Conservatives have erupted in anger after NBC's Savannah Guthrie grilled Donald Trump with a 'question every 12 seconds' while ABC's George Stephanopoulos was accused of forgetting to ask Joe Biden about his son Hunter's emails.Trump and Biden both held their town halls Thursday evening, with viewers forced to choose between the clashing timetables after the president scheduled his to go head to head with his competitor. On NBC, Trump was asked about coronavirus, QAnon, his own diagnosis and his taxes by Guthrie while, on ABC, Biden spoke LGBTQ rights, court packing and the 1994 crime bill with Stephanopoulos. But Republicans voiced outrage about the president's campaign event, accusing Guthrie

Happened on the first five minutes of Biden’s townhall. I saw about five people. The first guy up asked a multipart pro-Biden question only a pressitude would ask. Stacked deck indeed.

Trump handled it well! He was polite when Samantha was Badgering him. He got in everything he wanted to say. He did not bring up the accusations about Biden. I was kind of surprised at that! Samantha didn't let the Audience participate enough and when they did, she interjected and grilled Trump on the issue. It was the Samantha Show IMHO! But Trump won the night, Bigley!

She was horrible. Rude, condescending and devoid of facts (used myths as facts to 'correct' Trump multiple times). What really struck me was the fact NBC ignored men. The one 'man' question wasn't there and Guthrie read 'his' question. As fame as NBC is, I seriously doubt there was a 'man' stuck in traffic. So the only voters that matter in this country, according to NBC, is women. Men need not apply. Of course this is part of the DNC's war on men for generations now and NBC is only following orders. We all get that. But talk about overt sexism!

As a long time Trump supporter, I felt this was an opportunity, I wouldn't say wasted, but not fully exploited. The campaign should send the POTUS better armed to quickly answer the following (1) How do you plan to address the COVID pandemic from now on - don't dwell on stopping travel from China and saving 2 million lives.(2). What will you do to maintain speedy economic and social recovery. (3.) What are some of the specifics of replacing 0bamacare. Even if they have not been enacted yet.. There are non lengthy answers. He should be better coached to deliver them quickly and effectively. (4) Keep some zingers ready to give rude nitwits like Guthrie a back hand across the windpipe.

Guthrie is a typical Nazi working for her party. A "mean gurl" with her 15 minutes in the spotlight.
No one should be surprised by her performance.
But can you imagine going through life that ugly? No lips, an over bite, obnoxious voice and a pushed up nose. Not fit to wipe Ivanka's stilettos and she knows it too! She's mean to President Trump because she's jealous of his daughter.

The main stream media has lost the trust and confidence of the American people. Instead of reassurance, the phrase "I read it in the newspaper" introduces doubt and even disbelief into any discussion. The lack of credibility is becoming more and more evident and widespread (even Fox now - who would believe Chris Wallace or Juan Williams about anything?) as we approach a critical election which will only inspire more controversy.
When the "Decline and Fall of the United States" is written, chapter one will describe the corruption of the press.

Not only did I think Guthrie was rude and outrageous (even if she had marching orders) but she should have washed her hair and ditched those 8 foot heels! As to Stephanopolis, what can you say------the fact that so many important issues, not the least being the Hunter Biden business, never came up is at this point expected. Which is why it is even more infuriating that AG Barr and Durham won't release what they have, at least a partial release. Because if Biden gets in nothing will ever see the light of day again.....which is a MASSIVE disservice to the American people who would like to think we are all held to the same standard. What a joke!

Why is anyone surprised? Serious question. Years ago the "main stream media" dropped all pretence of objectivity or fairness. Where have you been? They don't even try to hide the fact that they are the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. You thought that George S was a journalist? And Savannah Guthrie? Hahahahaha. I get the outrage-- it is outrageous that the US has lost the absolutely necessary fair and free press. But surprise? Shock? It's like being shocked by Pravda in 1980.

Last night was all about the msm and its belief that only it decides who will be president. I didn't waste my time tuning in to Bite Me's town hall. But, sounds like Stephie gave Bite Me an easy night and ignored his criminal acts in China and Ukraine.
I saw about half of the President's town hall. It wasn't a town hall at all. It was a debate with Guthrie. Guthrie made the town hall all about her. At least a third of the time was wasted with her bitchy style of goading the president and getting him off topic. The President did fine under the circumstances. While I would like him to be better coached to deal with weasels like Guthrie, he delivered plenty of pertinent points. The woman who was behind the President nodding her head in support and approval was great. Probably the only reason why the audience didn't just stand up in disgust of Guthrie and walk out. This is the problem. The audience didn't get into Guthrie's face, give her the loud boos, and just leave five minutes in.

If you watched those two so-called town halls which the two Democrat moderators attempted to make into a “chill” for Biden and a “kill” try against Trump, it should be evident that the Democrats are now trying to deflect from and obscure their socialist political agenda by dwelling on the wearing of face masks, and by setting up bogus questions claiming that Trump supports White Supremacists when in reality Trump has for years denounced the very small number of actual White Supremacists around the country who are 24/7 under surveillance by the FBI; while the Democrats completely ignore the very violent ANTIFA anarchist movement ( in reality who have been acting as leftist Democrat foot soldiers) that have been perpetrating riots, arson, assaults on police officers, and looting in the Democrat run cities around the country.

