    Trump town hall sparks behind-the-scenes fury at NBC

    MIAMI — NBC has been rocked by an internal feud over its decision to host a town hall with Donald Trump at the same time as ABC’s Thursday event with Joe Biden, a scheduling move that critics contend is a gift to the president after he refused to participate in a debate originally scheduled for Thursday.

    The internal conflict extends to the highest levels of NBCUniversal, where MSNBC head Phil Griffin strongly disagreed with NBC News President Noah Oppenheim’s decision to unilaterally move forward with the town hall during that time slot, according to three high-ranking sources at the TV media giant.

    Trump just repeated the same tripe he has been. Again, he shared no real plans or much anything of substance I thought Savannah did a good job.

    Biden is actually going in to all his plans. He is carrying on a bit at times, but he is talking about all the right things.

    Biden is sharing crap. Toeing the "company" line.

    We saw a president talk today.

    And a child screaming at the cameras.

    I listen to a little of both and Guthrie was out to get Trump, that was obvious but OK.
    Joe got an armchair discussion with a gentlemen.
    You'd think that of all the candidates of both parties between 2016 & 2020, we'd come up with better selections.

    Fake News

    He said instead of cops going for the kill if they need to shoot someone, shoot them in the leg, somewhere that won't kill them. He talked about police reform.

    Context matters

    Biden didn't get off Scott free. Stephanopoulos asked him hard questions too.

    not a great answer but not a big deal. Shooting someone in the leg can still be lethal.

    Didnt see it all, but the question about fracking was presented to him in a congenial manner, I thought. Im sure those two are buds and Stepanopoulos didn't come across as trying to bait Joe. Which is cool.

    It can be if you shoot them in the femoral. I do think police need to be trained to take non lethal shots rather than lethal ones and that is very doable.
