Old lady to NBC....Count me out!

I don’t have a lot of power, but whatever tiny scrid is left is going to be used directly against NBC.

What an all-American idea they came up with. Give a dangerous fascist some extra airtime. Make certain viewers have additional opportunity to listen to lies about the pandemic. Lies about the economy. Lies about justice. Lies about voter fraud. Lies about everything. EVERYTHING!

What a terrific idea. Offer airtime to someone who approves of installing phony ballot collection boxes, putting children in cages, denigrating soldiers and their families, destroying institutions.
Give airtime to a president who invites Russian spies into the White House and attaches the word enemy to reporters. A thug with a 24-karat bathroom and unlimited access to mobsters back in New York and he gets preferential treatment. He and his thuglet daughter and thuglet sons. Way to go, NBC.

Know what? I’m going to do a Nancy Reagan and Just-Say-No. No to NBC, no to Chuck Todd, no to Trump the fascist. Trump has covered our country in a putrid stench and I’m not going to help add to it.

It's criminally negligent for NBC to air him. People die because of his misinformation.

I said goodbye for good to Chris Hayes and New York times since 2016. Rachel and Nicole are the only ones left at MSNBC worth anything anyway.

It's amazing to me in the day and age that NBC has executives that are either clueless -- or worse -- hard core Repubs that only care about money and power. They can't be too bright -- is Chuck Todd the best that they can do? ARGH!!!

and hopefully millions of others are as well, and will give Joe the ratings trump craves. it will really piss him off, as if he could ever be even more aggrieved than he is.

Though I don't see any reason why NBC had to have the town hall aired on MSNBC as well, though I suppose it was inevitable. It seems a lot of MSNBC people are not happy with this decision.

I'm sure some network would have given Trump a town hall, but to give it to him at the same time as Biden's scheduled town hall is ridiculous. The only reason ABC is airing Biden's town hall is because Trump backed out of the scheduled debate. So he throws a childish tantrum and then gets equal time on a different network? It is irresponsible to appease this monster. I would understand if it was Fox. I wonder if Trump had asked and they refused.

If they had an hour of airtime to spare, why not gather a panel of epidemiologists and doctors to present some facts and advice about COVID-19 in a way that would be helpful and informative?

Why not do something right for a change, instead of this fool bloviating over, and over? We're Team ABC tonight and the Joe Biden Town Hall.

not at all watching Trump . The ratings will show who got most views. just don't tune it to the POS town hall. then get right back to watching Rachel.

I don't know if my view will count because I live in Canada.

I watch MSNBC everyday. sometimes CNN. mostly from 4 to midnight. sometimes in the am as well.
I am in my 70s. I came to Canada for political reasons.
I am very progressive.

I thought I read awhile ago that NBC was bought by a right-wing corporation. Perhaps they allowed this because of the guys on on the top. I don't know for sure.

This week Sen. Whitehouse presented well the horrible facts that dark money wants to control all of us. My US history teacher told the class about it. Sadly he died last July. I would have liked to talk to him about this election.

America is imploding from corruption. My US history high school teacher predicted this in 1964. He predicted it would be between
2001 - 2026

scary, how prophetic he was. I feel fortunate to be alive to see Obama's eight no scandal years. You had a very awesome president. I hope biden gets in.
