I’m not a lawyer, so I have no idea the basis for such a lawsuit.
I just know that were you and I in that audience, we wouldn’t have played by NBC’s anti-free speech, robot rules.
I know we would have stood to shout and applaud every answer given by Newt and booed all of Romney’s attacks.
Had we been removed, then ... lawsuit, you betcha!
The audience erred in going along to get along. They out-numbered Brian Willaims and all of security on the scene.
Those well-mannered folks just needed a couple of rebels! I’m pretty much surprised, given the location: Tampa.
Must have been too many Yankees in that otherwise Southern audience! LOL.
Point is that the audience did NOT follow the rules, there were plenty of noise from the audience. They were NOT removed.
The rule only applied to those NBC wanted to silence. Even a threat of a lawsuit would stop this media manipulation. If we don’t draw the line now, when?
No one yells fire, no conservaative has ever tried to out yell the moderators or candidates. The “rule” is against the law!
This will backfire on the media, sure’s shootin!
