    Bravo Sean.

    On a Fox News show, Hannity seems to cheerleader, to put it politely, Republicans, from Palin to Trump, in what I would characterize as an adoring, sycophantic, and promotional fashion.


    Though I do not think anyone, left or right, would characterize Hannity as a hard hitting journalist, a recent guest may very well have been one of the more ridiculous and less believable characters to haunt hollow, right leaning chat shows.

    This fellow claims a lot about Hilalry CLinton, most of it sexual, and that he, a Libertarian supporting Trump, was her fixer, I think that is like a closer, a cleaner a la Harvey Keitel, or a cooler, all somewhat fictional constructs.

    But I think this also shows the depth that the Trump media will stoop to.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...illary-is-evil-bisexual-secret-sex-freak.html

    On Monday night, unpaid Donald Trump adviser and current Fox News host Sean Hannity broadcasted his “EXCLUSIVE” interview with Jeff Rovin, novelist and self-identified “fixer” for Hillary and Bill Clinton. Rovin first told his story to supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer last week, opening up about his alleged past as a Clinton ally who would help the powerful couple manipulate the press and (also!) set up secret, extramarital sexual liaisons.
    Hannity emphasized that Fox News could not “independently verify” Rovin’s story. He also noted that the Clinton presidential campaign—“shockingly”—did not respond to his team’s multiple requests seeking comment.
    “I was fixing [for the Clintons], I really don’t like that term, but there it is,” Rovin told Hannity. “I was fixing something for an actor who was in their inner circle.”

    Hannity proceeded to gently and credulously ask Rovin about his explosive claims about working to kill negative Clinton stories in the press, and about the Clintons’ “open marriage” and how he’d “help them hide their scandals.”
    Rovin, who said he wanted to appear on Hannity’s program to offer a “less hyperbolic” version of the Enquirer cover story, was awfully cagey for someone who was outing himself as a notorious Clinton “fixer.” He did assert that it was an “open secret” among his fellow Clintonite cohorts that Hillary Clinton had a romantic relationship with Vince Foster, the former White House aide who committed suicide and has since become a fascination of Clinton conspiracy theorists. Rovin said he’d been at the Clinton White House “twice.” He discussed how “the world is upside down [and] we have to set it right, again.”
    He apparently identifies as a libertarian, who is ABSOLUTELY NOT doing this to help the Trump campaign. When pressed by Hannity on who he’d be voting for in November, Rovin demurred but conceded, “I like Trump, sure.”
    …OK, there’s a lot to unpack here.
    First, the Enquirer “bombshell,” of which Rovin was the star subject, is a “WORLD EXCLUSIVE 9-PAGE SPECIAL INVESTIGATION.” The story breathlessly details how the former secretary of State and first lady is a sex-crazed, “evil,” “polyamorous,” bisexual (or at least bi-curious), and “ruthless power-hungry” supervillain, one prolific in the dark arts of criminal conspiracy and character assassination aimed at Bill’s “bimbos.”
    The Enquirer article is jam-packed with clandestine sex romps, mysterious death, prostitutes, “LIES AND SPIES,” and a woman (now the Democratic presidential nominee!) hell-bent on manipulating her sex-crazed self all the way to becoming leader of the free world

    Rovin—who was interviewed anonymously by the Enquirer and labeled Hillary’s “BAGMAN”—spilled his guts to the tabloid about the Clintons’ alleged sex-hypocrisy, detailing an “endless string of sexual stories arising from what effectively was the Clintons’ open, polyamorous marriage.”
    “[Her fixer] arranged a lesbian romp for bisexual Hillary with a prominent Hollywood identity!” the Enquirer reported. “[He] squealed about a lusty rendezvous he arranged for Hillary that FINALLY proves the lesbian rumors that have dogged her for decades!”
    “I arranged a meeting for Hillary and a woman in an exclusive Beverly Hills hotel,” he told the publication. “From the moment the Clintons found their feet in Los Angeles and began to meet the stars, they became addicted to power… It’s ironic their own scandalous truths are worthy of a movie script!”
    Compelling stuff.
    Rumors that Hillary is a lesbian murderer—or that Bill is a cocaine-addled deviant—have proliferated in fringe corners of the internet and right-wing circles for ages. Authors Robert Morrow, Edward Klein, and Trump’s longtime adviser and political ally Roger Stone have written books making outlandish claims about supposed Clinton drug habits, sexual preferences, and bloody, bloody history. (Trump himself suggested this month that Hillary was screwing around on former president Bill.)
    Rovin has had a decently impressive career as a fiction writer. He has co-authored sci-fi novels with William Shatner and X-Files star Gillian Anderson. He took over Tom Clancy’s Op-Center novel series after the author died in 2013. And his Penguin Random House author page notes he is “a student of the martial arts”—much like Hannity himself.

