NBC, MSNBC And CNBC ‘Talent And Staff’ Are Reportedly Frustrated And Angry Over Upcoming Trump Town Hall
Daily Caller ^ | 10/14/20 | SHELBY TALCOTT

Multiple people at NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC are reportedly angry over NBC’s decision to host a town hall for President Donald Trump Thursday, according to reporter Yashar Ali.

“I’ve heard from over a dozen NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC sources (talent and staff) and the frustration with and anger toward their employer for scheduling a town hall against Biden is palpable,” Ali tweeted Wednesday.

The second presidential debate, originally scheduled for Thursday, October 15, was canceled after Trump objected to a virtual format proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The format was presented following Trump’s Oct. 2 announcement that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Instead of the debate, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden agreed to a town hall with ABC News Thursday, to air at 8 p.m. NBC announced Wednesday that it will hold a town hall for Trump at the same time – reportedly prompting backlash from multiple “talent and staff” across the networks owned by NBCUniversal.

NBC’s town hall will be outdoors and “TODAY” anchor Savannah Guthrie “will moderate a conversation between Trump and a group of Florida voters,” the network announced. The town hall will comply with guidelines and government regulations put in place amid the pandemic.

ABC News will not be moving its town hall despite NBC’s announcement, according to Ali. NBC News did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller.

You really shouldn’t use the word talent and NBC in the same sentence.

“Let’s compare TV ratings on both.”

That’s exactly what these Leftists are afraid of. They know what the viewership results will be.

Three things I know for sure ...

1. There will be no undecided voters, they are all for Biden.
2. There will only be gotcha questions.
3. NBC will make a ton of money because the ratings will be huge compared to Biden's townhall.

You can be sure they will try and make it as contentious as possible. Trump needs to come off as well as he did when he did the fox townhall a few months ago.

Democrat Joe Biden has much bigger problems then having POTUS Trump take him to the cleaners on the same night via dueling Town Hall Meetings!!!

Methinks...Biden might even back out of his Town Hall meeting on ABC and he will remain hidden away in his basement cave...forever for the most obvious of reason...the criminal Biden is!!!

It’s not about them or it shouldn’t be. it is about the American people choosing who they will vote for by hearing from the candidates.

yes — if one could get an accurate comparison. So many institutions have been corrupted that even so-called ratings may not be trustworthy.
