Instead of a debate with Joe Biden’s former intern tomorrow, we are going to get dueling town halls. Left wing NBC will be hosting a Trump town hall while corrupt ABC will be hosting a Sleepy criminal Joe Biden town hall. Let’s see who gets bigger ratings. While I fully expect the town hall on NBC to be hostile towards Trump and the Biden one to be nothing but lobbed softballs, watching ABC and the left wing media cry like babies is quite entertaining. The Trump town hall on NBC will be in Miami. I have no idea, nor do I care where the Biden one will be.

NBC News’ decision to host a town hall event with President Trump at the exact same time as ABC’s already scheduled event with Democratic nominee Joe Biden is getting criticized by staffers at both networks, stunned media watchers and angry viewers calling for a boycott of the network.
“NBC is doing a real disservice to American voters who won’t get to hear from both candidates,” an ABC News insider told Fox News. “They should be ashamed of failing in their public service duty three weeks before a presidential election to chase ratings instead.”
The New Yorker’s Sue Halpern called the decision “stunning and shameful,” while veteran political analyst Jeff Greenfield called it “indefensible.”
The issue was a hot topic on Twitter, where some people even speculated that NBC is trying to help Trump by scheduling the events for the same time while others called to boycott the network. Some of the backlash even came from within the Peacock Network, according to reporter Yasher Ali.
“I’ve heard from over a dozen NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC sources (talent and staff) and the frustration with and anger toward their employer for scheduling a town hall against Biden is palpable,” Ali tweeted.
NBC News determined the format, date, duration and time slot, Fox News has learned from an NBC insider who maintained the Trump campaign did not dictate any logistics of the event.
