Far-right pundit and death star cyborg with a creepy smile Hugh Hewitt announced this morning that his Saturday morning show on "liberal" MSNBC has been cancelled. Two thoughts: he had a show on MSNBC? And, why did he have a show on MSNBC? We suppose because MSNBC's top suit Phil Griffin still thinks it's worth milking a buck or two from people who like their Saturday breakfast with a side of Trumpist crap and a glass of mendacious bile. Sad!
It was Griffin who failed to renew the great Joan Walsh's contract last December (she's on CNN now, and is sharp as ever), and who has had an attraction to right-wing talking heads over the years, despite MSNBC's counter-programing strategy balancing Fux "News." Our guess is if Hewitt had produced ratings above those of a dead cactus, he'd still be on the air.
Time to return to the death star to recharge your ion crystals.
