Psaki joining MSNBC as an analyst, with plans to get her own streaming show
CBSJUL 2022
It's common for news networks that lean toward both ends of the political spectrum to hire Washington insiders after their official tenures are over. As WH spokesperson, Psaki became a familiar face that the public can trust. She'll be an important voice on the air this election season.
Psaki spent her time at the WH playing loose with the truth to distract attention from the scandal-plagued Biden administration. So it's no surprise she'd be hired by MSNBC, a network known for doing the administration's bidding. The question remains: will she be more truthful in her new role?
If cable news networks ever want to be taken seriously again, they need to stop hiring famous partisan hacks in pursuit of huge ratings and instead hire credible journalists. Psaki will be next in a long line of people on both sides who've made their career spinning the facts while in government, then doing the same on the air.
