Hollywood figures ask NBC to remove Trump town hall from Biden slot
New York Post ^ | 10/15/2020 | Teton Steinbuch

Posted on 10/15/2020 9:59:23 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

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.

Possible scenario: Biden backs out because of COVID-19 “exposure”, forcing NBC to back out due to “fair” coverage.

Probably scenario actually.

“Tough $hit, Hollyweird moonbats.”

The truth hasn’t hit them yet — that they’re ancient history. Hollywood is OVER.

Hollywood idiots want Trump off the air???

What are they worried about? All the polls show Biden is far ahead. All the people should be watching Biden anyway, so what is their beef here?

Irrespective of formal ratings by Nielsen or whoever, every provider can track the number of viewers. I’d suggest to all my FRiends that everyone needs to have their tv on NBC tonight. Hard, I know, but let’s get the viewership numbers up

This is an interesting choice....do we watch Biden to see if he stumbles? If we do that gives abc a viewer to count.

IF we did this they would say Biden "drew" more than Trump and would attempt to use this as a gauge of where the country is.

You may be right. Little Stephy was there. I got confused because POTUS Trump had mentioned Lester Holt at one of his Rallies.

Me bad...

This is a free speech issue.

Try telling them that no two of them can talk at the same time in different locations or that no two of them can release a new movie on the same weekend.

Then watch the hypocrites scream.

Here you see Hollywood actors going all-out for CENSORSHIP.
Don’t they realize how hypocritical that is?
Have to ask “How long have you been one of Biden’s flying monkeys?”

I have a nifty idea...

Why doesn’t Biden just reschedule his show? I mean, I’m sure that it would have to be before his bedtime.

Both Newtwork Shows (they are NOT Town-Halls) will be rigged by so-called 'journalists...

Rigged to favor Biden - rigged to damage Trump...

Journalists are butt boys for democrats.

Biden's 'citizens' will be chosen for their likability and warm questions. Those that do 'challenge' is do so in a way that allows Biden to 'clear up' an issue. Biden's questions will be chosen by white liberal 'elites' who want Biden elected. They will sift through the people who submit questions for the ones that show Biden in the best light.

Trump's town hall 'citizens' will be angry women who want to know why their children at starving, their parents dying in NY nursing homes, and will share their joy of having abortion. The men will quote the number of people killed by Covid - forgetting to mention Trump acted quickly to close down all people coming from China.... Town Hall questions will be chosen by white liberal 'elites' who hate Trump... they'll be chosen based on how much damage they might do to Trump.

The fake town-halls are rigged.

“I guess Liberals have a problem with “Choice”, unless it involves Murdering a Baby on the Womb.”

This is a clear view of liberalasses having big problems with any choices that isn’t their choice.

They are doing everything they can to squash a free exchange of ideas that is not controlled by one of their own.

They fear that Trump’s town hall will dwarf Biden’s by at least 10 to 1. They also fear hearing the truth via Trump’s town hall versus Biden’s pack of lies and softball questions. Which candidate is a lot more exciting to watch? Which candidate will have the more massive crowd and enthusiasm?

They fear that Trump will speak to a national audience about Biden's corruption, regarding the emails that FaceBook, Twitter, etc have been trying hard to suppress and keep people from finding out about.

What the Libs don't want is the following:

Trump kills Biden in the ratings. Trump talks about it ad infinitum.

That WILL happen.

Trump is a master showman.

Biden is a sad old nursing home patient who is losing his marbles. It’s actually difficult to watch him.

Wait a minute. I thought Biden was like a zillion points ahead and that Trump had zero percent chance of winning re-election.

That being the case, won't Biden crush Trump in the Town Hall ratings tonight?
