lmao, quoting one's statement = reeing?

The way that Faux is reeeing today about him and Pirro makes it fairly clearly they “suggested” that they should not attend the rally. Hannity made a statement then either changed his mind evolved on the subject at hand or did it to please Faux’s upper brass then bamboozled the shit out them :rofl:

If Faux is that upset at him just fire Hannity.

no one needs be fired, fox news is in an era where Hannity can be openly biased and pro trump without it hurting his ratings. and his credibility cant got down any more anyways. so this type of flip flopping and acting like he's fair and balanced is silly. he should own it.

Hannity's show is obviously the most blatant bullshit, but it's more than just Hannity. I've watched a lot of Fox News since Trump was elected. It's essentially a propaganda network for the Trump administration. Carlson is probably the best about not directly shilling for the President, but he essentially plays devil's advocate to a lot of the administration's goals and talking points.

There's also an open exchange of Trump officials and Fox News pundits that occurs. Former members of the administration join Fox News and members of Fox News join the administration pretty frequently.

They are not a legit news organization. They are an unofficial wing of the GOP, and this presidency has all but confirmed that role.

"In spite of reports, I will be doing a live show from Cape Girardeau and interviewing President Trump before the rally. To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President. I am covering final rally for my show. Something I have done in every election in the past." - Sean Hannity
Life comes at you fast.

Is Hannity's show a legit, independent news show or a de facto propaganda outlet for Trump?


One of the most disturbing parts of Trump's presidency is the number of Americans who are totally cool if he lies to them endlessly. No surprise the #1 propagandist for the cult gets away with the same thing.

Hannity isn’t blatant in his Drumpf support? It’s about as telegraphed as a knuckleball that doesnt knuckle. no care about him flipping on attending some rally. He evolved on the matter. He isnt fair and balanced at all lol

and sure they should fire him. If one of their employees doesn’t represent what Faux stands for (whatever the hell that means) just 86 him and Pirro too while they’re at it

National media members develop relationships with government officials(and other political people) to get access to information.

What's funny is even Trump and his family give the scoops to Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, Robert Costa and other mainstream, respected reporters. The "fake news" label is a political talking point... if Trump(and his administration) actually respected the idiots at Gateway Pundit and Fox News they might give them scoops every now and then. Only the lemmings that follow him don't understand this.

that statement was clearly put out to try and seem somewhat unbiased, otherwise why would he make it?

people called out ahead of time that Sean was in town to campaign with trump, he for some reason felt the need to counter the narrative. then unironically played right into it. a blunder, plain and simple. he gains nothing by trying to run lines similar to CNN ads about being credible, that no one takes serious, and he looks dumb for playing into their hands.

the best play of all is to not get on stage, or get on stage but ignore the chatter. he chose poorly, twice. but i dont support people getting fired for saying dumb shit on social media.

Yes, I am responsible. I probably watch at least 1 Hannity and Carlson show a week. Usually half-watch an Ingraham Angle maybe once every two weeks or so. Catch some of the more popular segments on YouTube. I like to know what's going on in Trumpland. My fiancee and I watch it together. She gets triggered and pissed. Meanwhile, I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it is.

I also like to flip back and forth between Fox News and CNN on big news days just because I think it's hilarious to see such drastically different takes about the same shit.

But you couldn't pay me to watch Maddow. Actually, you probably could, but that's beside the point. But damn, she takes forever to reach the point she is trying to make. Jumbles her words. It's so frustrating to watch. Garbage.

did he do a live show there at all? or just waltzed on stage with a maga hat and did some stump speech? he’s not smart for going up after saying he wouldnt and he blatantly said one thing to his employer then did another thing it seems, so Faux has cause to sack him and Pirro.
