How about firing someone for damaging your brand and your business through their personal actions?

Billy Bush wasn't fired for the things Trump said, he was fired because his association with Trump during that incident caused real damage to his company's brand.




Be honest. Who the fuck knew the name Billy Bush before this "scandal"?


Really? I don't think the mind-numbingly large conglomerate behind NBC could be tarnished by anything a low-level bit reporter like Billy Bush could do.
