Final Debate Bias: NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell Is a Harris Donor
NewsBusters ^ | 10/21/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 10/21/2020 7:30:06 AM PDT by JV3MRC

Americans should be skeptical of a NBC News liberal moderating the final presidential debate after the network’s anti-Trump mud-slinging festival of a town hall it moderated last week.

Donation records provide a glaring reason why.

Earlier reporting showed that NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell personally gave at least $30,600 exclusively to Democrats this cycle while he was still Chairman of NBCU Film and Entertainment. FEC data showed that he had given the maximum FEC-allowed $2,800 to the failed presidential campaign of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) — now Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden’s running mate. This means that the overseer of the entire NBC decision-making apparatus, including NBC News, is monetarily tied to the Democratic vice presidential nominee. The chosen moderator, NBC News White House Correspondent Kristen Welker, has also recently come under fire for her deep Democratic ties.

If liberals can’t stack the deck, they don’t want to play

I worked at Universal when Lew Wasserman was in charge.

Never would have happened under him.

How about the president addresses him as Mr. Shill? It ought to bring the debate to a fast halt....then he could say he was “sorry” IF he offended him....

Trump has unblockable access to his microphone during his time.

Refute every Biden lie.

Trump should make sure that Americans know he will act to keep gasoline and electricity prices from rising due to federal action such as a carbon tax on gasoline, natural gas or electricity.

Trump should let American families know he will not impose federal financial burdens on them by indirect means such as requiring utilities to spend $10000 per household on new generating equipment.

Trump needs to explain that Obama cut Social Security taxes for two years to boost the economy and a far shorter but still effective Social Security tax cut will prime additional economic pumps and pay off in future years just like Obama’s Social Security tax cut did.

They can own the moderator. They can pre-plan the questions. They can give Joe an earpiece and some advisors speaking to him live. They can cut Trump’s microphone and give Biden more time. They can give Trump hardball questions and Biden little weak questions. They can give Trump bad camera angles. They can give Biden a friendly audience. And yet! They are still no match for Donald Trump.

NBC/Universal and Comcast would collect money among the executives for the DNC. They are very China centric. They are hoping to open a multi-billion dollar theme park in China. They need China to make their movies profitable. And they hope to have CNBC and NBC programing in China. China is make or break for them. So they can’t help Trump. China is watching them very closely. ABC and CBS have many of the same issues. Fox sold their movie business. So they are the only network not beholden to China. And by the way, your cable box is programmed in China. China knows what shows you are watching if you are a Comcast customer. Comcast fired their own programmers and hired programmers in China to replaced them with programmers from China.

Trump agreed. He rolled over. Maybe it is a game for him.
Anyone else would have told them no way can you can DNC employees with a mute button at a debate protecting Biden.

Trump should remain calm, cool, and collected.

He must use his UNINTERUPTED 2 minutes to make his case. FORGET THE QUESTIONS - Give them 30 seconds top with a quick response and then use a minute and a half to say what HE wants.

For instance Climate Change:

“The United States is NOT the problem when it comes to what is called Climate Change. Our air and water quality overall is the best it has been in years and improves because of all OUR initiatives around clean energy. America will not be hamstrung economically because other nations specifically China, Russia, India, and others, are doing next to nothing to curb emissions and pollution.

The Socialist GREEN NEW DEAL ENERGY HOAX supported by my opponent would RUIN the American Economy, Destroy millions of jobs, and cost Trillions and Trillions of dollars. Amazingly the authors of the GREEN NEW DEAL say it is less about clean energy and fighting pollution and more about Government Control of peoples lives. The American people want freedom and NOT the boot of the “SWAMP” on their necks.”

AND PLEASE Mr. President when asked about COVID say more than we closed the border to China. Talk about the fact that you:

“I Raised the issue of the China Virus at the State of the Union. When Crazy Nancy Pelosi, like a spoiled child, ripped my speech into pieces.

We Closed the border to China. This alone likely SAVE Millions of Lives.

Assembled a Task Force of experts. Everything we have done was done based on SCIENCE.

We provided Hospital Beds, Health Care Professionals, PPE, and ventilators to every State that needed them.

We have launched Operation Warp Speed which is delivering Therapeutics NOW and will deliver a vaccines any day to end this Pandemic.

Talking about PPE. We learned just how badly the previous administrations did in giving away our manufacturing to China. Joe Biden and the previous administration left us woefully under prepared because the same country that gave us the VIRUS also owned most of the PPE supply chain. Joe Biden talks about making things America NOW after selling out our nation to China and other countries for the previous 47 years.”

That took about a minute and a half.

Trump needs to do the same.

We discovered just how badly our Supply Chain was
