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.

I got a call last night from the Democrat party inviting me to a Town Hall tele-conference tomorrow night. The Host of the event is Cori Bush who is from Ferguson, MO and she is running for a seat on the MO congressional 1st district.

I was very hesitant at first, but relented after a lengthy chat with a cute brainless bimbo. I had to educate her on the proper way to pronounce the democrat party instead of the democratic party.

It should be interesting to hear the talking points. I plan on keeping a tally of comments and remarks.

It's the Democrat Party. Because there is absolutely nothing democratic about them. Ask Bernie Sanders.

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

Maybe we could get a volunteer "designated Freeper" to watch Biden and post on a live thread, while the rest of us watch PDJT.

They don’t want people to see what will be a 10-1 ratings advantage for Trump.

I went through the list. I recognized 16 usual suspects. So glad they’re all on the other side.

Improved Voting Machine Will Ask If A Celebrity Told You To Vote So It Can Immediately Discard Your Ballot

The Babylon Bee ^ | October 13, 2020 | The Babylon Bee

“We are extremely concerned about celebrity influence in this election,” said Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. “According to several authoritative studies, celebrities are literally the worst. We can’t allow our future to be determined by celebrities or anyone insane enough to listen to them.”
