#Snl mocks barron trump how to#

Any apology or action that comes at this point will seem empty. As of now, it’s been more than 24 hours since the crisis broke, and NBC have not yet issued a statement. NBC should be well aware of how these things can spiral after Billy Bush’s involvement with Trump’s “Grab’em by the pussy” moment. They left it too late to respondTime is of the essence in dealing with a social media crisis.Mistakes NBC made in handling this social media crisis Katherin January 22, 2017Ĭonservatives have attacked the hypocrisy of the liberal left, who often use Michelle Obama’s mantra “When they go low, you go high”, while many on the left have also tweeted support for Trump’s young son, saying children should never be the target of such ‘jokes’.Īppalled with and She should be fired!!! Children are always off limits! #firekatierich #boycottsnl Many twitter users are calling for a boycott on SNL unless Rich is fired, but so far there has been silence from the network on the matter.īOYCOTT #SNL FOR ATTACK ON #BARRONTRUMP ! FIRE WRITER for horrible. This has done little to quell public anger at her, at the show and at the network, particularly since as of now, Rich has not issued any kind of apology. Rich is in the eye of a social media storm after a hugely distasteful tweet about Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son.Ĭritics have expressed their disgust that Rich would mock a child, and said that there is nothing funny about cyber bulling and nothing funny about America’s school shootings.Īs the uproar at the writer’s unfunny joke on social media grew, Rich deleted the tweet and switched her account to private, before deleting the account altogether some time later. The 33-year-old is a writer for the network’s long-running comedy sketch show, Saturday Night Live. You would have imagined that a strongly worded email went around to staff in the aftermath of the Billy Bush fiasco, but if it did, Katie Rich wasn’t paying attention.


NBC is not having a good run with their on-air personalities.
