Liberal media outlets such as MSNBC and CNN cut off former President Trump's victory speech in New Hampshire with fact checkers and commentators, just as they reported on his victory in Iowa. On Wednesday's “Outnumbered,” former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon claimed the strategy was “baiting” directly to President Trump's power.

Tudor Dixon: I pI personally love this approach. Because I see them doing this. Because if you forbid someone from seeing something, you think they'll want to see it more. They get even more excited.and Mr. Trump has a unique political movement. It's more old-fashioned and people are passing pamphlets and talking, so you're even more likely to say to your neighbor, “Hey, did you see what they were doing to him?” There's something wrong with this. Why do they want to hide him from us? And I think that gives him strength. I think they are directly influencing him, but they don't realize it. When I hear that, I just sit back and laugh at how stupid they are.

After former President Trump won a decisive and historic victory in Iowa, MSNBC refused to broadcast former President Trump's victory speech.
Rachel Maddow told MSNBC viewers that the network cannot air “lies” when explaining the decision to omit Trump's speech. The liberal anchor insisted the decision was “not made out of malice,” but argued that broadcasting President Trump's “untrue” statements live on TV would hurt MSNBC's brand.
MSNBC wasn't the only network to object to Trump's speech, accusing CNN host Jake Tapper of interrupting the former president and spewing “anti-immigrant rhetoric.”
Similarly, MSNBC did not air President Trump's full remarks after his victory in the New Hampshire primary. The outlet also included a live fact check from Maddow. CNN's Jake Tapper also cut short the Republican front-runner's speech and included his own fact-checker.
