Did anyone watch the Hugh Hewitt show on MSNBC this morning?

[madaboutharry]

For the life of me, I don't get this programming decision. Who, other than his mother, is going to watch this show?

Hewitt is a knee jerk Trump apologist. Does Andy Lack not understand the MSNBC audience?
They couldn't find more than 5 people to watch Greta. How do they think a hack like Hewitt is going to be successful.

1. I'd rather stab my eyes out with an ice pick.

[patricia92243]

2. I watched for 5 seconds - long enough for me to realize who he was and then changed

stations. We all need to NOT watch any right-wing stuff on MSNBC, so they will get the message - Right wing= no ratings; left wing= high ratings.

3. Can't stand the guy! n/t

[HipChick]

4. Nope...he needs to boycotted so he can join Greta...Kelly too

[YCHDT]

5. So true !!! FAUX News is tabloid with politics while MSNBC is all the A&B civics class students ....

.... who know what the three branches of government are.

Hewitt and Gretta's tabloid politics style bold face lying or sophistry doesn't fit on that station.

MSNBC isn't going to grab FAUX new's audience ... that's not their grove

[spanone]

6. he'll end up like greta....couple months and gone...i won't watch his shit for one second

[asuhornets]

7. Hell NO....N/T

[procon]

8. I tried, really, I did. Sad.

I lasted about 5 minutes, mostly because he let a 'panel' of two legit journalists do most talking, but then he started speaking it was nothing but the same old, stale, canned bullet points you can hear from every other Republican facing a camera. Boring. He wasn't even worth yelling at my poor TV screen.

I switched to a how-to youtube video about growing your own mung bean sprouts. Since I'm on a obsessive stirfry tangent, I'm really more interested in fresh, home grown bean sprouts than listening to a lame Republican flack like Hewitt.

18. I'm really more interested in limp, mass grown bean sprouts with pesticides than ... n/t

[Gothmog]

9. I will not watch this show

[RockaFowler]

10. Too busy picking up my dog's poop

[Vinca]

11. I make a point not to watch it. Tank him like Greta. Don't watch.

[malaise]

12. Don't plan to watch ever

just like the one they fired this week I'll never watch RWs on GEM$NBComcast

[SamKnause]

13. I don't watch known liars and con artists.

In answer to your question.........Does Andy Lack not understand the MSNBC audience ?

They are trying to turn MSNBC into Fox 'News'.

If there is money to be made destroying the credibility of the media, so be it.

The director of CBS, Leslie Moonves stated during the election........

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."

Power, Greed, and Corruption are the kings in America.

There are very few people in positions of power that have integrity.

17. When Fox is losing viewership and the MSNBC progressive shows is gaining audience...I don't think it

is about ratings or they would not have fire Olberman...it is about ideology at the top of MSNBC.

[KingCharlemagne]

19. Yay, Capitalism :sarcasm: - nt

[Paladin]

14. God no.

I've seen enough of that douchebag to last several lifetimes. He's pathetic, and he has no business being on MSNBC.

[hrmjustin]

15. No.

[Demsrule86]

16. Never, in a few months, he will most likely join Greta.

[nikibatts]

20. Didn't watch. I only watch folks who agree with my values...sorts like FOX viewers.

[shockey80]

21. Whats wrong with his face?

He always looks like he is walking in a wind storm. I have heard him talk a few times. He is stupid. He thinks he knows it all.

[Grammy23]

22. There is something about him that reeks of smugness.

And yes, there is something odd about his face, not that any of us can do much about that. He looks rather reddish on camera and his mouth seems a bit bizarre, almost like a burn victim. Is it possible he has been burned in some manner? I am not offering ANY defense of the guy because he really pushes my buttons when he talks. Or spews is more like it. His attitude sucks canal water, as the youth used to say back in the day. Haughty is another word that comes to mind.

If he is depending on folks like me to keep his show on the air, he is barking up the wrong tree. Why would I intentionally watch something I know is going to get my blood pressure off the cuff? It was bad enough when he was one among several panelists. But his own show with HIS name on it? Forget it!

[Hieronymus]

23. Nope

[UTUSN]

24. Maybe Greta did. She's got some time on her hands!1
