Hugh Hewitt To Debut New Show On MSNBC

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt will be the host of a new show on MSNBC, the network announced on Thursday. The show will air on Saturday mornings at 8 a.m., starting this week. The show will be a half hour.

Hewitt, along with Greta Van Susteren and Nicole Wallace, are notable conservatives that are now working for the notoriously left-leaning network.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, some on the left were not thrilled with the news of the new show. Media Matters for America called Hewitt "Sean Hannity in glasses."

When your response to Rachel Madow kicking ass is hiring Hugh Hewitt, there might be something other that ratings in play here. https://t.co/Sg50DCNbZ3
