Schultz: MSNBC Fired Me Because They Were 'In the Tank for Hillary' and I Supported Bernie [View all]

Former MSNBC host Ed Schultz opened up in a recent interview about why he believes he was fired in 2015.

Schultz, who’s now anchor of a show on RT, told National Review‘s Jamie Weinstein that he believes it was because he supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), which was problematic, he charged, because the network was “in the tank for Hillary Clinton.”

He described how MSNBC chief Phil Griffin was a "watchdog" who closely managed which stories were covered, and relayed one incident where his story about Sanders’s launch of his campaign was bumped in favor of other news.
