Following Donald Trump's victory speech in Iowa, major news networks including CNN and MSNBC faced criticism for their decisions to not broadcast the speech in its entirety. CNN's Jake Tapper cut away from the live coverage as Trump began to discuss what Tapper described as 'anti-immigrant rhetoric.' MSNBC, with Rachel Maddow at the helm, also refused to air the speech, citing a policy against broadcasting statements they deem untrue. In response, Trump called for NBC and CNN to have their licenses taken away. The incident has sparked a wider debate about media responsibility and editorial choices in political coverage. Additionally, MSNBC's Joy Reid faced backlash for her comments suggesting that white Christians in Iowa supported Trump because they want minorities to 'bow down' to them.
