According to recent reports, Megyn Kelly, the host of The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM, has confidently shared her disapproval towards Jen Psaki, who hosts an MSNBC Sunday morning talk show. Kelly attributes the decline in viewership to a lack of interest among the audience, indicating her unwavering stance.
According to The New York Post, Kelly asserted that Psaki utilized her former position as White House Press Secretary to secure her current job as a talk show host, with ambitions of gaining notoriety.
“This is so true of all these people that work at the White House Press Office,” Kelly said. “What they really want is to be a cable news star. And so, they lay the foundation while they’re over there trying to make themselves into a national personality.”
According to Nielsen, Psaki’s debut drew about 1.1 million viewers, but her most recent episode on April 23 only drew 765,000 viewers. Despite Kelly’s critique, Psaki’s show has consistently outperformed her competitors on CNN regarding viewership.
“Literally, it’s like a downward escalator … the overall and the demo off a cliff,” Kelly said.
According to Kelly, Psaki is attempting to transform herself into a star, but her lack of ability in this field results in her failure to do so.
“She had more talent being a professional spinner behind the lectern than she does being a different kind of professional spinner behind the MSNBC mic,” Kelly said.
