All NBC networks and employees who participate in this at all are dead to me. Moostache Oct 2020 #1

The slight silver lining in this - Trump will expect better ratings. forgotmylogin Oct 2020 #15

I was thinking along similar lines. ananda Oct 2020 #23

Trump is sure to get better ratings Klaralven Oct 2020 #32

"This should be considered an illegal campaign contribution." WELL SAID. riversedge Oct 2020 #76

Yeah .. and if Joe wins the time slot the ratings will be FAKE Auggie Oct 2020 #78

Why are you calling out the female hosts? cwydro Oct 2020 #33

Sorry about that, but they are the trio that have hosted the debate analysis... Moostache Oct 2020 #35

There are other male hosts than Brian Williams. cwydro Oct 2020 #38

Sorry, you see an agenda and I see a narrow focus on the coverage I meant Moostache Oct 2020 #45

Probably because you chose to use the "w" word in reference to them. cwydro Oct 2020 #86

Love your analysis but the last paragraph was an arrow straight gut punch. ResistantAmerican17 Oct 2020 #52

What is Reid's bias? phylny Oct 2020 #67

They will just let Trump spout lies. They are incapable of holding him to account for what he says. Doodley Oct 2020 #8
