In the most dramatic and contentious election in recent memory, yet another chapter of corrupt pettiness has come to light, this time in the form of grotesque media bias.
Reports have surfaced that NBC executives had a plan to time the release of the Donald Trump audio to have maximum impact on both the 2nd presidential debate and the general election, all in hopes of effectively sabotaging the Republican nominees chances of becoming the next president.
Multiple sources connected with NBC have leaked word that top network execs knew about the video long before they publicly said they did, but wanted to hold it because it was too early in the election to be introduced with enough of a devastating impact, and they wanted to make sure Trump had no time to recover from the fallout of the video.
The sources say many NBC execs have open disdain for Trump and their plan was to roll out the tape 48 hours before the debate so it would dominate the news cycle leading up to the tense presidential face-off.
Reporter Billy Bush was bragging about the tape — in front of NBC executivess at the Rio Olympics back in early August. NBC says it’s only known about the tape for a little more than a week, which is a duplicitous lie.
We’re told the plan was to edit the tape to keep the focus on Trump and not Billy. “Access Hollywood” we’re told was not going to air the portion where Trump and Billy got off the bus and Billy goaded Trump and the soap star to hug. Our sources say the tape was going to be “sanitized” to protect Billy as much as possible.
The Washington Post ran the story, “Access Hollywood” aired their footage and cut out the parts where Billy looked worse — saying things like, “Jeez! Your girl’s hot as s*** in the purple!” all in an effort to scrub Bush’s role in the lewd audio from the public record.
But Hurricane Matthew proved to be a game changer that forced their hand, and there was no time to do deep edits to the audio and footage. Execs decided the wall-to-wall coverage of the storm would mess up the plan to dominate the news with the Trump tape, so they were going to hold it until Monday. It didn’t sit well with some bitter staffers who wanted it out pre-debate, so it was leaked to the Washington Post…
As one source put it, “NBC really screwed Billy. They had no problem with him on the tape ’till it got leaked.” The source goes on to say there was never a peep about disciplining Billy until the full tape got leaked.
