It’s official. MSNBC is bringing on conservative commentator S.E. Cupp to co-host its 3 p.m. show. Looks like the cable channel no longer thinks liberals should have complete control of its airwaves.
The tactic seems to have piqued the interest of, at least, some conservatives on Twitter.

Update: Liberal Twitter users are unhappy:
@DITUPAC3361 @dylanratigan @SECupp @MSNBCtv Oh, shit! Why did they hire that bitch? Send her to Fox, she doesn't care about GOP LIES.

If you were watching @MSNBC, make better use of your time, take a walk, read a book anything BUT watch SECupp, #braindead #MSMfail

OK, never thought I would say this, But Sarah Palin makes SECupp look smart @msnbc #MSMfailure

I plan on it RT @Twitlertwit: We should just completely boycott the entire time slot that SECupp is on.just to stick it to @MSNBC #MSMFail

@MSNBC Oh please NO! Not @SECupp. I'm avid MSNBC viewer, she's last conservative I want to hear. Others okay, not her. Not insightful.

We thought the left supported diversity? Silly us.
