Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Wow who could have seen this one coming? Trump used this platform they gave him to spread racist evil shit. What a PR disaster for them and a PR Boone for Trump.
I’m not sure this was quite the boon for Trump. He hasn’t faced anything but soft ball Fox News reporters for years, and just made headlines for pitching a fit after being interviewed by actual journalists
The people who are into evil racist shit already know everything he has to say on that front. The people who aren't into the evil racist shit but only watch other specific sources that don't show it, don't normally get to see that side of him.
First of all anyone who doesn't know Trump's into evil racist shit by now is unreachable and that seems like a moot point to me. But again the message of this event is not in the people who watched it. It's the victory of Association. Trump to his base; see the blacks had me in to tell them the truth and now they know how it really is. That's going to be the message. And there are going to be a few racist that he's going to reach with this who might not have voted before. People who weren't inspired by the idea of voting against old man Joe Biden are going to be paying a little more attention now.
Liberals and leftists have never understood this about conservative politics. Conservatives completely control narratives. Actual events actual facts never matter. That's exactly why for instance they wanted that audio testimony of Joe Biden when they already had the transcripts. Same exact thing. It's not about what's actually said it's about the easy picture the easy sound clip the easy message. You can't give them easy openings. You have to make them work for it. When they have to sell their people on facts and arguments and policies they fail.
