Jen Psaki’s MSNBC takeover has turned into a total disaster. The former Biden spin doctor crashed in the ratings during her first week replacing Rachel Maddow, proving once again that Americans reject left-wing propaganda masquerading as news.
Psaki’s show bled nearly half of Maddow’s audience, with a pathetic 92,000 viewers in the key age group. MSNBC bosses thought swapping a radical journalist for a Biden loyalist would work – but hardworking Americans saw through the scam. The network’s desperate bid to push Psaki as Maddow 2.0 collapsed faster than Biden’s polling numbers.
By Tuesday of her second week, Psaki’s ratings dipped to 79,000 – dead last among MSNBC’s prime-time lineup. Even Nicolle Wallace, who famously fawns over disgraced liberals like Michael Avenatti, outdrew Psaki. The only people still watching are die-hard Biden staffers and MSNBC’s nursing home fan base.
This isn’t MSNBC’s first woke casting failure. The network previously tried installing Alex Wagner in Maddow’s slot, but her 66,000 demo viewers made Psaki look successful by comparison. Executives had to beg Maddow to return last year after their diversity hires flopped. Now they’re repeating the same mistakes – putting loyalty to the White House above journalistic integrity.
The channel’s radical left turn keeps backfiring. MSNBC recently fired Joy Reid, another Biden cheerleader whose ratings were even worse than Psaki’s. When Maddow complained about “indefensible” treatment of non-white hosts, she accidentally admitted the network cares more about race boxes than quality programming.
Psaki’s collapse reflects a broader truth: Americans are sick of corporate media shills. While Fox News dominates with real news, MSNBC peddles Biden admin talking points to an ever-shrinking audience. Psaki’s “Briefing” isn’t journalism – it’s taxpayer-funded Biden propaganda repackaged for cable.
This ratings nightmare proves no one wants to watch Biden’s former mouthpiece lie for an hour every night. The White House can’t hide its failures forever, and neither can their media lapdogs. As long as MSNBC keeps pushing Psaki’s partisan garbage, their relevance will keep fading.
The message from viewers is clear: Take your woke lectures and fake news elsewhere. Real Americans want truth – not another Biden flunky reading White House press releases on live TV. Until MSNBC learns that lesson, its death spiral will continue.
