The liberal media is falling apart, and now insiders say MSNBC suffering from a serious internal crisis.
In the latest developments, one of their few conservative hosts, Greta Van Susteren, 63, was just fired from the notoriously left-leaning network with no explanation.
As she was preparing for her Thursday evening show, Van Susteren got the news, and tweeted:
I am out at MSNBC –

She has only been at MSNBC for a short six months, barely having the chance to build an audience.
Her husband and manager John Coale told CNNMoney, “They let her go, we’re working out contract issues now.”
Chief Legal Analyst Ari Melber will be taking over her 6pm time slot, in his first appearance as a show host on MSNBC.
Network head Phil Griffin released an internal memo Thursday, saying, “MSNBC and Greta Van Susteren have decided to part ways. Greta is a well-regarded television veteran and one of only a few broadcasters who can say they’ve hosted shows at all three major news networks. We are grateful to her and wish her the best.” The Daily Mail reported.
A statement that makes it appear her departure was mutual, but Van Susteren took to Twitter to answer fans questions, making it clear that was not the case.
She responded to one surprised fan saying:
Surprise to me, too. 🙂 https://t.co/QBvspSSBdh

And her Twitter feed makes it clear that she had a wide fan base that appreciated her non-partisan straight-talk when it came to the news.
President Donald Trump’s son Eric tweeted to her:
.@Greta is truly a quality person who will find something great. Greta we wish you the best! https://t.co/Y0U11X96Qa

MSNBC has been in a continued spat with President Donald Trump, specifically host Mika Brzezinski who started a feud with the president when she revisited the juvenile tiny hands insults that erupted during the election.
It seems if you want to keep an anchor job at MSNBC, responsible reporting has been replaced by childish insults as a requirement.
In the end, Greta may be better off.
