    Hah, the article was removed https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/forbes-removes-column-that-asks-if-trump-surviving-shooting-will-appeal-to-black-voters/

    The author mentioned Trump attempted to sway black voters after he was indicted on various criminal charges and his mugshot was taken in one of his cases last year.

    “Hopefully, being shot doesn’t become a similarly problematic strategy to link Trump with an experience that far too many (not all) Black people have,” part of the column reads.

    Seems like it was supposed to be sorta the opposite of what it ended up being.

      Oh, so it’s a classic case of ‘any question asked in a headline can just be answered with no’?

        Well I wouldn’t put it past him. He wasn’t shot by the police though.

          It’s a right-wing Rupert Murdoch tabloid.

            I don’t think it really matters when the point is just the article deletion, at least as long as what they write about is true

              It matters for those of us who don’t want to generate revenue for the Murdochs.

                  Sure, but someone might want more information and not want to give revenue to the Murdochs. Why do you care if I provided people an alternate way to get that information?

                    Well you sorta wrote it like a demand to me

                    Link to something less awful than the Post talking about it

                    I don’t care if you provide another link, as long as you don’t expect me to know the ins and outs of American news sites and to provide you links to sites that are more to your liking.
