A popular figure on MSNBC is departing from the network, and explaining his various reasons. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, who recently posted a video focusing on "points of light," as he sees them, in the legal world, has chimed in on legal matters on MSNBC for years.
Now, however, the analyst says he's going 100% independent. "Some of the reasons may surprise you," he said Saturday. In a post on the Substack blogging platform, Kirschner walked through his history at MSNBC.
"For the past six-and-a-half years, Ive had the pleasure and privilege of appearing on TV to discuss and analyze the legal issues of the day. Ill be honest, growing up as a rough-and-tumble kid in Jersey, someone who was far more interested in playing football, wrestling, drinking beer with my buddies, and getting in minor scrapes with the law, I never thought anyone would give me the opportunity," the expert wrote. "And yet, I became an on-air legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, discussing legal developments involving, among other things, criminal investigations and prosecutions of a president of the United States."
Kirschner said MSNBC offered him a contract as a legal analyst, and that he has been with them ever since. "Until just a few weeks ago," he teased. Kirschner went on to say his departure stems in part from a "growing concern" about his work.
