CNN is pushing “Biden’s big mistake” on their website with regard to the border. It’s the new “caravan.”

Only in comparison, and only when the former guy became truly egregious. While I like Keilar and Lemon, they seem to chase ratings, not so much promote policy.

Better to not watch them on tv, but watch clips here.

End of the day, it's a business first, a public service last...or never. Or at least it is now. Clicks and eyeballs are what they're after. Context, nuance and sometimes actual facts be damned.

desperate for some story of Biden “failing.” Some seem so determined to “both sides” it.

When Manuela, a 33-year-old mother of two from rural El Salvador, had a miscarriage in 2008, she did what most women would do: she went to hospital.

There she was handcuffed to her hospital bed, accused of having an abortion, and charged with aggravated homicide.
~
Manuela was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Around the same time she was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. Two years later, she died of her illness in prison.

period for comparison? It's almost all available on line and I don't remember the border coverage then now being contradicted by this.

But itm, why turn this step into a condemnation? It's not that ABC hasn't worked to elect Republicans; they have. But I see no virtue or truth in twisting this action to deny itself. Quite the contrary.
