Both MSNBC and CNN had been courting the 43-year-old spin artist, according to a story published last month in <a href=\"https:\/\/puck.news\/is-jen-psaki-the-next-rachel-maddow\/\">Puck.news<\/a>. The article mentioned Psaki may help MSNBC avoid the \u201cnear-existential crisis\u201d created by the departure of its top-rated host, Rachel Maddow, who announced she would be throttling down her involvement with the network and producing occasional documentaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPsaki has ambitions to become a marquee star,\u201d added author Dylan Byers. MSNBC\u2019s significantly higher ratings, both cumulatively and among the coveted demographic of young people aged 18 to 34, would better accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p>Jen Psaki has won a sizable following among MSNBC\u2019s target demographic with the way she forcefully shuts down uncomfortable questions during the daily White House press briefings, a tactic her supporters call a \u201cPsaki bomb.\u201d Members of the White House press corps have said that Psaki has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/not-a-free-press-at-all-6-ways-the-biden-administration-controls-your-news\">screened their questions in advance<\/a>, which would, presumably, allow her to carefully craft her devastating retorts \u2014 a skill that has seen her regularly go viral.<\/p>\n<p>Some speculated Psaki could plug the hole Left in the Left-wing network\u2019s ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki\u2019s \u201ccurrent 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,\u201d wrote Byers at Puck News.<\/p>\n<p>Axios seemed to dispel that notion, reporting Friday that Psaki will not replace Maddow, whose 9 p.m. slot has been filled by a rotation of guest hosts. Instead, Psaki will host her own, as-yet unnamed program on Peacock, the streaming platform of MSNBC\/NBCUniversal.<\/p>\n<p>Further details of her involvement with MSNBC remain unclear, as Psaki has reportedly not signed any contract due to her current status as a government employee. Job negotiations by federal employees fall subject to numerous ethical provisions. Psaki has \u201cbeen treading carefully on the ethics and legal aspects of her plans,\u201d Axios reported.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki\u2019s deal, if it holds up, may be akin to that hammered out by former Kamala Harris spokeswoman Symone Sanders. After joining numerous employees in leaving the vice president\u2019s office, Sanders scored her own weekend show, \u201cSymone,\u201d which will air on MSNBC\u2019s weekend schedule before streaming on Peacock the next week, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/03\/symone-sanders-msnbc-show-1234976407\/\">according<\/a> to Deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Both Sanders and Psaki represent the continual revolving door between politics \u2014 especially Democratic politics \u2014 and the legacy media. MSNBC\u2019s lineup includes former Congressman Joe Scarborough, former Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton, and NeverTrump Republican campaign strategist Nicolle Wallace, among other former political hands.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki\u2019s departure, if it occurs, would show tight discipline by the White House spokesperson, who told former Obama adviser David Axelrod <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/audio\/podcasts\/axe-files\/episodes\/d95482fa-7a05-4ac5-9108-ad200033b46a\">last May 6<\/a> that she planned to leave the Biden administration in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jen-psaki-says-shell-leave-white-house-about-a-year-from-now\">about a year<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
