Mark Halperin recently had a conversation with Marc Caputo, formerly of Politico, and they tore into MSNBC for the outlet’s inability or flat out refusal to course correct after the outcome of the 2024 election.
They make some great points, especially about the hiring of Jen Psaki at MSNBC and how no one in the mainstream media seemed to have a problem with it.
MSNBC is in the process of imploding. Joy Reid was just fired and Rachel Maddow has lost a significant portion of her staff and yet they show no signs of trying to fix the problems that are killing the network.
FOX News has details:
“Jen Psaki’s hiring by MSNBC was one of the many examples of how utterly broken the Acela media industrial complex is,” Caputo said. “For the first time in United States history, a sitting president seeking reelection had his press secretary go and work for a major media enterprise and anchor a show. And no one f—ing said anything about how irregular, how newsworthy, how out of line that was.”
He added “So when we come to our current moment, Jen Psaki, MSNBC represents a very particular inflection point, as does the Biden presidency, in the way in which the press covered it. That leads us to where we are today.”
Halperin agreed, but suggested, “Of all of the examples of liberal media bias denied by the people who run the big organizations, of all the examples, perhaps the most egregious is they hire media writers who are far, far left—as if they’re covering the media fairly.”
“If you’re going to have a media writer whose job it is to hold the media to account, you cannot hire people who hate Donald Trump. And their coverage isn’t subtle,” Halperin added.

Trust in media is at an all-time low. This conversation goes a long way to explaining why that is the case.
