NBC has severed all ties with Donald Trump after his insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants.
"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the network said in a statement. "To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue."
During the speech where he announced his run for the presidency, Trump said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best .... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."

Truth used to be its own defense....not sure today but I think he noted in an interview he has a contract and expects them to abide by it.
All he did was tell the truth. We have been invaded by Mexico and no one but Trump will tell the truth. I am really starting to like him. He won’t get the nomination but he will make some of the RINO traitors step up their game.
yes Popcorn time - may I join you as we watch the battle?
Cool. Wonder what NBC would think if Donald Trump buys them out and fires the lot of them. Renames the network “Trump” as in trump card.
Sure they can, but "firing" someone for being honest is a little heavy handed.
Heck, we need that type honesty in the country again. Even the left wing talking heads are starting to write books about the lefts censoring tactics. Even the some-what-sensible-left is getting sick of it! (Because they can't speak freely either. Moderate leftists are going to dropping like flies as well, because even they can't take it anymore.)
Dang, I was initially bummed that Trump got into the field for 2016, but I have to say he may be doing the country a favor by just putting it out there. He’s absolutely correct about the border and the quality of people swarming over it. He’s also correct that these foreign countries are NOT engaging in fair trade. I kind of like the way he does not back down from the rampant political correctness.
So now the media can hype this and ruin his campaign.
A Great Texan, San Houston, once said: “The Truth burns, but burns clean.” It seems that NBC can’t handle the Truth.
I’m curious as to whether he can keep this up. I hope he can. I find his rhetoric refreshing.
None of the other candidates of either party have the courage to say anything about what is really going on.
...
However, I wonder if this is all theater designed to give Trump credibility with Conservatives. After all, he may be a double agent working for the Democrats.
Viva The Donald!!!
Let’s all stop watching NBC.
Then it will become very cheap and The Donald can buy it.
The Donald will sue sue sue until NBC is black and blue!!
Donald was talking about the Illegal Invaders, not the honest immigrants who came here legally
Trump says Univision is Targeting Him on orders of the Mexican Gov’t. “The Mexican government and their agents are putting tremendous pressure on Univision to break their contract with the Miss Universe Organization because I’ve exposed bad trade deals the US is incompetently making with Mexico....and b/c I’ve exposed the terrible things happening on the southern border,” Trump said. (Univision announced it will end its plans to carry the Miss Universe pageants. Trump is co-owner of the pageant organization.)

Inside the Univision-Clinton network
Politico ^ | 5/12/15 | By HADAS GOLD and MARC CAPUTO / FR Posted by SoFloFreeper
The ties between the Clintons and the Spanish language television network run deep. When Bill took center stage at Univision’s upfront presentation for advertisers and the media last month, it marked more than just one of his many paid appearances.
The relationship between the Clintons and Univision is deep — from owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillary Clinton’s election effort to a partnership between Univision and the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, to the network’s newscasts that have bashed Republicans and, most recently, praised Hillary’s new position on immigration — putting her squarely in line with the network’s stance on the issue.

====================================================
Bill Clinton fronts for massive Univision debt--- UNIVISION used Clinton to manipulate Wall Street while holding $9billion in debt.
AGIT PROP W/ SPECIAL SAUCE Manipulating the financial sector---Univision reports it has more viewers than abccbsnbc.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
NYP EXCERPT---Univions trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat. Univision’s owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks. Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.) Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake.Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy business: free-to-air.

THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. (WIKI)
WIKI--Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.
Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5]
Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28)
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]
Haim Saban, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

Well if Trump has a contract with NBC for the pageant they will get sued. They are not going to win this war with Trump. He knows how to fight the MSM. Every other GOP candidate should be taking notes. But they won’t.
NBC liberals cannot handle the truth!
