9. NBC is messed up ...
Sun Sep 18, 2016, 11:35 AM

This is very concerning. Here's something else I noticed from NBC last night. After the explosion in Manhattan, once NBC finally posted news about it, their actual post on the explosion was immediately followed by a post about trump announcing the explosion. ???!!! That post included a 0.33 second video, apparently of trump (based on headline & still image I could see). I dared not click the link much less watch the video. So, to be fair, maybe the video made a fool of trump.

Anyway, I was periodically checking my apps to see what headlines the three major (traditional?) networks had, something I've been doing, not b/c I trust they have real or balanced news ... whole other story. BTW, CBS was the first of these three to report the explosion. CBS & ABC actually stuck to Manhattan news w/o bringing djt into it, last I looked (late last night, Sat. the 17th).

So what's the deal? Did someone say NBC is owned by Comcast? Does Comcast -- or their sponsors -- have connections to trump or his business dealings? I thought their was a falling out between NBC & djt last summer. Did that change? Is someone at NBC or Comcast being bribed? Blackmailed? Threatened somehow? I'm not usually into suspicious lines or conspiracy theories, but this is too weird.

Or did anyone else watch the video? Did it make a fool of trump? If so, I'm sorry I spent your time w/ above paragraph. I just can't bring myself fo watch it. And I don't want to reward "MSM" w/ clicks on stuff like that.
