      Okay, so this is an example of why I think you’re some sort of fake leftist. You’ve said this exact thing to me earlier and I didn’t really dwell on it all that much – but it is very bizarre for a supposedly far-left person to hold up CNN as a trusted source. Almost everyone on the left in the US regards CNN as corporate garbage.

      The time before, you actually were arguing with me when I was criticizing a CNN article I think, something like you don’t know how much more liberal it can get than CNN and you don’t see why I would question it, which I interpreted as one of those accidental big slip-ups where the mask comes off a little bit. Maybe I am wrong in that, of course. Surely there are people on the left who for whatever reason trust CNN. But I think the ones of them that are also rabidly anti-establishment-Democrat are probably a lot more rare than you realize. It struck me as much more a statement that would come from someone outside the left, who was accidentally using their own viewpoint on CNN (that it’s “liberal”) and not the fake leftist view they were supposed to be using.

      But yes, CNN criticizing Biden on immigration means more or less nothing. I actually talked a little more at length – I think with you – about the ACLU’s criticism of him, which although I would take a lot more seriously I also don’t agree with, and I explained some of the reasons why. But, predictably, you ignored it and just went back to repeating over and over again that Biden is bad on immigration.

          Yes, CNN is a liberal news source.

          That wasn’t true even back in 2010, when I still watched CNN.

          I figured Dems love CNN (when it attacks Trump).

          Mask is slipping.

          Wow. That’s crazy. Wow. Yeah, cool cool.

          Anyway, what should Biden do to fix immigration?

      No, just tumbling towards the right from an already-centre-right position, which is probably why you’re comfortable parroting it.
