This Guy is Banned on Fox, CNN AND MSNBC 😳
A media personality, likely from The Young Turks, claims to be banned from Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN. He shares a specific anecdote about being booked on Joe Scarborough's show, flying from LA to New York, and getting canceled mid-flight. His team at Young Turks has turned these cancellations into an internal game.
Summary
In this brief clip, a media personality — who appears to be associated with The Young Turks — boasts the unusual distinction of being banned from all three major cable news networks: Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN. He describes this as a point of dark humor rather than grievance.
He explains that occasionally a producer who doesn't know about his banned status will book him on a show. This has happened enough times that his colleagues at Young Turks have turned it into a running game, placing over/under bets on when the cancellation will come.
He shares a particularly striking example involving Joe Scarborough's MSNBC show. Despite triple-confirming the booking — presumably because of his history of cancellations and the fact that it required a cross-country flight from Los Angeles to New York — he was canceled mid-flight, never making it to the appearance.
