Remember Hugh Hewitt during the 2016 campaign? The RINO hack, a big NeverTrumper routinely appeared on CNN, and even moderated some GOP debates where he openly showed his hatred of Trump and favoritism of establishment candidates like Bush, Rubio and Kasich. Now it looks hack Hewitt may get his own show on MSNBC. I wonder what they’ll call it.

The radical transformation of cable news continues. According to a report by Yashar Ali in New York Magazine, conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt is in talks with MSNBC about the creation of a new television show Hewitt would host.
According to New York Magazine’s sources, the show would air on weekend evenings. Initially, Hewitt had been offered a show for weekend mornings, but Hewitt turned the offer down because he reportedly wants an evening show.
Hewitt is a longtime conservative radio host who is broadcast through the popular Salem Radio Network. He is also currently a contributor for NBC News and appears frequently on panels on MSNBC and NBC News shows, such as “Meet the Press.”
If Hewitt does end up with his own show on MSNBC, it would continue the traditionally liberal network’s move toward more moderate programming. MSNBC shocked many when it decided to launch in January 2017 a new show featuring conservative Greta Van Susteren, who hosted a show on the Fox News Channel for 14 years.
The good news here at least is, that the leftists who are on MSNBC and fans of the channel hate the news that Hewitt may get his own show. Oh well.
