MSNBC Punishes Hugh Hewitt For Meeting With Pruitt. Joy Reid Goes Unpunished For Lying About Her Blog Posts.

This week, MSNBC announced that it had punished weekend host Hugh Hewitt with a “verbal warning” for meetings he had with EPA chief Scott Pruitt regarding a clean up of a toxic-waste site near his home.

MSNBC’s discipline of Hewitt followed Politico’s report on Tuesday that Hewitt personally contacted EPA chief Scott Pruitt to arrange a meeting between Pruitt and a law firm that directly pays Hewitt and represents the Orange County Water District.
