Author Tom Ricks had some choice words for Fox News earlier this week, but the former Pulitzer Prize winner doesn’t much care for the left-leaning cable news alternative either.

Following his much-discussed interview with Fox on Monday — during which he criticized the network’s coverage of the September attack in Benghazi — Ricks was approached by MSNBC for an interview. 

“MSNBC invited me, but I said, ‘You’re just like Fox, but not as good at it,’” Ricks told the Washington Post on Tuesday. “They wrote back and said, ‘Thank you for your candor.’”
