Piers Morgan criticized CNN, MSNBC, and Rachel Maddow for not airing former President Trump’s victory speech after his Iowa caucuses win.
He accused them of hypocrisy, citing their coverage of the Russian collusion issue and their claims of not wanting to broadcast “untrue” information.
Morgan also highlighted criticism of Trump by foreign leaders, pointing out contradictions in their statements, and noted a poll suggesting more young Canadians would vote for Trump over Trudeau.
“There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things. That is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are. And so his remarks tonight will not air here live,” Maddow had said.
“I’m sorry, Rachel Maddow banging on about disinformation and how damaging it would be to MSNBC, didn’t she lead the charge on Russian collusion for two years? Right?” Morgan said.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said the network was forced to censor former President Trump's victory speech in Iowa because it couldn't air lies.

“I watched that night after night,” he said. “I would tune in, not for very long, and hear, ‘Russia collusion, Russia collusion’ on MSNBC, my former bosses at CNN. And It turned out to be complete nonsense, a massive nothing burger.”
“No apology, no acknowledgment,” Brian Kilmeade cut in.
“Nothing,” Morgan said. “But now they have the brass neck to say, ‘We can’t possibly show Trump’s victory speech because he might spew disinformation.’ Well, what about your own backyard?”
“If you take Trudeau, for example, he banged on about Trump being a fascist, when he is the number one woke fascist in the world. The most woke human being alive,” Morgan later said.
“He destroyed that country,” Kilmeade added.
“I saw a poll last week that said more young Canadians would vote Trump than vote Trudeau,” Morgan quipped. “They would if they could.”
