Jen Psaki’s MSNBC propaganda hour

If you’re looking for accurate, hard-hitting, unbiased journalism, look no further than former Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki interviewing the former chief of staff who hired her, Ron Klain, about the administration they both worked for.

That’s just what MSNBC tried to pass off as balanced coverage of current events, as Inside with Jen Psaki this weekend looked more like a segment of propaganda you’d see on the Korean Central News Agency than on a major American news network trying to be taken seriously.

Of course it’s par for the course for former press secretaries to move onto TV jobs, but something about a former administration mouthpiece becoming a mainstream media administration mouthpiece seems a bit off to Cockburn. Psaki, to her credit, did not play non-partisan games with her viewers during her most recent Klain interview (he’s been on her show before), opting for unabashed flattery straight out of the gate. Her eyes sparkling and her mouth pursed in a delighted smile, Psaki told her grinning former boss, “You have more experience in Washington in every job there is than almost anyone.”
