‘Anti-journalism’: MSNBC ‘censors’ Trump’s Iowa victory speech

The PR Counsel Managing Director Kristy McSweeney has called out MSNBC for not airing Donald Trump’s Iowa victory speech as “anti-journalism” as it “censored” a significantly important political event. Trump won the Iowa Republican caucus this week, beating Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, with many major news networks refusing to air his victory speech. “There’s a lot of people who don’t like Donald Trump,” Ms McSweeney told Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. “He looks to be the Republican nominee, and even if he’s not, he was the victor at this caucus event; therefore, in the interest of reporting what is happening and what’s going on in the election, that speech needed to be broadcast. “You don’t have to like it … but you should not censor a broadcast of the victor who has won a significantly important political event – that is just disgraceful; that is anti-journalism.”
