The cowards of the compliant press
Trump won Iowa .Everyone knew he would . He took all but one county in the state and breached 50% which is unheard of in early primary and caucus states .
The press made the decision to air the results because the caucus concluded ; a shameful act on it's own.
But they took the prize in cowardice ;avarice and frankly stupidity in their decision to not air Trump's address afterward .
Here is Rachel Madcow.

I just have to get to business just for a second. At this point in the evening the projected winner of the Iowa caucuses has just started giving his victory speech. We will keep an eye on that as it happens, we will let you know if there is any news made in that speech, anything noteworthy, something substantive and important.
The reason why I am saying this is, of course, 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’s 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. And that is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are. So his remarks, tonight, will not air here live. We will monitor them and let you know about any news that he makes.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Censors Trump's Iowa Victory Speech: "It's Not Out Of Spite" | Video | RealClearPolitics
She lies .It is out of spite .It is a decision they relish .For them it was an easy decision despite it being an irresponsible and stupid one.
Jake Tapper after CNN very briefly aired some of it said “caucus goers believe the lie.”
What were they afraid of .......Trump inviting up to the podium someone dressed like a wall ? Trump invites man dressed like wall to stage at Iowa caucuses victory speech - YouTube
If all he says is lies than why not air it . Do they think their viewership would be fooled by lies ? Of course they are . Their viewership ingests the lies of these talking heads for the state compliant press daily .
And of course Tapper's remarks are proof positive of what they think of the unwashed rubes in flyover America. Add that to Evita's bucket of deplorables and the emperor's cling to guns and religion snipes.
2020 the deep state colluded with social media to censor . 2024 all the last vestiges of restraint is gone. The main stream media has been employed by the state .
