TVNewser’s Chris Ariens reports that Hugh Hewitt will be getting a half hour show on early weekend mornings.
As part of the expansion, conservative radio talk show host and MSNBC contributor Hugh Hewitt is getting a half hour show, airing Saturdays at 8 a.m. ET. In addition, Thomas Roberts will anchor two hours in the evening both weekend nights.
Cue the delusional howls of “MSNBC is abandoning the Left” in 3, 2, 1…
It’s hardly prime timeslot placement and it’s only a half hour. Not exactly a full throated embrace of Hewitt. But it does give the network the ability to point more at balance than say FNC can. And before the J$ brigade storms this blog in protest, I ask you to name me one show, just one show, that is fronted on FNC by a prominent liberal equal to Hewitt’s prominence on the Right.
