Jen Psaki’s new MSNBC show is crashing faster than the Biden administration’s approval ratings. The former White House flack turned cable news host is getting smashed in the ratings after replacing liberal icon Rachel Maddow. America is tuning out – and the numbers don’t lie.
Psaki’s The Briefing drew a pathetic 79,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age group last Tuesday. That’s fewer people than attend a mediocre high school football game. Even MSNBC’s worst hosts beat her. Nicolle Wallace – who famously fawns over disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti – somehow got more eyeballs.
This disaster comes after MSNBC bosses bet big on Psaki to save their sinking ship. They kicked Alex Wagner out of the time slot when her show became unwatchable. Now Psaki’s numbers are nearly as bad as Wagner’s worst days. The network is trapped in a death spiral of woke hires and boring radicalism.
Psaki’s debut week was a humiliation. She lost 47% of Maddow’s audience in the key demographic. Her total viewers crashed by 36%. These numbers would get any normal host fired – but Psaki gets a participation trophy because she parrots Democratic talking points.
The collapse exposes MSNBC’s toxic formula. They replace seasoned journalists with Biden administration rejects. Psaki spent years lying for the White House – now she’s lying to empty living rooms. Meanwhile, Fox News’ Sean Hannity dominates with triple the viewers.
MSNBC’s panic is obvious. They dragged Maddow back to host Mondays after her replacement failed. But even Maddow’s magic is fading. Her Monday show bled viewers too. The network’s far-left turn has left them stranded without mainstream appeal.
This isn’t just about ratings. It’s about the death of corporate media credibility. Americans see through the Democratic Party PR machine. They’re rejecting smug elites who lecture them about “democracy” while pushing censorship and open borders.
Psaki’s failure is a warning. The liberal media bubble is bursting. Viewers want truth – not condescending propaganda. Until MSNBC respects its audience, it will keep losing to networks that put America first.
