Greta Van Susteren has claimed that after more than three decades in the media business, only one network has tried influencing her.
The veteran journalist joined Tara Palmeri for The Red Letter, where the two got deep on their work with Voice of America, an outlet put on the chopping block by President Donald Trump as part of his sweeping cuts to federal government.
When asked by Palmeri whether she felt there was “leftist bias” in the Voice of America newsroom, Susteren claimed there wasn’t, and singled out MSNBC as the one network that tried controlling her.
Susteren worked MSNBC for less than a year in 2017 after more than a decade with Fox News.
“After I had 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 and so it never occurred to me,” Susteren said.
Check out the entire exchange below:
TARA PALMERI: From your experience being inside, do you feel there was a leftist bias inside the newsroom?
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: Well, first of all, I only knew the one narrow niche which was English. I have no idea what anyone else was saying. Nobody told me what to say or do while I was there. Nobody told me what to do or say at CNN, Fox —
PALMERI: They wouldn’t dare! Come on, Greta [laughs] They wouldn’t dare with you.
SUSTEREN: Well, no, that’s why I got fired at MSNBC.
PALMERI: I forgot to mention MSNBC [laughs].
SUSTEREN: After I had 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 and so it never occurred to me. So that’s why I got fired at MSNBC because they said I needed to play ball, and I thought that didn’t work.
