Rachel Maddow is teaching her to use a TelePrompTer, so far with mixed results. Mika Brzezinski offered tips on pinning down squirrelly guests. Nicolle Wallace invited her to editorial meetings, and Andrea Mitchell is tutoring her on interviewing techniques.
Jen Psaki spent the last two decades jousting with journalists. She’s about to find out what it’s like on the other side of the anchor desk.
Less than a year removed from her perch as President Joe Biden’s press secretary, Psaki will become the host of a weekly MSNBC talk show March 19, the network said Tuesday. “Inside With Jen Psaki” will air Sundays at noon, vying for the same weekend clout as political mainstays like “Meet the Press” and “Face the Nation.”
It’s a quick transition to full-time anchor for Psaki, 44, whose deft defenses of the Biden administration — and feisty tête-à-têtes with Fox News’ Peter Doocy — made her a cult figure of sorts among liberals. She spawned the TikTok hashtag #psakibomb and was gently parodied on “Saturday Night Live.”
Now she’ll take charge of an hourlong program on a Biden-friendly network, mixing policy and political discussions with lighter fare like human-interest profiles of politicians, celebrities and athletes. (One of her dream guests: Joe Burrow, the quarterback of her husband’s hometown Cincinnati Bengals.)
Psaki, who began appearing on MSNBC as an analyst in September, is the latest in a line of White House communicators — including George Stephanopoulos, Diane Sawyer and Dana Perino — who have left government for the more glamorous and better remunerated world of TV news.

The Government-Media Complex in action.
With MSNBC she’ll still be the voice of the Biden Administration!
I expect her to moderate a presidential debate:
“Mr. Biden, how are you so awesome?”
“Mr. Trump, why do you continue to justify genocide? What makes you hate black people so much?”
Being facetious I suspect.
How fitting she lands a job at a propaganda central station.
I love when people try to argue that the press is totally unbiased journalists dedicated to getting the truth and all you need to say is “George Stephanopoulos” to short circuit their programming.
I’ll circle back to this thread later.
So they couldn’t hire an actual journalist with broadcasting experience?
Instead they hire a person that doesn’t know how to use the Teleprompter who has a highly visible past as a partisan political hack.
Seems legit...
Ole circle back won’t have to do that anymore. No more pesky questions for .Psaki
I had a Russian coworker from a previous life that told me Pravda was more credible than the American alphabet news because they would dare criticize the Politburo one in awhile.
I saw what you did there.
I find her appearance off putting
Raggedy Ann on crack
"It sucks. Some little creep threw a piece of costume jewelry into a volcano and now I'm looking for another gig. Where am I gonna find another boss as malicious, deceitful, and evil as the last one? Better shoot a resume off to MSNBC..."
Some friendly advice for the young Joe Burrow. After you leave the interview and it starts to burn a little, go see your doctor.
Psaki always reminded me of an actress in cheap porn movies .
"The Yellowstream Media"
So many Swamp grifts, and so many grifters to seize them.
Psak Time.
