Four major news outlets holding front row seats in the White House briefing room are reportedly seeking to hire White House press secretary Jen Psaki, sources familiar with the matter told Puck News.

The four outlets — NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC — have all expressed interest in hiring the White House press secretary as she reportedly intends to seek a career in cable television, sources told Puck News. She and her agent, Jay Sures, have reportedly had lunches with CNN and MSNBC executives.

The outlets are joined in the first row by Fox News, Reuters and the Associated Press (AP). Reporters have expressed frustration with Psaki for allowing the front row to have major privileges inside the briefing room, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

A briefing erupted in protest Monday after AP reporter Josh Boak abruptly ended the press conference after just 39 minutes, citing the tradition allowing the oldest wire service, the AP, to end the meeting whenever it chooses.

The press secretary previously responded to rumors circulating that she intends to head to CNN or MSNBC at a Feb. 26 press conference. (RELATED: ‘Let Me Finish’: Doocy And Psaki Share Heated Exchange Over Rising Gas Prices)

“I have more than enough on my plate here and so you can’t get rid of me just yet,” she said. “Sorry, Peter [Doocy] for you on that.”

Psaki announced her intention to leave her current position in May to spend more time with her two young children.

“I think it’s going to be time for somebody else to have this job in a year from now or about a year from now,” she told CNN’s David Axelrod. “I don’t want to miss time with them [her children]. I don’t want to miss moments. I don’t want to miss things, and I’m very mindful of that as well.”

Prior to her current role, Psaki worked as a political commentator for CNN. She also held a position as traveling press secretary in former President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, then as deputy press secretary and later promoted to communications director in 2009.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
