Psaki prefers MSNBC to the White House. What does that say?

 Psaki's Leaving the White House...For the #3 Cable News Network (townhall.com)


"President Biden's White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will reportedly leave the administration later this spring to join MSNBC, according to an Axios scoop published Friday morning. Sources told Axios Psaki is "in exclusive talks with MSNBC" that are "nearly final" to jump to the network that trails Fox News and CNN in ratings after she leaves the Biden administration ahead of the midterms. ". . .

MSNBC needs Jen's reporting style; a perfect match.

 

. . ."It also seems Psaki will host an MSNBC show on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service.

I wonder who will take over Rachel Maddow’s 9 PM ET spot on MSNBC since Psaki won’t get it. Then again, things could change.

Report: Jen Psaki Leaving White House for Peacock Streaming Show (breitbart.com)

. . . Axios reported the news citing “a source close to the matter.”

"Biden’s press secretary will be the host of a show for MSNBC on NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, Peacock.

"Psaki, who is currently on leave after a second case of coronavirus, will leave the White House “around May” according to the report.

"Psaki worked as a political pundit on CNN before joining the White House, and will also participate in that capacity at NBC and MSNBC.

"Psaki’s choice to jump to MSNBCUniversal takes place just a month after she mocked cable news in an interview with actor Rob Lowe on his podcast,

“ 'Cable news is dying. Right? The ratings for it are dwindling. Right?” she noted, speaking of the challenges of the changing news environment.

"In February, Psaki was asked about reports that she was in talks with both CNN and MSNBC for a job in the cable news business.

“ 'I have more than enough on my plate here,” she replied. “And so you can’t get rid of me quite yet.' ”. . .
