In The Spectator’s lengthy sit-down interview with President Trump earlier this year, 45 teased the idea that the return of Washington’s NFL franchise to the Robert F. Kennedy stadium site could be a legacy level achievement in his second term. He also implied a willingness to step in to take over the situation if the DC council failed to approve a stadium deal.
Another day, another ‘racist’ branding faux pas erupts. Social media goes into overdrive. Legacy media is baited to join in. Somewhere in the middle of the news cycle, the company offers a banal apology, a withdrawal of the offending product in question, followed by a generic pledge to Do Better™. The corporate ritual is by now familiar — and since Black Lives Matter plunged the country into an orgy of activism, it occurs at impressive speed.

This puts them at odds with a large number of Americans.The entertainment industry has long belonged to the Michael Moores and Barbra Streisands of the world. A few conservatives like Tom Selleck and Kelsey Grammar managed to scratch out careers by largely remaining silent about their political beliefs, but Hollywood inundates Americans with messages largely antithetical to faith, family and free markets.Donald Trump’s arrival made clear, too, that most major media organizations in America are far more hostile to conservatives than even the most ardent Fox News fan believed.
