MSNBC is facing significant concerns as three of its flagship shows—“Alex Wagner Tonight,” “Inside with Jen Psaki,” and “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell”—recorded historic lows in viewership during a busy news week.
Alex Wagner averaged just 595,000 viewers, while Jen Psaki drew 651,000, and Lawrence O’Donnell hit a low of 61,000 in the key demographic of adults aged 25-54.
Rachel Maddow’s audience has dropped by 43% since Donald Trump’s election.
Critics suggest that MSNBC’s far-left stance and recent scandals, including Al Sharpton’s failure to disclose campaign payments, may be eroding viewer trust and contributing to its declining ratings.
