Is Glenn Kirschner left or right?
Kirschner is a former federal prosecutor whose daily 'Justice Matters' show delivers legal analysis from a strongly anti-Trump, pro-accountability perspective aligned with the Democratic-leaning 'resistance' media ecosystem. He spent 30 years as a prosecutor — as an Army JAG and then an assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. — before becoming an NBC News/MSNBC legal analyst. In February 2025 he asked to be released from his MSNBC contract to go fully independent, saying he wanted to reach beyond MSNBC's audience, including offering to appear on conservative outlets. His 2025-26 content focuses on what he characterizes as corruption and criminality in the second Trump administration, including the Epstein files litigation and Trump's use of the pardon power, consistently arguing for criminal accountability.
