What do you think about this article?

Care to comment? About a week ago some folks were calling Trump anti-Semitic.

This is a very interesting development.

Trump's a racist. I'm convinced of that. And I know people who think he's anti-semitic unless it's someone who can do something for him, because that's his thing---using people to get what he wants. As for the dailycaller.com, that's probably not the best source for your information.

Which information would you like to dispute? The reporters race? The tweets they made expressing outrage over the administrations racist position (when they were in fact the racists and anti-Semite), the criminal charges against him? It's all there.

If I didn't get it from the caller it wouldn't be covered. Do you think this would be run on CNN? MSNBC? They won't touch this with a 10' pole. Why? It destroys their narrative.

I was hoping to hear that you condem this person actions and making terorist threats is wrong. Not let's blame someone else and ignore what the article is about.

As always, thanks for responding.

@USMCGUY: Yes, of course I condemn the person's actions, he's crazy. He's a black man named Juan Thompson from Missouri, an ex-journalist trying to get even with a former girlfriend. And he was behind 8 of about 100 threats to Jewish community centers. Nothing about him being a Communist, no connection to Trump. One lonely NUT angry at a woman who dumped him. But good on you for choosing yet another conservative blog for misinformation after showing so much integrity yesterday.

Having integrity and acknowledging when you are wrong is different than choosing to get news from multiple sources are two different things.

As I stated earlier, I don't think too many left leaning outlets will be touching this one. I brought this up for discussion. Just in case someone on the left or in the middle wouldn't have seen it.

I don't think that I am trying make some kind of a statement, I am trying to inform and be informed.

Are you saying you only get your news from left leaning sites?

@USMCGUY: Do you think Reuters and the BBC are left-leaning ? They're both international news sources and have no real "dog in the fight" when it comes to U.S. politics. The dailycaller, on the other hand was founded by by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. So NO, I'm saying I try to find neutral sources when I can.

@USMCGUY:

Do you actually think there is a remote chance bb even attempts to obtain balanced information?
