Former President Donald Trump insisted that NBC and CNN grievously erred by not airing his Iowa Caucus victory speech — even though they did, just not in total — and should suffer a heavy penalty as a result.

Trump won the first GOP primary Monday night, and his victory speech included many of the baseless claims that he is a victim of some sort of “deep state” conspiracy that rigged the 2020 election and has kept him in court despite scads of evidence in support of criminal indictments he’s facing.
As a result, both CNN and MSNBC eventually opted out of the live speech after airing it to start. CNN took the Trump speech live for over 10 minutes. Even Fox News dumped the live speech after airing it for a few minutes longer.
It’s not just a reasonable decision but a responsible one for a journalistic outfit. But if Trump gets elected president in 2024, it could be costly, as he flatly said that CNN and MSNBC’s “licenses” to ostensibly air coverage should be pulled.
