And NBC needs to release the Apprentice tapes where he says the N-word

Someone needs to leak that shit. Get it out there, let it go viral

Such a shame. It’s like they’re deliberately trying to hide it from voters. Why? It says here that a possible debate is the reason:
>Two days later, media reporter Oliver Darcy had an answer to the question. He [reported in his Status newsletter](https://www.status.news/p/separated-documentary-airing-date) that the network’s decision to hold off on airing *Separated* until December 7 — more than a month after the presidential election — was made by “NBC News boss Rebecca Blumenstein, who is still hoping to persuade Trump to participate in a debate… It goes without saying that airing a no-holds-barred documentary scrutinizing Trump would likely hinder the network’s chances at luring Trump onto its stage for an October face-off.”
I hope the denial is true because that really makes no sense! But if that’s not the reason, what is? I’m not sure, but it’s not fair to voters to hold back such critical information until after the election.

Maga isn’t concerned with cruelty against immigrants. For maga immigrants are criminals

I see the realization that Trump is going to win is going as well as expected

NBC holding off on airing this documentary till after the election is shady. Voters deserve to see it before they vote hiding it now feels like protecting Trump instead of informing the public.

Guys, if the indictments, conviction, upcoming court cases are not swaying a voter… Do you REALLY think another documentary is going to change anything..?
Media STILL mostly normalizes the antics of this wannabe fascist dictator. MAGA is NOT a party. It’s a cult. There is no changing that. They will take their cognitive dissonance to the graves.

This situation sure does resemble the National Enquirer’s suppression of the Stormy Daniels story. The practice of “catch and kill” was traditionally associated with gossip tabloids like the National Enquirer. It reflects poorly on NBC’s ‘ethical’ standards that they have descended to the level of David Pecker

As a non American, that believes in democracy, if someone is up for election to the most powerful position in the land (maybe the world), folks shouldn’t be holding info of candidates back at all. As long as it’s true that is.

NBC’s delay in airing Errol Morris’s documentary *Separated* until after the election is a shameful disservice to voters, obscuring the harsh realities of Trump’s family separation policy. With over 1,000 children still separated from their families, this crucial narrative must be told now, not buried for political convenience.

The media have shown over and over that at best they wouldn’t mind a trump presidency and at worst they’re actively working towards that goal. The media are complicit.

As if it would even matter. Just vote and get everybody you know to vote whether you’re in a swing state or not and stop whining about the media coverage or “ThE fAcT tHaT iTs tHiS cLoSe iS FuCkInG dEpResSinG”.

Doubt this would even move the needle in the election. Nothing else has.

Are you fucking kidding? Are you *fucking kidding.* Fuck me. Errol Morris is one of the best documentarians alive. And they’re burying his film until after we might elect the same man the film is about? What is their fucking job, exactly, what is their function in society? Do they think the point of a doc like this is for people to see it while society burns down around them and say “hmm, how interesting?”
Never tell me NBC is the liberal Fox News.

NBC always covers for this rapist criminal.
They wouldn’t even let Law & Order SVU do an episode on him.

This is some catch & kill shit. They bought it just so nobody could watch it when it matters.

There’s gotta be a hacker out there that can get a hold of the video and put it on the internet.

Absolutely will not watch it after the fact if NBC pulls that crap.

Sounds like election interference going by Maga standards.

If it were a Hillary doc prior to he 2016 election they would’ve aired it. Playing with kid gloves for Republicans is embarrassing.

Mainstream media SUCKS!

The same NBC that is heavily promoting their own poll this morning as “Breaking News” that shows Harris and a rotting orange tied at 48%!?

I mean, really. The people who are asking why this isn’t being shown before the election are just trying to distract from why Kamala policy proposals have lacked any details at this point, and why she’s avoiding the Mainstream Media.
And here’s a nice big

>The network denies the claims, with NBCUniversal Vice President of Communications Stephen Labaton writing, [in a statement to Vanity Fair](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/errol-morriss-trump-immigration-doc-is-reportedly-being-held-until-after-the-election)*,* that “the debate had nothing to do with the scheduling of this programming.”
