    My point was obviously your need to claim CNN doesn't usually factcheck Biden. And then your need to claim that I'm OK with Biden lying.
    Just no need for that kind of stuff.

    I believe discussions about Trump and lying reached the maximum allowed for a single topic on Too Woke for Swamp Gas for this decade in early 2022.

    It can only be trusted when it talks about something that makes liberals look bad. If it makes right wingers look bad then it's fake news

    They call him out for lying all the time. You wouldn't know because you never read CNN.

    I am genuinely curious about yours and the OP's comments here. I mean, I know they're consistent with all your previous posts. What I'd like to know is if:
    1 - You look at CNN regularly and have never seen it factcheck Biden.
    2 - You never look at CNN and just assume it doesn't.
    3 - You never look at CNN, don't care whether it factchecks Biden or not, just figure you're going to say it because that's what your side does.
    4 - You've seen CNN factcheck Biden and think it's perfectly OK to claim it doesn't because this is war.

    Which is it?
    And the reason I ask is that falsehoods like this make reasonable conversation very difficult.

    CNN calls out both sides when they are inaccurate. I get Biden’s frustration that almost all the pieces for inflation were set underway under Trump but phrasing it as he walked into 9% inflation is poorly framed.

    Unless I missed it and conceding that Hunter Biden did in fact receive significant compensation from Chinese interests CNN never provided any evidence that Joe Biden was actually aware of the payments that Hunter received from the Chinese and perhaps even more significantly Hunter was paid based on the the belief that he could persuade Joe Biden to influence US policy to the benefit of the Chinese. Hunter received the payments during a period in which Joe Biden was completely out of government and the Republicans controlled the presidency and both Houses of Congress. In other words, Hunter Biden effectively conned his Chinese "friends".

    You don't have to read or watch CNN ever. When CNN challenges a Democrat, it makes the conservative news sites because it's rare. The challenges to Biden have seen an uptick in the last few months from the MSM. There are a few reasons for this, but my guess is they fear Biden cannot win and it's time to replace him with a better candidate.

    While we're on the subject of legislation is that what the union representing Border Patrol agents had to say about the bipartisan bill that Trump has effectively blocked:
    Border Patrol union backs Senate immigration bill despite House GOP opposition
    The National Border Patrol Council has previously endorsed Donald Trump for president and routinely takes hard-line positions on immigration enforcement. "This is absolutely better than what we currently have," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told ABC News.

    When the new expulsion authorities are triggered, agents will work to quickly turn migrants back to Mexico. Judd said he was confident this new authority combined with more detention resources will reduce illegal crossings. Further, additional resources for migrants who require processing will free up agents to remain on the front line.

    "They're able to do the job that they were supposed to do as far as protecting the American people and I think that they would feel much better about the job with this bill," Judd said.

    Right. You don't have to read or watch CNN to know what they cover or don't cover. You just have to believe.
