Her lunch meetings with the CNN and MSNBC executives, which also included her agent\u00a0Jay Sures, were the opening salvo in what is likely to be a long effort by several networks to court the woman who could potentially become the next big star in television news. ABC News and CBS News have also expressed interest in Psaki, sources familiar with the matter told me. (Representatives for CNN and MSNBC declined comment; representatives for ABC News and CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The discussions with CNN and MSNBC are in early stages, which means that the contours of Psaki\u2019s television career are still taking shape. But sources familiar with these early conversations say there could be a natural progression from Psaki\u2019s role in the briefing room to her job as cable news host. (Too-obvious ideas for show titles include\u00a0<em>The Brief with Jen Psaki<\/em>.) After all, her current role requires her to explain complicated matters of politics and policy and debunk falsehoods\u2014which is not dissimilar from the job Maddow has created for herself at 9 p.m., where she typically punctures G.O.P. talking points and spends entire segments circuitously arriving at a point.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the report, rumors are swirling that Psaki could take over Rachel Maddow\u2019s show on MSNBC due to the lack of talent at the network. Maddow intends to depart the MSNBC lineup in the near future, which Puck described as a \u201cnear-existential crisis\u201d for MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaddow\u2019s current month-long hiatus has resulted in a 25-percent ratings drop in total viewers (and the coveted 25-to-54 year-old demo), and dragged down the rest of primetime,\u201d the report read.<\/p>\n<p>Maddow\u2019s show is not the only one suffering from viewership decline.
