‘That’s Fairly The Vibe’: Psaki Just Admitted What Critics Already Knew About MSNBC Coverage
As an adviser to Barack Obama and White House press secretary under Joe Biden, no one would expect Jen Psaki to present a sympathetic view of the GOP from her current role as an MSNBC host.
Nevertheless, it came as a surprise to many when she offered a candid assessment of the cable news network’s obvious left-wing slant and bias against President Donald Trump.
As the New York Post reported:
“And, we’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive. I don’t think anybody watching expects it to be positive, right? There’s not like a North Star thing written on a card, and everybody does it slightly differently but I think that’s fairly the vibe.”
Psaki noted that while she has featured Republicans on her cable news program, she’s never been directed by her bosses to appeal to right-leaning viewership.
“I have not experienced this like, ‘You have to move to the center, you have to have Republicans on, you have to be more moderate, you can’t say that thing’,” she continued.
“What’s unique is that every show kind of has a bit of a North Star, but the vibe is, kind of, under the same umbrella.”
Psaki recently secured a new primetime slot as part of a massive shakeup at the embattled network – taking over 9 p.m. duties Thursday through Fridays from ousted host Alex Wagner in two weeks, the network announced in February.
Of course, her work as a left-wing shill on MSNBC speaks for itself:

Here’s a full transcript of the post above:
NEW: Miguel Cardona – Biden’s failed Secretary of Education who once said he doesn’t “have too much respect” for parents speaking up about radical gender ideology in schools, is now crying on about losing control over the DEI cult in schools.
Jen Psaki, equally deranged, asked: “The need to cut DEI programs and the threat of cutting federal funding, how do you teach history to students if you have to cut out Black history… if you can’t do MLK celebrations… promote STEM for girls?”
Cardona: “I had more control in curriculum when I was a fourth grade teacher than I did when I was Secretary of Education.”
Then why were you pushing radical gender theory, CRT, and anti-American garbage nationwide?
Defund every DEI program. Every single one.
Her admission attracted an array of mockery and criticism on social media:
Just to add a really important point @msnbc – when you customize your content for your viewer, it's not news anymore. It's just propaganda. Are you proud of that? Is the Peacock really proud to follow in the footsteps of Goebbels?? Really?

"Jen Psaki promises her political coverage will be just as objective and unbiased as when she was the Presidential press secretary."
Fox News also covered the story:
MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted on Tuesday that her network’s liberal audience expects coverage of President Donald Trump that is “typically not going to be positive” as her role expands.
Psaki is set to host MSNBC’s 9 p.m. ET program on Tuesdays through Thursdays once “The Rachel Maddow Show” returns to only airing on Mondays following President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Psaki, a former Biden administration press secretary, said MSNBC viewers expect the network’s primetime hosts to “talk about the opposition” without being particularly friendly to Trump.
“We’re going to talk about what the opposing party is up to, in terms of Democrats, and we’re going to talk about future leaders and things. And, we’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive,” Psaki said on “The Grill Room” podcast with Dylan Byers.
