Saying stuff this obvious to debunk it's like AI skeptics saying "AI can't solve X" when it's literally trivial to try their query and then the AI system straight up just solves it.

Let's look at some recent CNN photos of each of them!

Two issues with you trying to debunk me here.

First, part of my claim is that you absolutely can find examples where CNN puts Harris or Biden in a bad light. To properly debunk me you would need an analysis of how frequently they show either party candidate in a good vs. bad light.

Second, and more importantly, you're trying to debunk what I clearly stated as my experience of viewing CNN. I didn't claim it to be a universal truth, only a pattern I have noticed when I have taken the time to browse CNN's site.

Debunking is useful when someone is proposing an argument as a scientific, or logically based, argument. Its pretty useless when the statement is only based on personal, anecdotal experience.
