NBC PLANNED TO USE TRUMP AUDIO TO INFLUENCE DEBATE, ELECTION
TMZ ^ | 10/12/2016 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 10/12/2016 10:14:24 AM PDT by AmusedBystander

NBC execs had a plan to time the release of the Donald Trump audio to have maximum impact on both the 2nd presidential debate and the general election ... sources connected with the network tell TMZ.

Multiple sources connected with NBC tell us ... top network execs knew about the video long before they publicly said they did, but wanted to hold it because it was too early in the election. The sources say many NBC execs have open disdain for Trump and their plan was to roll out the tape 48 hours before the debate so it would dominate the news cycle leading up to the face-off.

As we reported, Billy Bush was bragging about the tape -- in front of NBC execs at the Rio Olympics -- in early August. NBC says it's only known about the tape for a little more than a week.

We're told the plan was to edit the tape to keep the focus on Trump and not Billy. "Access Hollywood" we're told was not going to air the portion where Trump and Billy got off the bus and Billy goaded Trump and the soap star to hug. Our sources say the tape was going to be "sanitized" to protect Billy as much as possible.

Case in point ... after The Washington Post ran the story, 'Access' aired their footage and cut out the parts where Billy looked worse -- saying things like, "Jeez! Your girl's hot as s*** in the purple!"

We've told you the plan got derailed by Hurricane Matthew. Execs decided the wall-to-wall coverage of the storm would mess up the plan to dominate the news with the Trump tape, so they were going to hold it until Monday. It didn't sit well with some staffers who wanted it out pre-debate, so it was leaked to the Washington Post.

As one source put it, "NBC really screwed Billy. They had no problem with him on the tape 'till it got leaked." The source goes on to say there was never a peep about disciplining Billy until the full tape got leaked.

With all that is known about the top-to-bottom corruption in the Media, the Clinton Machine, Government, and Crony-Capitalists, if in spite of all that the American people elect Hillary Clinton next month, the people richly deserve what’s coming.

Two things to add:

1. It is ashamed that true patriots like ourselves are caught in our country's downfall caused by liberalism and socialism.

2. The Percentage that Hillary get this election (win or lose) will be the minimum percentage that a democrat will receive in any presidential election.

Aren’t there laws against colluding to throw an election?

No laws that I can think of but the penalty (at least theoretically) is exposure and consequent angry reaction by an aroused populace. (That would be us.)

Well if we had an independent FCC with ethics and morals (yes I know...) then there would be serious questions about allowing nbc to continue to operate. If we can boycott the nfl effectively, then we can also boycott nbc.

If Trump wins, he should issue an "executive order" to raid the offices of NBC and shut down all operations, and then use their own transmitting equipment to accuse them of violating RICO statutes, colluding to manipulate a Federal Election, Discriminating in their hiring process, and violating any other law of which I could think.

We need to start cutting off heads. Till we start cutting off some heads, they aren't going to get the message.

Like him or loathe him, but Ted Cruz warned about this during the primary. He said the media was holding back on what they had on Trump till after the convention.

And many of us warned that they would do exactly the same thing to Ted Cruz.

It doesn't matter who our nominee is. They will make up crap or highlight crap and send it out over the airwaves so that the gullible people can lap it up.

Too bad it backfired on the evil media and their disciples of deceit in D.C.

The 2nd debate sent that 11 year old Trump audio into the back pages of oblivion.☺

Then why are they firing Billy Bush instead of promoting him to lead anchor position or something? I don’t understand this. Bush did exactly what they wanted to do, but he gets fired for it?

They can't make an issue of how wrong it is unless they demonstrate that they believe it was wrong for Billy Bush to do it too.

They had hoped that they could keep Billy Bush's commentary out of it, but they should have known the whole thing was going to come out if they let any of it out.

That being said, if this stuff came from NBC, I believe there are legal consequences to them for doing this.

This tape is absolutely nothing compared to Clinton and company’s plan to subvert the Catholic church.

We all new that, it SOP for dems.

What gets me is the number of “October surprises” coming out so early.

Wonder what the big one will be.

Their tactic can be seen in this article, time releases to late to get them discredited.

Rather make a big mistake with his October surprise about Bush and his military service so there was time to discredit it.

Which was done in record time by Buckhead right here on Free Republic

If Trump wins, he needs to remove all embedded bureaucrats from every level of government. He should do something much like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.

All agencies are infested with career politicians disguised as public servants and the last goal of their agenda is to serve the public.

US MEDIA AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL
Still perplexed about WHY this CRAP keeps happening in and to this country and just never seems to end? This will clear it all up!
THE US MEDIA and OTHER CENTERS OF INFLUENCE AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL!

