NEW: Greta Van Susteren Blows The Whistle On MSNBC

Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren revealed this week that MSNBC attempted to control her reporting during her short tenure at the left-leaning network, which ultimately led to her firing.

Van Susteren, a seasoned journalist who has also worked at CNN and Fox News, made the comments during a conversation with journalist Tara Palmeri, shedding light on the internal dynamics at MSNBC.

“So, from your experience being inside, do you think that there was a leftist bias inside the newsroom?” Palmeri asked.

“Well, first of all, I only knew the one narrow niche, which was the English. I have no idea what everybody else was saying. Nobody told me what to say or do while I was there. Nobody told me what to say or do at CNN, Fox,” Van Susteren said.

“They wouldn’t dare. Come on, Greta. What? They wouldn’t dare with you,” Palmeri joked.

Van Susteren quickly corrected her, making it clear that MSNBC did try to exert control over her reporting—unlike her previous employers. “Well, no, but that’s why I got fired at MSNBC,” she revealed.

Palmeri, momentarily caught off guard, acknowledged she had overlooked that part of Van Susteren’s career. “I forgot to mention MSNBC,” she admitted.

“No, they told me, after I’d been at CNN and Fox and then MSNBC tried to tell me what to do, I almost thought they were joking because I had like a 15 or 18-year career in the news business and nobody ever told me, so it never occurred to me,” Van Susteren said.

“So that’s why I got fired at MSNBC because they said I needed to play ball, and I thought, you know, that didn’t work,” she added.

Van Susteren first rose to prominence in the 1990s as a legal analyst for CNN, covering high-profile cases such as the O.J. Simpson trial. At CNN, she co-hosted Burden of Proof and The Point before moving to Fox News in 2002. There, she became one of the network’s most recognized faces, hosting On the Record with Greta Van Susteren for 14 years.

In 2017, she made a brief and surprising jump to MSNBC, but her tenure lasted less than six months. She later joined Newsmax, where she currently hosts The Record with Greta Van Susteren, offering independent political analysis.

Meanwhile, Palmeri is known for her investigative reporting and no-nonsense approach. She has covered Washington, D.C., politics for Politico, where she made a name for herself as a White House correspondent.

She later worked for ABC News, CNN, and Vanity Fair, frequently breaking major political stories. Palmeri was recently a journalist for Puck News, a media outlet focused on behind-the-scenes political and business reporting.
