It's that blurry boundary between actual earnest questions and "just asking questions" which is also known as JAQing off.
"Why do you say liberals are right-wing? Isn't the conflict in the US between conservatives and liberals?" is often an earnest question that can open minds if it's answered carefully.
A somewhat exaggerated example of the other side of that blurry boundary would be something like the following:
"Um, I hate to say it, but let's be honest here. Liberals are the sane members of the left wing. Unlike the tankies that are unhinged and deranged, liberals are the adults in the room that know how to get shit done. Can you kindly prove me wrong without any biased sources that use a pro-Chinese/Russian narrative? SIGH, I didn't think so. It seems logic and reason are irregardlessly unheeded here. I find it funny and amusing and ironic that this place is a hivemind of bots in an echo chamber of vitriol. Good luck in life."
Unlike your stupid leftist journalists, my objective liberal journalists have no beliefs at all and are completely unbiased. The most unbiased source in the world is the state department, which also produces my favorite flavor of boot polish.
"I am just annoyed by all the political bullshit these days! I just want to play video games about shooting
people to avenge my fridged wife and/or rescue my estranged teenaged daughter from 
people and talk about how epic the treat is without anyone bringing politics into it."
