In a rare moment of honesty from the mainstream media, former Biden press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki pulled back the curtain on just how openly biased her network is—especially when it comes to President Trump and the Republican Party.
In an interview on The Grill Room podcast, Psaki didn’t even try to hide it. “We’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive,” she said with a smirk, as if the admission was some kind of charming inside joke. No, Jen—it’s not a joke to millions of Americans who’ve watched MSNBC spend the better part of a decade behaving more like the DNC’s media arm than an actual news organization.
Psaki, who served as a senior adviser to Barack Obama and then as the mouthpiece for Joe Biden, has made a lucrative career transition into media, landing a primetime hosting slot on MSNBC. She’s set to take over the 9 p.m. hour Tuesdays through Thursdays, a spot once reserved for Rachel Maddow before she scaled back her appearances. And if anyone thought Psaki might bring a more balanced tone to the table—think again.
She admitted there’s no pressure from executives to bring on Republicans or move her commentary toward the center. “I have not experienced this like, ‘You have to move to the center, you have to have Republicans on,’” Psaki said, essentially confirming what conservatives have known all along: MSNBC doesn’t even pretend to represent a diversity of thought.
And it gets better—or worse, depending on your perspective. Psaki described the MSNBC lineup as having no official script but said “every show kind of has a bit of a North Star… the vibe is, kind of, under the same umbrella.” Translation: We all hate Trump, we all spin for Biden, and nobody’s going to stop us.
This kind of open bias might be refreshing if it weren’t so corrosive to the integrity of the media. Imagine a Fox News host admitting, on air, that their coverage of Joe Biden will never be positive. The media would implode with outrage. But when Psaki does it? It’s just another day at MSNBC.
The admission triggered mockery online—and rightly so. This is the same Psaki who parrots DEI talking points and cries foul when her party faces accountability. And now, she’s admitting the game is rigged. The good news? More Americans are tuning out the legacy media circus and getting their news from sources that don’t pretend to be “objective” while carrying water for the Left.
