He's Fired! NBC Severs Ties with Donald Trump [For insulting remarks about Mexicans]
Cape Code Times ^ | 06/29/2015

NBC has severed all ties with Donald Trump after his insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants.

"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the network said in a statement. "To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue."

During the speech where he announced his run for the presidency, Trump said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best .... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."

I find Trump to be a grandstanding opportunist who says what he things the audience wants to here, and rasher doubt his views on immigration are sincerely held.

This is like some conservative’s brief infatuation with Joe Lieberman all those years ago. Yes it is refreshing to see a liberal come to his senses a bit, criticize his own side and talk up the right. “Refreshing and honest” they say, and just for a minute forget that Trump, like Lieberman before him, have only inched a half-step away form the left on a handful of issues.

There's no down-side to Trump speaking honestly about illegal mexicans. Unlike many -- rather, most -- Republicans running for president who are convinced that if they side with illegal mexicans and gloss over the illegal acts of the illegal mexicans, the illegal mexicans will vote for them (especially now that no potential voter has to show an ID or even speak English to vote), Trump knows better. Trump knows that no matter what he does, the illegal mexicans will never vote for him anyway (nor, as the Duplicitous Party will learn in 2016, will illegal mexicans vote for any Republican).

The illegal mexicans will vote in large numbers (now that SCROTUS acknowledges the long-standing belief of most on the Left that illegal mexicans ... and negroes, too ... lack sufficient intelligence and/or enough motivation to obtain IDs to show at the polling place) for the socialist democrat (i.e., any Democrat) because despite what SCROTUS and the Left think of them, illegal mexicans aren't stupid. They didn't flee from their garbage dump of a government because of socialism, they fled because the mexican form of socialism is running out of other people's money.

Good...For once I’d like to see an angry ‘conservative’...and yeah, flamers he is far from conservative but I’d still like to see him take it out on liberals and such...perhaps he’ll spend way more than he wanted to and actually improve the country.

The MSM can find racism in an off key inflection of a noun in a Republican’s speech, but they cannot find Democrat corruption if it comes right up to them an socks them in the eye.

NBC doesn’t represent Americans.

NBC loosely tries to represent “the viewers”.

ALL VIEWERS!

Straight or gay!
American or Mexican!
Crook or whatever...!!!

Perhaps. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just find it refreshing that someone is finally defending themselves against leftist media organizations like Univision. He reminds me of Andrew Breitbart.

However, I wonder if this is all theater designed to give Trump credibility with Conservatives. After all, he may be a double agent working for the Democrats.

Remember the disappearing Romney after the first debate? He would not bring up the subjects on which Obama was most vulnerable. Was that theatre, too? Was almost like he really did not want to win.

At least Trump acts like he wants to win, and he so far has taken on the propaganda machine by saying what needs to be said.

Hey, Donald. I've got a good idea.

Why don't you just buy NBC and start your own broadcast empire reporting the REAL news like FAUX used to do before they got PCed along with the rest of the sucka$$ media?

You have enough money. You don't have to put up with these preening clowns. Make them really pay by buying them up and then firing them!

His comments about Mexicans WERE racist

OK, here is a challenge for you.

Convey the things he conveyed, essentially that Mexico is sending us bad people.

Do it in a non-racist way.

"His comments about Mexicans WERE racist..."

You don't say...well how else would you explain the truth about the "caliber" of mexicans and other 3rd worlders this Nation is being obliged to take in? Without being racist of course.