This long forgotten – or completely UNKNOWN among the “snowflakes” and “yutes” — HISTORY of the close relationship between the leftist “educated” (indoctrinated is more like it) “pseudo elite” dumb asses being churned out of colleges and universities here and the Marxist socialism (which, if not strangled in its crib, has ALWAYS morphed into communism) that has failed everywhere it has been tried may aid your understanding of the media’s vicious hatred of Trump and his supporters (the now infamous “DEPLORABLES”).

The sad fact is that the media here is overwhelmingly populated by these deluded dumb asses! Any nefarious, otherwise disreputable act by them is acceptable — even encouraged — because, according to Marxist/socialist methodology, all that matters is “THE STRUGGLE” for their insane Utopian workers’ paradise where all will be equal but some — including most of THEM — will be more equal than others!

You may be growing weary of hearing this but I’ll keep reminding folks until we reach the critical mass needed to defeat them. During Hitler’s rise to power as head of the Nazi (National SOCIALIST) Party in the 30s, he was greatly aided by one Ernst Rohm, head of the SA. Once Hitler had gained total control of Germany, in 1934 he purged (as in KILLED!) the party of EVERY member he felt might challenge his position. His old friend, Herr Rohm was rewarded for his help with a bullet in his brain in a jail cell!

Should this — this — WOMAN and her criminal crew prevail in November, it is my fervent prayer that those who aided her rise suffer similar fates — especially those in the media who have committed countless acts of the sort now the norm in the mendacious media here.

Think her election is impossible? The most dangerous phrase in ANY language is “Why THAT could NEVER HAPPEN HERE!”

I believe the expression that best characterizes the relationship between the media and the Clintons is the old one from the 50s: “FELLOW TRAVELERS”! You “snowflakes”and “yutes” will need to look it up as I doubt your teachers brought it to your attention.

Years ago, Dr. Gary North predicted that the radical left would capture America with the insane and human nature denying goal of “transforming” it into an egalitarian unicorn and rainbow Utopia by “capturing the ROBES”. By that, he meant those institutions we granted various levels of authority over us and our affairs: The clergy, the judiciary... and the ACADEMICS.

The roots of the problems in academia flow back to something referred to as the Frankfurt School and their 1935 move to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and the spread of Marxist thought (now there’s an oxymoron for ya’!) into every area of learning here.

A prime example of the rot now endemic in the academy is the COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF “JOURNALISM”. It is THE premier center for spreading Marxism here in America and it has been incredibly successful in its destruction of traditional and American values. Not only do its direct graduates permeate the media here, but many of them also double as teachers in lesser known institutions of media instruction. Herein lies the genesis of Limbaugh’s descriptive expression “Driveby Media”. Now you know why virtually every so-called “journalist” HATES folks like us.

The Wikipedia entry says that the “...FRANKFURT SCHOOL was founded in 1923 by Carl Grünberg, a Marxist legal and political professor at the University of Vienna,[10] as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research center affiliated with a major German university.[3] However, the school can trace its earliest roots back to Felix Weil, who used money from his father’s grain business to finance the Institute. “

Isn’t it fascinating that here is an early instance of a Marxist ANTI-CAPITALIST organization financing itself with the hated PROFITS of a capitalist business? The hypocrisy is mind-boggling and a precursor to how the wealthy capitalists here fund the Clinton and other leftist machines!

More recent examples of that dichotomy would be the offspring of John D. Rockefeller who have largely spent their lives promoting socialism (using other people’s money, of course). And recently Bill Gates treated us to the wisdom that only SOCIALISM can solve the woes of this world. What these folks refuse to acknowledge that even THEY do not possess sufficient personal wealth to make a dent in those woes if the recipients of that largess are incapable of sustaining themselves once the largess stops flowing or is exhausted.

If one examines the life of Karl Marx, we find a bum who abandoned his wife and family to advance the socialist struggle and never worked or dirtied his hands at day in his life. That sort of thing was for the bourgeoisie, not such an exalted personage as himself. His guilt over that abandonment probably explains Karl’s fondness for state welfare paid for by the labor of others so that his abandoned family wouldn’t perish (not that a mensch like Karl gave a rat’s ass).

Considering who and what Trump has done for the last 50 years I am amazed this is ALL they have on him. I am sure you are much more upset about the language Trump used than I am. Having gone to an all boy technical high school and have been most of my life in the energy business the language used is not that bad.

What I am surprised at, taking the Trump tape into consideration, you would think there would be tons and tons of sexual harassment suits against Trump. But there are not. What does that tell you?

Trumps performance in the 2nd debate blew away their dated 11 year old audio surprise.

It backfired in their faces but good.☺
