MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight," "Inside with Jen Psaki" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" all hit rock bottom last week despite a busy news cycle.
The article from MSN discusses the recent viewership lows for MSNBC's prime-time shows hosted by Lawrence O'Donnell, Jen Psaki, and Alex Wagner, despite a week filled with significant news events. According to the report, these shows experienced their lowest viewership numbers in the key 25-54 demographic, with O'Donnell's "The Last Word" attracting only 37,000 viewers, Psaki's "Inside with Jen Psaki" drawing 29,000, and Wagner's "Alex Wagner Tonight" with 33,000. This decline occurred during a period marked by high-profile political and legal developments, including the Trump hush money trial and the Supreme Court's consideration of presidential immunity. The article suggests that despite the potential for increased viewership due to these events, MSNBC's programming failed to capitalize on the news cycle, leading to these all-time low ratings.