    Jeff Rovin also edited the Weekly World News tabloid for a time. As The Atlantic has noted, the publication “highlighted tabloid journalism’s thin line between fiction and nonfiction,” until its print edition folded in 2007. The tabloid pushed self-consciously outlandish stories, like the classic “BAT CHILD ESCAPES!” It also had its fair share of Hillary Clinton-related tall tales.
    “BILL CATCHES HILLARY WITH SPACE ALIEN!” blared one headline.
    “HILLARY ADOPTS ALIEN BABY,” read a 1993 cover.
    When Rovin started editing the publication, he stressed the importance of its coverage of space aliens.
    “National, international, and even interplanetary events are being suppressed,” he wrote in an editor’s note on May 2, 2005. “Newspapers, television, and the internet are feeding us what dolphins call ‘meep… meepahh… marp’—Literally, lies as deep as the ocean.”
    “When the government tries to cover up visits from space aliens and time travelers, we’ll be there,” Rovin continued. “(Weekly World News will even tell you what investments, if any, people from the future are making in the stock market. You won’t find that in Forbes!)”
    The Trump campaign did not respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment on whether Republican nominee sees any merit in this Enquirer story on his Democratic rival. However, the Enquirer (a Trump-endorsing tabloid long famous for printing unsubstantiated gossip and stories about space aliens and the Illuminati) and Hannity have become two of Trump’s most reliable allies in the media during this election—and sometimes in concert.
    Hannity, for his part, has gone full-on conspiracy theorist during this presidential election, during which he has been doing everything in his power—including starring in an official Trump campaign ad—to get Trump elected president.
    Earlier this year, when the Enquirer ran a baseless story suggesting that Ted Cruz’s dad, Rafael, was in New Orleans passing out pro-Castro pamphlets with Lee Harvey Oswald, President John F. Kennedy’s assassin, Trump widely promoted the “news,” and got his al

    Hannity is a tool. He's a radio disgrace (I don't watch TV).

    His current campaign is run on one principle: "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it". He's all in and desperate. He also realizes he's done the own goal thingy.

    Hannity said he will ALWAYS disagree with a Liberal, even when he know's that he is wrong. He said a Liberal can tell him the sky is blue, and he said he will tell the Liberal they are wrong, the sky is not blue.

    He's a tool. That show was much more better when it was Hannity & Colmes.

    Unlike any others, Hannity openly acknowledges his bias often. All the rest lie claiming they are impartial. At least he is honest about it.

    I'm not sure being honest about his dishonesty can be considered a positive character trait.

    Fox is unlike the other networks. For example, the Megyn Kelly hour has been the "destroy Donald Trump" hour for over a year, while Hannity follows her with the "destroy Hillary Clinton" hour. Fox puts on both rabidly opposed sides. The other networks are 24/7 attack Trump and defend Clinton.

    The difference being, Megyn Kelly is actually a real journalist. And much more pleasant on the eyes that Hannity's stupid mug.

    But I'm sure you already knew that.

    It's all a big gimmick.

    Donald Trump used the first debate as an opportunity to intimidate the media. He could have picked MSNBC or any of the three regular broadcast networks.

    Instead, he picked the one network that was most likely to give him non stop psycophantic coverage. Cowing Roger Ailes and Megyn Kelly blew the minds of television news directors everywhere.

    It took a couple of days for Roger Ailes to figure it out.

    Since then, (at least till his untimely removal) Ailes used Kelly as a sort of television feud with Trump.

    It's no more real than the staged radio feuds between Bob Hope and Bing Crosby on the radio were. Pure show biz.

    They know that audience doesn't care about news. They're there to be infotained.

    Kelly gets to wear the Fox anti Trump face, while the rest of the network is his cheerleader. Fox, and its audience gets to have it both ways.

    Sham Hammity may be on his way out. His radio ratings tanked after Limbugh cut him loose from the bundling arrangements that he used to use to boost his brand in Clear Channel.

    And, although Fox's viewers are the oldest on cable news, Hannity's are even older. (in thier 70's on average). This is no a formula for a long future in television.

    If this guy said he worked for Trump, his media interview schedule would be full.

    Hillary is evil. She is bisexual.

    You're insulting evil bisexuals. That's the issue I see with your statement.

    Funny thing about the Inquirer: they fact check thoroughly. Their investigative reporting is actually better than any mainstream news you can name - on television or in print. Ironically, the Inquirer now represents investigative reporting, while the rest are just tabloids.

    The rest of the network is not pro Trump. Hannity is, and the morning show is supportive. However, the rest of the shows feature ridiculously pro-Hilary people to comment all day long on Trump's stupidity.

    Not surprised. Hannity loves to pal around with convicted criminals like James O'Keefe.

    I'm sure you were saying that prior to her dislike of Donald Trump too. Maybe you should tune in and watch her, it'll take a shart ton more viewers for her to match Hannity's evening program.

    Yes of course. Fox's viewers are 4 years older than MSNBC's, and 6 years older than CNN's. But Fox also wins out in the 25-54 age range as well. About the future in television, do people stop aging at 69 or something?
