MSNBC Gives Conservative Radio Host Hugh Hewitt a Show
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 6/22/2017 | Jeremy Bar

Posted on 06/22/2017 8:45:43 AM PDT by Cheerio

The commentator is joining MSNBC's Saturday morning lineup, a move that is sure to raise eyebrows at the network and among the network's left-leaning fans.

MSNBC, which has been soaring lately in both ratings and in advertising prices, is giving radio host Hugh Hewitt his own show, adding another conservative voice to a lineup that already includes Fox News poach Greta Van Susteren and former George W. Bush communications hand Nicole Wallace.

Hewitt's self-titled show will air on Saturday mornings at 8 a.m., starting June 24, as part of an expansion of the network's weekend programming in July. TVNewser first reported the news, which was then announced by the company.

Hugh Hewitt will say anything if you pay him enough.

Be certain he will be fully aware of which die his bread is buttered on at MSNBC and and speak accordingly

He voted for Trump. I’ve heard him say it.

Nicole Wallace and Greta are NOT conservatives.

Another one who ‘grew’ once he hit the big time.

Started listening to him back about ‘01 on the old KRLA.

Quit last year during the run-up to the election.

Hewitt resided for a time in California, but it had absolutely no offect on him. He was NEVER a Californian. What you get with him is pure Warren, Ohio.

“giving radio host Hugh Hewitt his own show, adding another conservative voice to a lineup that already includes Fox News poach Greta Van Susteren and former George W. Bush communications hand Nicole Wallace.”

Neither Hewitt, Greta nor Nicole Wallace are conservatives.

Hewitt and Wallace supported Clinton in the last election and continually attacked Trump. Wallace also backstabbed and sabotaged Sarah Palin when she worked for the McCain presidential campaign.

The media is rewarding Hewitt and Wallace for their dishonest attacks on Trump with Saturday morning radio shows.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

These slime balls sold their souls and all they got in return were Saturday morning radio shows.

The media is rewarding t

Hewitt loves gop establishment chamber of commerce open borders dirtbags like paul ryan. He is a full on gop e shill. The conservative nonsense is just his mantra since there is no liberal radio. If you want a fake conservative like jennifer rubin, david brooks, michael medved,douthat, jonah goldberg, etc then hewitt is for you.

Relax.

Hugh is a (barely) right of center conservative, who has bargained his principles to gain exposure to a left wing audience.

His true views are move conservative than expressed, because he wants to appear “open” and listening to liberals to better position himself to confront them.

Keep in mind that Hugh has been pressing Trump to get on with conservative appointments to the judiciary and sub-cabinet positions.

He’s not as conservative as I’d like...but...neither are you.
