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.

And your point being
Who picks the audience? I have a feeling......this being the MSM after all... that it will be seeded with Democrat plants who will try to make Trump look bad even as the audience for Biden all but offers to change his depends and perform sexual services upon him.
Can’t stand Savannah. She is such a snide bitch, which was already my opinion even before her treatment of Nick Sandmann.
A ratings war. Who wins?
Will definitely be setup with loaded questions on race and whats your favorite Bible verse and stuff that they’ll use to try and trip him up. He better be prepared and ready to have a good showing
Hiden Biden will definitely wimp out and NBC will cancel because they know that PDJT will talk about the Hunter Laptop scandal ad Infinitum.
Darn! You copied my response before I could send it!
I wonder how many times NBC will call Trump a white supremacist.
Yes, let’s!
oh yeah, but the network is not politically biased in any way....mmmhmmm
Question I wish Trump would ask to a fake “undecided” voter at a town hall: “If you’re still undecided, there must be things about me that you like. What are they?”
The ratings will be HUVE for Trump and Biden ratings will be like one of his rallies!!!
Looking forward to Trump’s tweets on Friday morning crowing about how he slaughtered Biden in the Town Hall ratings.
HUVE = HUGE GEEZE
NBC is carrying it.
Neglected to mention the MSM is really, really mean.
Does that better serve your level of focus?
the “talent”...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
“Talent.”
Yeah, right.
Just stuff in some more fake “undecided voters” to try to sandbag Trump, then you’ll feel better, you f’in simpletons
Nice one. That would be epic.