Was anyone here truly expecting that the 2 town halls would be remotely alike? Were you really thinking that NBC/Guthrie would suddenly become respectful toward our President and ask him honest, thoughtful questions?
C'mon. The real problem here is why Trump and his staff would agree he should participate in such a farce. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can try to spin it and say it gave viewers a chance to see the disdainful MSM in action. Sure, but we've all seen their hostility and lies every day, every hour, since the escalator ride. Trump chose this venue knowing full well what he'd encounter. He must've thought the opportunities for him outweighed any risks. I'm not gonna second-guess him, but from my perspective this looks like a classic case of "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars...but in ourselves..." I don't see how we can legitimately blame Guthrie or NBC for their disgusting behavior when we all knew their modus operandi well in advance.

I watched all of the Bidenfest last night, more spot clusters (each running 4 minutes with multiple ABC promos) whenever he started to babble. The other hilarious thing was watching the "questioners" on a two shot look like they just took a right hook from Mike Tyson, It was hilarious and maddening at the same time.

The "media" will do as it always does and always has done - that is, it will color all things Trump in as bad a light as it can and will avoid bristly subjects with Joe "I'm hidin'" Biden. Why bother to watch when you know exactly what they are doing?

Savannah Guthrie has trailer trash hair and an ego the size of Texas. All the questions were accusatory and/or gotcha. The pres. handled it pretty well. Especially good was the question about his taxes. How could someone not understand that his properties are worth far more than $470 million?
Biden must have had the questions beforehand because he rambled on about such stupid minutia. It also helped eat up time. I would bet Trump answered triple the number of questions in less time.

During the Biden questioning one of the questioners asked something about the economy Biden reached into his pocket and pulled out some sort of paper and said I have some information right here! Also on Trump side he was asked a question on masks and tried to reply about the CDC info that says * 80 % people with the virus were mask wearers she stopped him ! He tried to bring it up again with the same result. No one wants to hear about masks not working.

I'm happy President Trump did the interrogation...it showed viewing liberals the difference between a competent male and a snarky female... who... based on what I've read... is a very unhappy and angry woman...happy I missed the spectacle....it reminds me of a movie I find informative... Gladiator... where an accomplished man... General Maximus is sold into slavery because he was a threat to the immoral caesar... his compatriot says.... caesar must kill your NAME... before he kills you....sound familiar?

When I finally get my chance to vote --- in person --- in my mind I will hear a musket shot going off for every check mark I put next to a Republican. From POTUS down to local state assembly and civil judges I will NOT vote Democrat. May my hand atrophy and fall off if I do such a thing. And I will also picture a montage of me slapping everyone of these lying media types for what they have done.
Just imagine anyone talking to Obama in the same way and with the same tone that skank questioned Trump!

My wife and I got a last-minute request for baby sitting from one of our daughters, whose husband had been called away while she was to practice with the local symphony. So we missed the Town Hall (the three children wanted to watch a cartoon show) and the baby was sleeping.
Anyway we are trying to watch the recorded Town Hall and are annoyed by Samantha Guthrie’s voice, and her constant interrupting of Trump and talking over him while he was trying to respond. Her voice? Her vowels (the a, e, i, o, u things) burst out of her voice box and echo throughout the hall. I know I have never been able to stay in the same room watching TV when she is on the NBC morning “news” [cough] show.
I was also very glad to see how Trump kept his temper. He has probably had much more experience than most people in elective office in doing negotiations from his days as a property developer, and in letting snarky remarks roll off his back. MAGA!

NBC Savanna Guthrie reminds me of the Pravda Newspaper.
If the victim did not confess his guilt his family was threatened.
My Russian Grandfather was a railroad engineer. He never said anything political in his life.
In 1926, he was arrested during a Stalin Purge, for being an enemy of the People.
He confessed because he feared for his family.
The CHEKA goons shot his in the back of his head with their big, Red Army NAGANT revolver!!!

TV pundits are not journalists, certainly not investigators. They pretend to be smart and clever, they are neither. They merit disdain and disrespect. I think this is how they ought to be addressed: as fundamentally ignorant, biased, unable to pursue facts to find the truth. They really are just "talking heads." Shallow and stupid.
They do not deserve respect, none at all. They are dishonest political operators for hire, like common streetwalkers, who do what their political pimps demand. Yeah. I'm disgusted by people who are so greedily selfish that they'll sell out their own country for even less than 30 pieces of silver, as they raise their pinkies and toast each other at cocktail parties (until their dear friends like a Weinstein and Epstein are exposed and embarrass them).

At least Biden has been smart enough to hide from every venue in which he might be asked some tough and direct questions. As it is, all we know for sure, from Biden, is that 'orangemanbad', everything is Trump's fault, and that he promises to put ice cream on every table. No actual details on how he might actually do that...and certainly no explanations as to why Biden has only failures in his professional past, no actual accomplishments to brag about. He had eight years under Obama to do something...anything...and yet all he did was to enable China's hedgemony in the the Pacific, and the rise of ISIS in the Near East. Of course, he could point to the wonderful things he accomplished in the Ukraine...but oddly, he never brings that up.

The only political candidate asked questions dumber than George Stephanopoulos could come up with for Joe Biden was when Bill Clinton was asked if he preferred boxers or briefs for underwear..
At least in Clinton's case we could have asked Monica Lewinsky to fact check the response.....
