Online Public Relations Thoughts

 NBC is being filleted by flack from journalists and others for putting President Trump's town hall at the same time as Biden's on ABC.  The network is defending its decision by claiming it wanted to give Trump equal time with Biden.  Critics are saying all NBC has done is ensure that fewer people will watch either candidate and it is diluting the impact of both events.  It is hard not to agree with the offended in this case.  Fairness doesn't dictate that one should upstage another but that both voices be heard.  NBC could well have chosen a different night or another time slot.  It decided not to do so.  The head of NBC's news division has some 'splaining to do.
