There is something powerful about the last bit with Mike Pence. Not in the way he would have wanted.

Trump and Biden will hold separate town hall style meetings tomorrow (Australian time) on rival networks in the US, with Biden on ABC and Trump on NBC. Peter Ford said on 3AW this morning the hashtag BoycottNBC is trending in America urging people to boycott NBC’s telecast.
It will be interesting if these meetings will be shown in Australia.

I thought he hated NBC. Hopefully he is challenged and it becomes a shit show.

very few watch these town halls in america, i doubt there would be much interest to air them in full in Australia.

Trump used to front The Apprentice which aired on NBC.

Putting aside people tweeting that hashtag because they dislike Trump, there’s a bit of controversy about NBC putting their Trump town hall directly up against ABC’s Biden town hall broadcast (which was announced first).

Both will be streamed online for those who want to watch them

Yes, But night after night at his rally he calls NBC “Concast” which is a play on nbc parent company Comcast. He then also calls MSNBC, MSDNC to rail against that networks left wing leaning. So my point was he hates nbc despite the apprentice. He’s a fuckwit nonetheless.

That sounds like a particular presenter over here in Australia. Someone who loves referring to ‘Channel 2’ and ‘The Channel Nine press’.

There appears to be disdain from a lot of people within NBC, who (according to CNN’s Brian Stelter) actually reached out to ABC to see if they would shift their Biden town hall around…

Not rich for him to suggest Biden can’t string two sentences together, he’s absolutely useless at forming a coherent sentence.

10 will probably stream CBS’s election coverage online with normal programming on TV to cut costs.

Studio 10 did full coverage in 2016 that went for about 7 hours or something. But yes this year they can just stream CBS’s coverage, even though that is available worldwide for free on the CBS News App.
