Whoops: MSNBC Finds Out Having a Show With Jen Psaki Might Not Have Been a Good Idea

MSNBC has revamped its lineup. But as we reported, it hasn't been going well for the network.

In May their prime time line-up was down 24 percent. For total day programming they were down 33 percent. Those are big drops.
 

One aspect of that revamping included former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.. After the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, Rachel Maddow returned to only doing one day a week on Monday at 9 p.m. ET, and Jen Psaki took over the rest of the week from Tuesday to Friday.

Now the numbers are in for her, and the ratings have taken a nose dive.

"The Briefing with Jen Psaki" averaged 971,000 total viewers from its May 6 debut through May 28, shedding a staggering 47% of the audience that Maddow and Alex Wagner pulled in at 9 p.m. ET throughout 2025.

Psaki has also hemorrhaged viewers from the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, averaging 78,000 for a 52% drop compared to the 161,000 demo viewers that Maddow and Wagner averaged on Tuesday through Fridays at 9 p.m. ET before the former Biden spokesperson took over. Wagner hosted Tuesdays through Fridays in Maddow's usual spot before Trump's inauguration.

Yikes. Maddow is insufferable and constantly ranting, but it looks like the audience thinks Psaki is worse.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I hear a certain other ex Biden Press Sec is rested and ready to step in Peppermint Patty's shoes.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
