Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says that MS Now, formerly MSNBC, won’t invite him on its programs, though he enjoys going on stations such as Fox News and CNN that “play things straight.”
“I’m on Fox. I’m also very often in CNN, and I’ll be CBS and ABC occasionally too,” Fetterman exclusively told the Washington Examiner in a Wednesday interview. “But I hope you can print: ‘MSNBC won’t invite me on.’”
A recent Washington Examiner analysis found that Fetterman has appeared on Fox News at least 56 times since the start of the year. CNN, meanwhile, has had the Pennsylvania senator on 13 times in the same period. Fetterman has not appeared on MS Now with the same recent frequency.

Fetterman said “it’s really strange” that MS Now does not invite a Senate Democrat who “votes a 90-something percent line here” on the network’s programs.
The Washington Examiner reached out to MS Now for comment.

“That’s the thing that really keeps the glue,” Fetterman said. “I never discuss about private or any kinds of things. So I’m not going to comment on it or anything.”
FETTERMAN SAYS ‘DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS EXPECTING FOR ISRAEL TO GROVEL’

“I mean, endorsements are really overstated,” Fetterman said. “I think people in their respective states have a better idea of what they want. So, like ask Sanders. You know, he got involved, and how did that work out in Maine?”
