An NBC executive reportedly tried to get ABC to move its Joe Biden town hall following criticism over NBC News' Trump town hall

Twitter

CNN's Brian Stelter reports that on Wednesday evening, "an exec from NBC reached out to their counterpart at ABC to see if ABC would be willing to shift the Biden event to 9pm. Perhaps it would have been a PR coup for ABC – taking the higher ground – but the network declined. ABC was first, after all, and it made a commitment to the Biden campaign. Why change now to help bail out NBC?"
