Maddow says MSNBC ‘irresponsible’ to broadcast Trump victory speech
The Hill ^ | 03/06/2024 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow said it is “irresponsible” of news organizations to carry former President Trump’s remarks when they know he is going to make false statements.

As the network cut away from Trump’s Super Tuesday victory speech, Maddow said whether or not to provide live continuous coverage of the former president’s public remarks “is a decision that we revisit constantly.”

The balance, she said, is “between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things they’ve lied about before — and you can predict they are going to lie about.”

“And so, therefore, it is just irresponsible to allow them to do that,” she continued in comments first highlighted by Mediaite.

The irony is that almost everything Trump says is TRUE.

Maddow is a pundit? I thought she was just another dickless dyke.

Even the far-left NYT claims to understand the role of a news agency:

‘On Monday, Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger delivered the Reuters Memorial Lecture at Oxford University, with a focus on the importance of independent journalism in a divisive age. He pointed to coverage of the Middle East as a particular flashpoint.

‘”Journalists don’t serve the public by trying to predict history’s judgments, or to steer society to them,” Sulzberger said. “Our job as journalists is firmly rooted in the present: to arm society with the information and context it needs to thoughtfully grapple with issues of the day. The belief that an informed public makes better decisions is perhaps the most hopeful conceit of an independent press.”’

Their goal is to narrow the range of thought, not expand it.

"MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow said it is “irresponsible” of news organizations to carry former President Trump’s remarks when they know he is going to make false statements."

That's called censorship, Rachel. MSDNC has the right not to broadcast Trump's remarks of course, but treating your viewers like they can't be discerning *should* be taken as an insult by them.

Censorship, one of the ways they must use to save “Their Democracy”, since they couldn’t keep Trump off the ballot, and haven’t yet managed to put him in jail. The MSM are Baghdad Bobs one and all: our economy is booming, Trump is Hitler, Joe Biden is sharper than he has ever been, there are five lights....2020 was the most secure election ever, Biden got 81 millions votes! My Ass!

[One of the greatest mysteries is why lesbians always want to look like men??]

Because most of them know, subconsciously, that it is supposed to be a MALE-FEMALE relationship.

Therefore, many of them gravitate towards that - they cannot help themselves

There’s often a “male” role-player

Very pretty girl in my town - she’s bought into the lie

I met her “partner” - a woman playing “a dude” - I wasn’t surprised at all

The fact is the ‘Progressives” consider the truth that is contrary to their ideology a ‘Lie’.

If the only criteria for not showing something on TV is because there may be false statements made, Madcow’s show should have been cancelled a long time ago.

I watched MSNBC last night for comic relief. The heads were exploding all night.

Back when I was a vice cop, I had to deal with both kinds of lesbians: dykes and fems. They were completely different personalities. The dykes were real touchy and easy to anger.
