“I did a monologue when Hillary Clinton was building up to run for president… I did this whole thing that was like, ‘She sold out to Wall Street. People are gonna hate this lady. She’s like the terrible candidate for the moment. Please don’t run.’ … Afterwards, I get pulled into an office and you know, ‘Great monologue, everything’s fine. But next time you do any commentary on Hillary Clinton, it has to get approved by the President of the network.'”

[Watch the whole thing. Ball’s absolutely right about networks selecting “purveyors” rather than journalists as hosts these days. And she’s also right that people in her position in any of the networks likely don’t need to get rebuked or instructed on the limits of their commentary because they know full well what their management will tolerate, and choose not to test the limits. However, I’d also add that most of them probably with full sincerity exist within those boundaries anyway because they match up with their own beliefs. — Ed]
