Similar to how they covered his triumph in Iowa, liberal media outlets MSNBC and CNN interrupted the former president Trump’s victory address in New Hampshire with fact-checkers and analysis. Tudor Dixon, a previous candidate for governor of Michigan, stated on “Outnumbered” on Wednesday that the approach is “feeding” straight into Trump’s influence.
Attending the new Hampshire Trump rally, Biden challenger Dean Phillips is described as “hospitable and kind.” Greetings
TUDOR DIXON: I kind of like this strategy because I see them doing it, and I believe that when you prevent someone from seeing something, they get more interested in it. They become more ecstatic. Additionally, Trump has a distinct, more traditional political movement where supporters pass out pamphlets and engage in conversation. This increases the likelihood that supporters will tell their neighbor, “Hey, have you seen what they’re doing to him?” Something is wrong with this. How come they wish to keep him hidden from us? I believe this gives him strength. They’re probably feeding him more than they even realize. I kind of just sit back and laugh at how ridiculous they are.
MSNBC declined to play former President Trump’s victory address following his historic and resounding win in Iowa.
When defending the choice to forego Trump’s speech, Rachel Maddow informed MSNBC viewers that the network was unable to broadcast “lies”. Although the liberal anchor maintained that the choice was “not made out of spite,” she said that MSNBC’s reputation is harmed by live broadcasting of Trump’s “untrue” remarks.
Trump’s address drew criticism from more than just MSNBC; CNN host Jake Tapper stopped the former president to charge him with using “anti-immigrant rhetoric.”
Similarly, following Trump’s victory in the New Hampshire primary, MSNBC refrained from airing his entire speech. Maddow provided real-time fact checks on the outlet as well. Along with interrupting the GOP front-runner, CNN’s Jake Tapper added his own fact-checker.
