Hollywood figures ask NBC to remove Trump town hall from Biden slot
New York Post ^ | 10/15/2020 | Teton Steinbuch

More than 100 actors, directors, writers and producers are protesting NBC News’ decision to hold a town hall with President Trump on Thursday night at the same time as a previously scheduled Joe Biden event on ABC News, according to a report.

In an open letter, the Hollywood crowd assailed NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell, NBCU News Group Chairman Cesar Conde and Brian Roberts, head of NBCU parent Comcast, that the network is allowing Trump to “counterprogram” his Democratic rival at 8 p.m., the Wall Street Journal reported.

Didn’t Trump announce his town hall first?

Liberals are irrational, hateful, and vindictive. NBC will be punished by these people.

Possible scenario: Biden backs out because of COVID-19 “exposure”, forcing NBC to back out due to “fair” coverage.

Two Townhalls at the same time is a problem?

I guess Liberals have a problem with “Choice”, unless it involves Murdering a Baby on the Womb.

Here’s an idea: 2 separate town halls-same evening-one after the other. POTUS picks OUR voters to ask the questions of Biden. Trump does the same and Hollywood picks out the questioners amongst them.

I figured Big Media would split screen and mute Trump.

They fear that Trump’s town hall will dwarf Biden’s by at least 10 to 1.

They also fear hearing the truth via Trump’s town hall versus Biden’s pack of lies and softball questions.

Which candidate is a lot more exciting to watch? Which candidate will have the more massive crowd and enthusiasm?

Hysteria on the left because Trump will get more viewers than Biden.

They are upset because Trump will have 3 to 4 times the ratings of ABC.

Guaranteed DNC Operative, posing as ABC journalist, George Stephanoplous will NOT ask a single hard question of Lying Joe.

Might be Biden’s way out of tonight’s gig. He was with Harris a day or two before some of Harris’s people tested positive.

Well they must be worried Trump will get better ratings. I think Biden probably will because of the dementia question.

Just so we’re clear they were both going to be on both channels and Biden’s media B team decided to cancel the debate because of covid. Now they are both going to be doing a similar event and on different channels. Everyone SHOULD watch Trump because that won’t be scripted. No worries, I’m sure Neilson ratings will show that Biden crushes Trump in viewership.

Maybe they should have held a debate with both candidates on stage, instead of two separate events.
