ABBY PHILLIP

Abby Phillip is not interested in working at the White House. The CNN senior political correspondent and host of Inside Politics Sunday with Abby Phillip shut down rumors that she is interested in replacing White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “If this is true, it’s the first I am hearing about it,” Phillip told West Wing Playbook in an email.

Both Fox and CNN announced schedule changes on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021. Both Fox and CNN announced lineup changes Monday, as is often the case for news organizations with a new president about to take power. For years, first with Shepard Smith and then with MacCallum, Fox has stressed news instead of opinion in that hour. In fact, Newsmax issued a statement that its improved daytime and 7 p.m. ratings since the election has triggered changes at Fox. Since the election, CNN has averaged 1.92 million viewers in those daytime hours, with Fox and MSNBC both at 1.53 million.
