BBV is afraid of its own shadow. There are much better ways to evaluate enterprises now. Just go online and read several user ratings.

With more background info, you can better evaluate the objectivity of news stories, especially those from a news reader who has openly attempted to slime one of the candidates.

The BBB is a bunch of amateurs... the scum at Yelp are the real thugs.

To be fair, it seemed the media he one who thought the rating was important enough to mention, Trump just gave them back what they were trying to pin on him.

Yelp is just like this too.

Angie List is no better.

Blackmail and coercion abounds.

“To be fair, it seemed the media he one who thought the rating was important enough to mention, Trump just gave them back what they were trying to pin on him.”

It was important enough for him to hand them a print out from the BBB with an A rating on it. If he didn’t actually care about them, he would have said so.

Ever heard of suing someone because they have deep pockets? Maybe you are one of the ones who doesn’t believe the U.S. needs Tort Reform. Maybe you believe that woman should have been able to drive up the cost of your Big Mac after she spilled hot coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s. There’s always someone who believes they should get something for nothing.

"Trump has again exposed another corrupt organization."

Only by trying to use them to scam the debate moderators.

The backflips by the Trump Chumps is truly amazing!

I think what you anti-Trump folks need to understand is that when one side in a political debate uses underhanded or dishonest tactics on one of the candidates and gets supported for it by conservatives, it only emboldens them to continue using these techniques on all conservatives. Be mindful of what you wish for.

Here's another good quote from the article at the link:

it is important to know that the BBB is NOT a government organization, not regulated by any regulatory authority, and carries no authority whatsoever over a business on how they conduct their operations. The Better Business Bureau gives the impression that it is a quasi-government agency, when in fact, it is not. In the business world, this would be considered false advertising according to the BBB’s own standards. Quite the hypocrisy here.

Yes. I have also heard of suing someone to get relief when they are unfortunately scammed by con artists.

Okay! So you have a law degree and have passed the bar, and have read all the depositions and court filings in this case to arrive at your opinion — right?

I believe he knew this was coming, so he brought it.

If you think you know the media is going to try to have a got you moment on you, which it has done all along with him, I would have brought it too, to be prepared.

I dont mind anyone shoving anything back in the almighty media’s fat know it all face.
