the avg. by the biggest margin in debates moderated by MSNBC (1 & 5)
1: -4.97 mins
2: -3.51
3: -4.7
4: -2.8
5: -5.9
As I pointed out before, the stats become even more egregious when you correct for the expected airtime given a candidate's pre-debate polling position
The red line indicates the expected airtime given polling position. Yang trailed considerably in #TellTheTruthMSNBC's Debate 5
@AndrewYang Interestingly, since I pointed that out on debate night 5, Business Insider confirmed my findings across the other debates as well:

@AndrewYang However (and just to put a bow on the whole #TellTheTruthMSNBC thing) - the most glaringly obvious debates in which Yang has not been given the time you'd expect him to get based on his polling have been those moderated by MSNBC
Here is Debate 1 (also an MSNBC debate):
