190120._UY500_SS500_Above: What America needs now is for fictional conspiracy theories about Democratic election rigging to get the widest possible audience

Apparently, Jeffrey Lord wasn’t available:

MSNBC is in talks with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt about creating a show for him on weekend evenings, four well-placed sources at the network tell Daily Intelligencer. Initially MSNBC was keen on having Hewitt host a program on weekend mornings, but that idea is off the table because Hewitt wants to be on in the evening, according to two sources. At one point, network management also floated moving Joy-Ann Reid’s popular weekend program AM Joy to the afternoon to serve as a lead-in for Hewitt and help jumpstart his ratings, but that plan has seemingly been dropped.

I particularly like the detail that MSNBC executives thought that what Morning Joy’s audience was really looking for was to watch a fourth-rate hack conservative talk show host. (Not all heroes wear capes!)

Can you imagine conservative media sources reacting to an election loss by deciding they needed to hire some rotely partisan liberals? Me neither.
