  1. So? It isn’t like they don’t air stuff. Oh the faux outrage.

  2. The 90+ counts-indicted ex-president has much more airtime than any candidate could ever imagine. Luckily, the US media is free to choose what to air since it is not controlled by the government, as is done in China, Russia, Hungary, North Korea, and other authoritarian states. Of course, that could change should Trump get elected

  3. Rightwing nut jobs are ready to launch a firestorm over *anything* at all. The perpetual victims just whine and whine and whine about the stupidest shit. No candidate should expect their victory lap speech be covered live. It’s simply not that important.

  4. The list of things that anger the wittle snowflakes is so long your better off just listing the things they are ok with. And that list is fucking gross

  5. Do we need to see a victory speech for every single primary? They’re far from the only ones anyway.

    Also how much shit does right wing media choose not to air?

  6. >“We will let you know if there’s any news made in that speech if there’s anything noteworthy, something substantive and important,” Maddow said. “There is a reason that we and other news organizations have generally stopped giving an unfiltered live platform to remarks by former President Trump. It is not out of spite. It is not a decision that we relish. It is a decision that we regularly revisit, and honestly, earnestly, it is not an easy decision. But there is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things that is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are.”

    What’s in a victory speech anyway? Typical ones thank the supporters and volunteers. They thank their rivals for a spirited competition. Then the reiterate their platform and campaign pledges. There’s not usually any new information that’s conveyed. And that’s for a ‘regular’ candidate.

  7. With how few people voted in the caucus, I don’t think the victory is anything to crow about. Pundits are lining up to just declare the Haley and Desantis campaigns dead because he got over 50%, but Iowa rarely gets it right. A fact which they also acknowledge.

  8. Trump says they should have their broadcast licenses taken away. In a 2nd Trump term he’ll appoint someone to head the FCC who would do just that.

  9. Lol the maga crowd would not be watching MSNBC anyway so why do they care

  10. Trump 51%

    Not-Trump 49%

    Not much of a victory in the rabid-base evangelical heartland

  11. This is the right call. More networks should follow suit.

  12. If I have learned one thing about republicans since Trump, they are weak, pathetic, cry babies.

  13. Trump’s words lead to violence and terrorism.

    This was the right call.

  14. I listened to her words. She made it very clear that the reason that she is not airing his comments live is because they cannot air live comments that they know to be false.

    They said they will monitor his speech and report on things that they thought were important.

    But they’re not giving the guy a microphone to defame others.

  15. Sorry Capt Stinky only your MAGA mob want to here you talk, The rest of us don’t like child rapists

  16. Good for them. The media enabling Trump to begin with and giving him a gross amount of coverage was never ok.

  17. Fox News and Right Wing Media lies about the election is going to lead to Americans attacking each other. Isis and Al qeada can’t spread terrorism so why is Fox News allowed to?

    The moment their election lies create domestic Terrorism their ceos and Hosts should face charges. Or involuntary manslaughter. In fact they killed Ashli Babbitt.

  18. This piece of crap made his political bones spreading racist rumors about the birthplace of Barack Obama, because Trump had no achievements of his own to talk about. Being born with a fat wallet and stealing with both hands isn’t much to brag about.
    His announcement in 2015, in which he slandered our friends and neighbors to the south, made everything else he’s said a moot point. We elected this piece of shit, Russia knew that we have about 50 million or more consumo-bots here that will believe anything that is told them by somebody who will say the ugly shit they would say, if they had armed security.
    MSNBC is an entertainment business, and they are not obligated to help this dipshit spread fantasies.
    I have worked with and known dozens of immigrants who crossed our southern border both legally and illegally, and they were all contributing more than this orange POS.

  19. Such victims. Who needs to see a victory speech for the Iowa caucus? If Haley upsets him in New Hampshire do we need to air his grievances that she stole it too?

  20. This is so dumb. If I email Fox News asking to be on the air to talk about my political beliefs, am I being “censored” if they decline? No. Bunch of snowflakes.

  21. It’s a primary victory in one state. Big deal. They reported it and gave him a few minutes. I’m sure anyone who wanted to see the whole whiny diatribe could watch fox or oann or Lindell tv.

  22. Funny I flip Fox on from time to time when Biden is speaking and it’s almost never covered. Feigned outrage is the GOPs go to.

  23. It’s just a caucus. It’s not that exciting.

    Besides, how many people actually participated? Last I heard it was 14% of the republican electorate for the state.

    That’s not really much to celebrate imo.

  24. This mother fucker doesn’t want to show up to debate but wants the news to fawn over him with he “wins” a victory with people we knew he was going to win with? He has zero accountability to the media and the public. We should ignore him and let him live out his days in prison.

  25. At this point how COULD they air his shit live? He lost that right when he decided to keep claiming the election was stolen and yet this was proven false in all courts. It’s also just basic logic. Of course his accusation was projection, and he was the one who tried to steal the election by force on Jan 6th.

    Let him speak his verbal nonsense, then broadcast after fact checking it. Run a banner below or cut in when he lies. It’ll take 4x longer but it’s the only way to treat this guy

  26. Who gives one shit what conservatives think?

    Fuck their feelings.

  27. Why? They don’t even watch MSNBC. Same reason I couldn’t care less of Fox News or News Max doesn’t air a Biden speech. They just love to be outraged and angry at everything.

  28. they don’t even believe Biden is president

    Who gives a damn what they think

  29. Pretty sure Fox didn’t show the last two state of the union addresses. Fuck em.
