It's like their rebuttal to "fake news". The only problem is, Painting with Bob Ross and The Wiggles routinely outperform the networks people like that get their news from. Nobody ever takes the time to ask why that is.

I don't need to ask because I already know.
People decided long ago they preferred entertainment to news. 
I don't watch news.
I read fark.com and NPR.com and I listen to NPR sometimes.  For opinion pieces I like national review mostly.

Interesting to see a True Republican™ who only hangs out at lefitst clubhouses, almost like you're a poser.

Again, have you ever been right about ANYTHING?

Sekulow is Trump's lawyer from Fox TV.

Rudy is Trump's lawyer from ??? The Twilight Zone?

Trump's real attorney is Emmet Flood, and he doesn't do TV. Unless Donald has again hired Michael Cohen, because, you know, Donald only hires the best people.

You really need to try and keep up.

What are you talking about? Sekulow and Giuliani are on Trumps legal team. Are you implying if someone is a contributor to a news channel, they aren't a real attorney?

Yeah those guys at National Review are real leftists aren't they?

Nope, RINOs and Demo-wanna-be's galore. Makes perfect sense to me why you chill there.

This is a football site based in north Florida, so I expect a number of Jaguar Fan Boys. You know - guys who call players by their first names and expect (expect, not hope) that the Jaguars will be in the Super Bowl. That's fine. Everyone needs a hobby and although weird at times it's harmless and usually in good fun. Go Jags!

But to be a Fan Boy of a New York City real estate developer, who has changed political leanings often, and is a racist scumbag to boot? Perhaps we can chalk it up to lack of a strong male role model as a kid. Perhaps Dr. Phil needs to be involved, I don't know.

I just don't get it.

No one accused Donald Trump of being a racist until he decided to run for president and became a threat to Hillary Clinton’s return to power.

   In 1986, Trump joined several other prominent Americans, such as Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali, as recipients of an “Ellis Island Award.”

   One suspects if Trump was a racist, there’s no way he would have posed for a photo with those two.


Report: Donald Trump Housing Jennifer Hudson and Family

Real estate mogul Donald Trump is reaching out to Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson in her time of need.

People.com says Trump has been putting up Hudson and some of her relatives at the Trump International Hotel & Tower for a complimentary stay ever since Hudson's mother and brother were found murdered at their Chicago home last month.

Yeah, he's really a racist scumbag

There are tapes of Jessie Jackson praising him, Jim Brown met with him. The list goes on. The bright side is that although the media noise is so high, opinion polls show black America is beginning to take notice

Eh, if someone is really, deeply, and consciously hateful of black people in their hearts, they could still probably stomach doing a few good deeds in the public eye to maintain appearances.
Trump is trivially racist in the same sense most people are. But is he governing or making speeches with racist intent? Not against black people, no.  
I think he said the wrong thing regarding the Charlottesville rallies a year ago and I think his pride prevented him from understanding it and apologizing.  The man always doubles down.  Like most American men his age he was taught to think of Robert E Lee as gallant and honorable, never thinking about what he chose to use that gallantry and honor for.  For more than two thirds of his life no one seriously called any of that into question.  But that's just ignorance, not racism.
You could argue that he's governed with antipathy to Central Americans and Muslims though - but one is an ethnicity and the other is a religion.  Neither is really a race.
So we can't know for sure, but you're probably right.
