Join me in complaining about Hugh Hewitt on MSNBC

Last edited Sat Jan 20, 2018, 01:48 PM - Edit history (1)

I just watched a sickening half hour of Fox news bullshit from Hugh Hewitt, only it was broadcast on MSNBC. He used every right wing talking point about the budget deal, even using the "Schumer Shutdown" talking point.

I will not purchase any product or use any service that advertises on the Hewitt show.

Join me in registering a complaint against Fox News bullshit being broadcast on MSNBC by a paid host, Hugh Hewitt.

Call MSNBC at 212-664-4444. They will connect you to the comment line to leave a voice message.

Normal people are not going to watch those clowns and fn viewers aren’t heading over to msnbc.
It’s such poor management I don’t know how they keep their jobs.

They could have built a much stronger viewership already but they keep cutting off their own noses.

That the is only thing i admire about republicans is how they all stay on the same page and repeat the same talking points over and over again, hoping they seep into the mainstream media.

As long as people tune in and watch that program, ratings will be up. Just stop watching it. If enough people do that MSNBC will get the picture very clearly.

Hewitt is a right-wing cretin who has no business whatsoever appearing on MSNBC.

Organizing a letter-writing, call-in campaign to boycott Hewitt's advertisers would have much more impact. It's all about the money.

Now that they have a (mostly) good lineup of intelligent, informative anchors, with a concurrent boost in ratings, you'd think they'd now understand what their audience wants. Real news, and discussion, with differing views yes, not propaganda. Hewitt is unqualified.

MSNBC has been going bad since they fired many of their liberal hosts over a year ago. It has seemed to be better since trump became president, but with any media always FOLLOW THE MONEY. They loved trump before the election - good ratings. Now they seem to be anti-trump - good ratings. Ratings and profit is their goal. If quality reporting was their goal, the ratings would follow. Rachel has great ratings, right?

For such an individual who counterargues a factual quote with, “heard it completely differently”, shouldn’t have a platform to spout off his right-wing nonsensical propaganda.
