And then they made Stern a judge on America's Got Talent...a "squeaky clean" family show. He had women ride a sybian on air and then they made him a judge.PJ_Soul said:
Howard Stern is a shock jock who built his entire career on that behaviour. Billy Bush is a morning show host who is expected to be squeaky clean and to appeal to stay at home moms. The two are not comparable in any way.BS44325 said:
But again...NBC had no problem hiring Howard Stern to be a judge on America's Got Talent. I love Stern and so does pretty much everyone and the double standard that is being applied to Billy Bush is ridiculous. NBC had and knew about this tape for years yet had no problem paying Trump. It is faux outrage and Bush just happened to be caught in the crossfire.HughFreakingDillon said:
doesn't matter. public perception is all that matters to the show's producers. they won't want to be associated in any way shape or form with this incident.Jason P said:
All I know is that his female co-hosts are defending him. They have worked with him for years. We are passing judgement on a 5 minute recording.HughFreakingDillon said:
this. after Trumps creepo remarks, he basically forces the unsuspecting woman waiting for them to hug Trump. it was cringe-inducing. then asking who she'd rather date, etc. in full context of both converstations, it took on a whole new meaning. it was like he was trying to be Trump's wingman.PJ_Soul said:
Just being a friend of Trump who is laughing about what he's saying obviously damages his reputation, and especially what he said and did after they got off the bus and said hi to the woman and basically forces hugs out of her. It was really slimy and creepy on his part. I don't blame the Today Show for not wanting him on anymore. Those kinds of shows have a right to expect their hosts to basically be squeaky clean (relatively, anyway... cleaner than being involved in Donald Trump's biggest campaign scandal to date at least, lol).Jason P said:I'm not sure why Billy Bush is getting black listed by Hollywood for being present during the Trump tape. He remarks that a girl is hot, but I don't see where he said anything vulgar. We would all be jobless if remarking that someone is hot is a fire-able offense.
It's not like he had the foresight that Trump would be the Republican nominee someday.0 -

I forgot about that sybian thing.
Imagine if Trump made a woman do that years ago?

What planet are you on where Billy Bush is a "little people"? You guys are ridiculous.BS44325 said:
And both Trump and Stern made NBC boatloads of money. When the money is rolling in the outrage becomes far more selective. Billy Bush was expendable. Rules are for the little people.mrussel1 said:
I think that's exactly what it is. And it's the Today show which is their white suburban homemaker friendly show. He became a liability quickly.HughFreakingDillon said:
the difference is everyone knows who Stern is. his shock value is gone, and has been for a long time. billy bush seemed like the type of guy they wanted to portray as this squeaky clean little brother type. and coverage of the presidential election is exponentially bigger than a talent show.BS44325 said:

I don't really have the answers to that. as yes, it does seem inconsistent. I'm sure there's more to it.
Who really gives a shit about Billy Bush? That little shit will make out just fine. Talk about feigned sympathy.0 -
Anderson Cooper was the one asking Trump about this at the debates and yet he's been on Stern twice in the last couple of years. Pretty good interviews if anyone cares to listen but Cooper has zero issue with Stern's history of crassness...no celebrity or media figure does and for good reason. It's selective outrage.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:^^^

That is why the media is on an all out blitz to burn one to the ground.

I don't think anybody on here gives a shit about Billy Bush. This isn't about sympathy...we're just pointing out the hypocrisy of NBC employing other foul mouthed people as long as those people are bringing in millions. Selective outrage.dignin said:

Donald knew this about NBC and signed the contract for boatloads of money as well.

How do you figure? How is it witch hunting for a TV network to watch an incriminating video and decide that it damages the reputation of the employee in question enough for them to want to fire him? Are you sure you know what witch hunting is?Jason P said:
That is witch hunting logic.PJ_Soul said:
I don't care about the guy at all. I'm just saying that just his connection to Trump in that video, and how he behaved in that video alone, no matter how good his behaviour is otherwise, seems like a valid reason for the Today Show to fire him. People now connect him directly to this scandal, and that's it. Why would the Today Show want that connection? Seriously, that was really icky behaviour on his part in that video. I will never not think about it if I see his face (wouldn't have even recognized it before this).Jason P said:

The people that are fake shocked and fake offended will later tune into the 29th season of Jerry Springer.
there are certain jobs that call for a higher standard of conduct. you dont get much higher than POTUS. and you dont get much lower than trump.
