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." http://nym.ag/2prAVAA --"Milo Yiannopoulos Is Starting a New, Ugly, For-Profit Troll Circle," by Vanity Fair's Tina Nguyen: "Milo Yiannopoulos, the former tech editor at Breitbart ... told the Hive that he would be launching a new media venture in the coming weeks with what he says is a $12 million investment from backers whose identities he is protecting ...
