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.

They wanted a “virtual” debate and now they’ve got one. Not the kind they imagined, but about as virtual as it gets. And this one will be judged by ratings, not a rigged poll.

Ya truly have to pity people this childish. Then you bend
over laughing.

I haven’t seen a movie in a theater in nearly eight years.

Somehow I’ve survived.

These days I’m seeing their movies for cents rather than
$15 - $20 dollars.

Actors and directors and movie industry opinions are worth
exactly what we pay for them. $0.00

In a way, the pandemic has pushed people back to family.

I like movies on the big screen too, don’t get me wrong,
but it certainly is nice to see the pampered class find
out what their real value to society truly is.

Cents vs $15 - 20 dollar.

LOL!
Poor Joe Biden. He needs his pet celebs to save him from big mean old orange man.

Why don’t these people want a head to head ratings competition?

Both Townhalls will feature Biden Supporters asking the questions, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

I can’t believe POTUS Trump is going back on NBC after the last rigged Townhall they had.

All these people are admitting that few people want to watch Biden answer scripted softball questions from his adoring fans. They would rather see Trump do unarmed combat with hostile moderators and hostile “undecided voters”.

No one cares what Biden has to say about anything, because they know he’s just reading his responses off a teleprompter or repeating what’s being whispered in his ear. Biden and Harris are both fakes and phonies.

I didn’t even know that Trump had scheduled this. When the debate was cancelled and Biden rescheduled for a TV event, I said it would be interesting if they both did separate events on separate channels and see who gets the better ratings.

Not a chance. NBC needs the ratings.

And the chance to be a hero to the left by stacking the crowd with hard-left GOP and IND voters.

NBC will make up for it by putting snide remarks on the screen to try to make Trump look bad

Plus there is always the possibility of Biden wandering off camera or saying stuff like he is running for Senate...in other words Biden might act like Biden.

It’s supposed to be about informing the electorate and voters on the fence, not which one gets better ratings. What’s the point of watching a townhall of someone you already support

Trump backed out of the debate because covid and he didn’t want virtual, so Biden scheduled this townhall so Trump couldn’t reschedule debaste. Trump realized he needs the debate but they wouldn’t let it back on so he does his own town hall. I guess it’s politics

In light of the Hunter Burisma antics eruption I’m guessing ABC is having a difficult time catching enough crickets to fill the audience slot for Biden’s townhall.
