"I think it stirred the news organizations of this country to realize that this is something that we actually ought to stand together to fight," she adds The post Rachel Maddow Thinks Trump Banning MS NOW, CNN and Politico Together ‘Blunted the Impact’ appeared first on TheWrap .
MS NOW host Rachel Maddow pondered whether President Trump's decision to ban CNN, Politico, and her own outlet, MS NOW, from the White House simultaneously had a lessened effect than if he had targeted just one news organization. During an interview on the "Lovett or Leave It" podcast, Maddow questioned if he would have achieved a "positive impact" on his side by singling out MS NOW.
She suggested that the ban on all three outlets may have actually backfired, as it united the media to stand against Trump's alleged "fake news" reporting. Maddow further hypothesized that Trump's decision may have been influenced by his belief that targeting MS NOW would bolster their support, rather than the opposite. As a result, the trio of news organizations have filed a lawsuit against Trump's administration, claiming their First Amendment rights were violated.
