The point of controlled opposition is that they fit in and build your trust. They’re allowed to fight and win all the battles they can, except for the select few that really matter. At that point, when it really matters, you find out they’re not really on your side.
A great example is Fox News. They have been the outlet fighting liberalism for decades. But when they were ordered to be the first to call Arizona for Biden on Election night 2020, they didn’t skip a beat. The establishment then used Fox’s “credibility” as a right wing staple as an excuse to justify the pile-on and to attack opponents. CNN can now claim they’re not biased because even Fox News is calling it.
I don’t know much about Charlie, and have liked the few things I’ve seen him do online. But receiving this funding is a bad sign.
