NBC and/or Marc Burnett Productions have been shielding this racist for YEARS by sitting

[LaydeeBug]

on that footage. And if that Angry Yam used those terms...treated women as we've seen, and The Apprentice was not taken off of the air, they are condoning that shit.

If a so called Catholic *allowed* this to happen under his watch, and he did nothing to correct it other than leave it on the editing floor, then he was complicit in what Hairy Orange did.

If NBC does not release these tapes, or Marc Burnett, by not releasing what he is really like, they are as guilty of trying to mess with an election as Julian Assange tried to be.

Through those years, NBC and Marc Burnett, by placating Failing OOopah Loompah's outbursts enabled him. They propped up this stuff.

Billy Bush should be fired. He *already* should have been fired. NBC should demand the release of all footage as to show that they are not trying to sway this election in Don the Con's favor.

Something about this just doesn't sit right with me

[Lint Head]

1. We should he hammering NBC to release this footage.

Contract or not or country is in danger.

[LaydeeBug]

2. They don't seem to think so nt

[LostinRed]

3. It has been covered many times

Burnett owns the tapes not NBC. NBC should apply pressure to him by threatening to cancel shows but they won't

[TexasBushwhacker]

36. Actually, MGM owns the tapes

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/donald-trump-access-hollywood-apprentice-936660

"NBC has aired The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice since 2004, but the shows are owned by Mark Burnett Productions, which is majority owned by MGM. Burnett has declined to comment on Trump and a representative for MGM and its CEO Gary Barber did not respond to a request for comment. MGM attorneys may fear a contract lawsuit from Trump if they agree to release any audio or visual outtakes. The potential complication may be that Trump, as an executive producer on The Apprentice, could have the right to approve any video or audio that is released publicly."

4. it is disturbing how popular Trump's show was

he's a fucking bully

[KeepItReal]

6. I never watched that BS

Who wants to see someone like him "fire" people while we were recovering from an economic disaster?

[Skittles]

7. he makes me sick

I guess others find it ENTERTAINING

[Major Nikon]

13. It's not as if any of the viewership has any idea how business works

I tried to watch one episode and didn't make it to the first commercial break. Anyone who tries to run a business like that show would run it into the ground, and as it turns out that's really pretty indicative of Trump's track record.

[Skittles]

15. I remember being appalled by the popularity of SURVIVOR

people seem to be entertained watching people being kicked off, knocked out, fired, etc - it is very disurbing

[Major Nikon]

16. I don't have any use for reality TV

Most of it is staged and all of it uses rank amateur actors. Not my idea of entertainment. If I want to see reality, I can go to Wal-Mart.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

18. +1 nt

[lillypaddle]

25. Love Survivor nt

[Raine]

27. So do I. nt

[lillypaddle]

28. ...

[Skittles]

39. yes, I am AWARE that shows like Survivor and The Apprentice are POPULAR

bullying has long gone mainstream

5. From what I read

NBC sat on the tape that was released for 4 days "trying" decide what they should do. In my opinion NBC has long been far too cozy with the current GOP Presidential Candidate and has been making decisions solely based upon what would help drive their ratings and increase their cash flow. There has never been anything resembling journalism in this election and certainly not from NBC.

I believe both of these organizations, NBC and Burnett's productions need to be avoided.

[LaydeeBug]

12. with all due respect, one exception: they need ti held ACCOUNTABLE. nt

[Sherman A1]

23. I am holding them accountable as I can do so

by turning off MSNBC & NBC.

[OnDoutside]

8. Anyone familiar with the Jimmy Saville story and the concealment of what he was up to within

the BBC, won't be surprised by this story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile_sexual_abuse_scandal

A culture of protecting "talent".

[dembotoz]

14. The longer the wait the deeper the muck

Would think the hit the BBC took would be an example to NBC. Guess not

[OnDoutside]

22. What isn't public doesn't exist.

[LaydeeBug]

9. I'm serious. They can't claim to be a news source and then sit on the fucking news. nt

[dflprincess]

17. Burnett is claiming he can't legally release him

I haven't read that he has elaborated on that excuse.

I wonder what Roma thinks of this what with being part of such a holier-than-thou couple she can't think that being grabbed by Trump would be like being "Touched By An Angel" .

[Major Nikon]

20. I think he's full of shit

He claims it's because of a contract with MGM, and he's the president of MGM.

[LaydeeBug]

21. I do too, and if MGM wants to be included in the escalation, let them. nt

[malaise]

24. Let's be clear

NBC enabled Groper Don the Con for years - for profit.

[LaydeeBug]

29. exactly...they KNEW of this hostile work environment and instead of addressing it

they fucking covered it up. This is unacceptable.

There is no "memo" telling him to straighten up his act...they didn't *care*, and neither did Marc Burnett Productions either.

They KNEW about this, and did nothing to correct it. They just let it happen...for profit.

I guess money was more important

[malaise]

30. It is as much a scandal as the BBC coverup

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/25/damning-report-on-jimmy-savile-sex-monster-of-the-bbc.html

Notice his red hat

[LaydeeBug]

31. notice how they knew but looked the other way. nt

[malaise]

32. Same as Fox and Ailes

anything for money, promotions and power

[LaydeeBug]

33. same as NBC and Marc Burnett. They need to release this footage. NOW. nt

[malaise]

35. Yep - they are all the same

and they care not which women are destroyed in the process
