Former MSNBC star Greta Van Susteren said the left Comcast network was the only employer ever “tried to tell me what to do”.
Van Susteren, a former career lawyer who began broadcasting on television as a legal analyst for CNN during the Oj Simpson murder trial, recalled her experiences working for MSNBC after leaving Fox News in 2016.
“No one told me what to say or do in CNN [or] Fox, “Van Susteren told former Politico and Puck Tara Palmeri in the newcomers of Palmeri.
Palmer, who like Van Susteren is an alum of Voice of America, replied, “They wouldn’t dare. Come, Greta. What? They wouldn’t dare with you.”
“Well, no, but that’s why I was fired at MSNBC,” Van Susteren said.
“After I was in CNN and Fox and then Msnbc tried to tell me what to do, I almost thought they were joking because … I had as a 15 or 18-year-old career in the news business and no one ever told [what to do]”Said Van Susteren.
“That’s why I was fired at MSNBC because they said I had to play ball and thought, you know, that didn’t work.”
The post has requested comment from MSNBC.
Van Susteren, who waited for the time at 6 pm “For Greta” record, was suddenly released by MSNBC just five and a half months after joining the network at the end of 2016 – its second sudden exit from a cable news in less than a year.
The husband and her agent, John Coale, said they were shocked by the decision, which came without warning.
Van Susteren’s show fought with low estimates, on average 1 million viewers in June – an 18% drop from the past hour – making it a poor connection to the MSNBC evening lineup.
Msnbc moved the actual Ari Melber host to the old Sloit of Van Susteren. Melber’s show, “Beat with Ari Melber”, has continued to be broadcast to this day.
Van Susteren first gained national recognition during the Simpson trial in the 1990s, offering legal analysis to CNN.
She then co-organized the “burden of proof”, a legal display on the network.
In 2002, she joined Fox News, where she waited “in a record with Greta Van Susteren” for about 14 years.
The show was known for its deep interviews and covering political and legal issues.
She later joined Voice of America and then Newsmax, where she currently expects a news program.
Fox News is owned by FOX Corp., sister company of the post corporate parent, News Corp.
