    Whether you like Trump or not at some point you have to start questioning why these people act the hell out when this man speaks to the people.
  • @rpsmith
    "There seems to be no benefit from presenting both sides." Keep in mind, a "journalist" said this!
  • @artfuldp1669
    So according to the NABJ President, it's an opportunity to "vet" the candidate. Which begs the question, where has the organization been for the past 8 years that they need more information about this candidate?
  • @petenrita
    LOL. The greatest gaslighting effort ever is well underway.
  • @lauran.9427
    And WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? No one is ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY DIFFERENT OPINION BECAUSE IT'S NOT DEMOCRATS...THIS IS DISGUSTING
  • @pmpscheduler
    There is a benefit to presenting both sides. People who think all blacks hate Trump or Biden/Kamala are not representing the American viewpoint. One must show both sides.
  • Why does everyone think they can tell everyone what to think and what to do. This is suppose to be a free and fair election remember.
  • If black America will have a negative net worth by 2050, then are we willing to legalize 20 million new workers?
  • The guy who quit should NEVER have had a career in Journalism to begin with!!!! Same with anyone else!!!! Drain the swamp!!!!
  • Quit acting like kids. Grow up. Everyone has the right to listen to who they want.
  • @j.103
    Why would Blacks have a separate journalism……I’m from Chicago and if it said White Journalists everyone would be screaming……why shouldn’t Trump come there. No Benefit offering BOTH sides……She actually said that…! the Liberal are the ones that consistently say they are all inclusive….EXCEPT when it comes to people who don’t lock step with their beliefs……
  • @joshuarobin8585
    She didn’t make any sense !!! Let them quit !!! Everyone should have the opportunity to hear both sides!!
  • @jessiewoods988
    He was invited. They have been asking for him to come to Chicago let him go . And stop hating. You don’t owned the city nor do I.
