There appears to be no love lost between Glenn Greenwald and MSNBC.

The investigative reporter has been racking up quite a few appearances on Fox News lately and is claiming he’s been banned from Rachel Maddow‘s show.

He’s also refusing to sit on the sidelines in the meantime.

Tensions reached a breaking point last year, Greenwald told Observer, suggesting he was blacklisted from the network as a consequence of his “harsh criticism of the obsession of MSNBC generally, and Maddow specifically, with the Russia story, as well as their numerous errors and reckless speculation.”

He echoed that same message in a lengthy HuffPost interview published Thursday, saying he’s never been invited by Maddow to discuss the controversy over U.S.-Russia relations, a matter on which he’s a known skeptic, straying from traditional leftist views on the situation.

“I’m pretty sure I am banned by MSNBC,” he said. “I used to be invited on constantly during the Bush years, and even into the Obama years. Then it kind of tapered off toward the end of the Obama years, when I was criticizing Obama.”

Regarding his decision to appear on Fox, Greenwald said he had no regrets, noting CNN’s Wolf Blitzer wasn’t rolling out the welcome mat for him either.

“I don’t have a moral obligation to stay off TV if Wolf Blitzer and Rachel Maddow aren’t inviting me on their shows,” he said.

But for Greenwald, there is a line.

“I probably wouldn’t go on Stormfront radio, like actual Nazi party channels—and no, I don’t think Fox is the equivalent of the Nazi party,” he remarked.
