I saw this and then read what desatan had to say. Naturally desantis claims most of what the other side is saying is false. eye roll
Thing is the woman listing off the cities where these people need to show up for their court dates can easily be proven one way or the other. I'm not going to go hunting for the facts, I'll go with past behavior from the would be king of Florida and call bullshit on his claims. Something else that puzzles me is, Florida does not border Mexico so how did all these migrants or immigrants get to Florida from the various South American countries?

While Cohen speaks the truth regarding the social issues, he tends to exaggerate claims when it comes to other political views. Ad Fontes Media was rather kind in saying he's generally reliable (his actual reliability score is up in the air/debateable), even though the word generally there is somewhat vague. AFM did get it right though in labeling Cohen as hyper-partisan, and that he is just another partisan hack trying to make a name for himself pandering to only the one side while totally demonizing the other, promoting fear and intolerance in the process all the while claiming to be fighting against such. We have enough folks like that in society as it is, we seriously don't need more. Cohen's bias score indicates fairly far to the left, and you know as well as I know that anyone either too far to the left or right are not exactly the most reliable or honest individuals among us.-

@Garban Glad to see you acknowledge that it was indeed more an emotionally charged opinion piece than actual journalism, and I admire your willing honesty on that. That's more than what I could say for others on here who would have jumped at what I mentioned above, looking for any reason to defend Cohen's statements.

As for the liking him part, I understand. As for me, he'd be a bit more likeable if his focus was shifted more to criticizing questionable policies of the Republican Party instead of bashing any and all who disagree with his own viewpoints. Easier said than done though I suppose, given the current hostile political climate in the US.
