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'?
Betteridge's law of headlines
Well I wouldn't put it past him. He wasn't shot by the police though.

It was the first result, I'm not otherwise familiar with the site
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.
Could just not click the link
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

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.
It wasn't a demand at all. It wasn't even in reference to you. I was presenting a link... and I think you probably know that since you left out the hyphen, which indicates what I meant.
I'm not sure if it is that you are not a native speaker or that neither of us are but "do this" is how you write commands and demands. If it wasn't meant in that way and not meant to me, even though it was written directly in reply to me, then it was a bit poorly thought out since it obviously seems like a demand. But it's all good as far as I'm concerned

Genuinely not sure how you figured the hyphen would change it but here's the full reply. I don't get it but maybe it changes the meaning to someone
