NBC complaint: Town Hall

Talk about October surprises!! I watch the Today Show every morning along with Lester Holt’s Evening news and some MSNBC in between – which is to say I’m a loyal viewer. I can’t even express how surprised, shocked and appalled I was to hear the announcement this morning that Savannah Guthrie would be hosting a private Town Hall for a president who REFUSED to do a virtual Town Hall organized by the CPD – and agreed to by Joe Biden – in response to the coronavirus. As if the president doesn’t get enough free publicity with his tweets and presidential- events-turned-rally, now he’s getting free air time without his opponent there to respond. This feels to me very much like Jim Comey’s late our announcement in 2016. Letting one candidate, with tens of thousands of lies already documented since he took office, say anything he wants on national TV. I am so deeply disappointed in NBC. I would expect this from Fox News but never of you. If this reflects a new turn in your policies I’ll be rethinking my loyalty to your network. I’m not sure if I’m more outraged or saddened.
