Highlight:

NBC faces blowback for booking a Trump town hall Thursday up against Biden's on ABC. [View all] Eugene Oct 2020 OP

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

The point of this is not about ratings for most Bev54 Oct 2020 #53

"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

I disagree. Freak shows and car accidents out draw civil informative content. SayItLoud Oct 2020 #80

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

They are the only ones I watch. phylny Oct 2020 #64

NBC has jumped the shark. LakeArenal Oct 2020 #2

You took a bold stand, calling out some talking heads who are very popular here in DU parts. ResistantAmerican17 Oct 2020 #10

Not a bold stand. It's only one opinion in millions. LakeArenal Oct 2020 #14

So tell us what's so wrong with them; most important, what you want in cable news & anchors. ancianita Oct 2020 #16

Independent impartial reporting. LakeArenal Oct 2020 #57

Lol! Ok! Nt USALiberal Oct 2020 #65

Brianna Keiler is one name that comes to mind as a straight forward real deal type. ResistantAmerican17 Oct 2020 #68

Good points. calimary Oct 2020 #37

Seems like I'm not the only one but hey, again that's your opinion. LakeArenal Oct 2020 #92

I agree 100%. Don't know what their thinking is, but maybe Comcast is calling the shots now? George II Oct 2020 #39

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

No disrespect intended, but I can't answer that question. George II Oct 2020 #79

... the anger toward NBC for scheduling a town hall against Biden is palpable IcyPeas Oct 2020 #3

I may not watch NBC for the rest of this year. In_The_Wind Oct 2020 #4

Ditto.Nt Kahuna Oct 2020 #11

I will no longer watch NBC. This is sicking to me and smacks of partisanship. Chuck Toad ... SWBTATTReg Oct 2020 #5

Good point about Trump's fingerprints. The ol' broke horse gets to stay in the media horse race. ancianita Oct 2020 #18

I would like to see Rachel, Joy, and Nicole moderate the event. Pepsidog Oct 2020 #74

NBC execs are turning this into a TV ratings contest, Trump vs. Biden dalton99a Oct 2020 #7

You just spoke the truth. Wellstone ruled Oct 2020 #19

It should be registered as a donation to the Trump campaign JHB Oct 2020 #34

I'm fine with it being a ratings contest Amishman Oct 2020 #40

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

Everyone should notice that besides the bullshit he's suddenly loving Americans AND ancianita Oct 2020 #66

The very least they could do is run it at a different hour. C_U_L8R Oct 2020 #9

Could NBC be any more blatant in showing how desperate they are to bullwinkle428 Oct 2020 #12

NBC is making so much money on Trump Miguelito Loveless Oct 2020 #13

Shouldn't Trump be in quarantine?? Rhiannon12866 Oct 2020 #21

No, trump should be in prison. SoonerPride Oct 2020 #22

Come on now, we shouldn't imprison the mentally ill Amishman Oct 2020 #46

Well, that goes without saying Rhiannon12866 Oct 2020 #72

It is shameful. Music Man Oct 2020 #24

I kept a full FiOS HD package for HBO and MSNBC. I got sick of MSNBC and cut the TV cord. TheBlackAdder Oct 2020 #25

NBC is too big to be influenced by the American public's opinion of this decision. ancianita Oct 2020 #26

Watch Joe. I'll be with him and you. LakeArenal Oct 2020 #88
