Shouldn't NBC be canceling the Apprentice now that Trump has an exploratory committee?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

As FOX did to Huckabee, Newt and Santorum when they threw their hats in?

Instead, they've signed on for another season and are proceeding as planned.

I realize the execs know his bid is a joke, but if he's formed the committee, they should sever his ties with NBC's entertainment wing.

1. They're waiting until everyone in the exploratory committee stops laughing their ass off.

Not anytime soon!

2. I don't think they need to unless he makes it official.

3. I don't think he signed another season.

4. Should have Ben cancelled long ago. Trump is a racist pig and his show

sucks.

[Major Hogwash]

5. No, they should give him a generous 4-year's supply of Preparation H, however.

Because all he ever does is sit around on his ass and spew bullshit.

6. I have never watched the show,

however there is a big difference between the entertainment and news divisions. There is no election law that says Trump needs to be dropped from the NBC show.

7. "However ...

... there is a big difference between the entertainment and news divisions."

That "big difference" has become a very small difference over the years - and is shrinking by the day.

8. If you are referring to the primetime news 'magazines'

I agree with you. However the actual news divisions are independent from entertainment divisions.

[NanceGreggs]

9. Yeah, I know about that "independence".

Doesn't change the fact that the "news" these days looks more and more like entertainment for the masses.

10. Don't think it stopped him the last three times he ran.
