Savannah Guthrie Praised for Trump Town Hall
/
NBC was rejected for scheduling a town hall with Donald Trump in the same time period that ABC had scheduled a town hall with Joe Biden.
You know it was bad for NBC, when even Elaine said not to watch the network:
NBC News boss Cesar Conde: "Our decision is motivated only by fairness, not business considerations."
Fairness? Was NBC News being fair when they spiked the story on Harvey Weinstein? Was NBC News being fair when they ignored the claims against Matt Lauer? Was NBC News being fair when they fired Ann Curry?
I’m sorry, but NBC is not fair and I call bullshit.
Despite the pushback, NBC went along with the town hall, and once again, when Donald Trump gets outside of Fox News where he is not fact-checked or asked tough questions, he was exposed.
Savannah Guthrie moderated the town hall and she is being praised for the job she did.
Well, except by the Trump campaign was quick to issue a statement attacking her, which is something they dod every time a Journalist asks Trump a “hard” question.
Guthrie took Trump to task for retweeting a story that Obama/Biden faked the killing of Osama Bin Laden:

Guthrie often pushed back on Trump’s false claims, something that most of the people over at Fox News don’t have the guts to do.
Guthrie showed that exposing Trump has a liar and not very well informed is fairly easy. It also shows you why Trump rarely sits down with Journalists outside Fox News.
The Emperor has no clothes.
