In the Viceland show, Arnold protests with a group outside the producer’s offices, chanting “Give up the tapes!” Burnett, who’s now president of MGM Television and Digital, failed to appear. He no longer owns the tapes since MGM bought “The Apprentice” archives from Burnett’s company in 2015, but Burnett didn’t need the footage in hand to speak publicly about Trump’s character before or after the election. Many saw the silence of this devout Christian whose faith has informed the films and TV series he’s made such as “Son of God” and “The Bible,” as the ultimate shirking of civic responsibility and overall accountability.
