"I retract nothing," said the biased Fox News host and mid-day radio comedian. Makes me wonder why?
Well, Slate, a somewhat biased but not outright lying, web site has a take.
Why Sean Hannity can’t let go of the Seth Rich conspiracy.
But, watching Sean slobber all over Trump's...uh, shoes does nothing for ratings. In fact, his ass kissing of the Donald has cost him points on the ratings chart. Big points.
Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of Hannity viewers who are loathe to let it go too. Problem is, there are nowhere enough o them left to keep Sean afloat.

Hannity is famous for his bluster, his intense partisanship, and his willingness to bend the truth to his political agenda. The Trump presidency, which he has supported relentlessly, has pushed him to new levels of mendacity and shamelessness, even as it has cemented his prominence and relevance. Hannity was among the first to score an exclusive sit-down with the president, and he corresponds with Trump regularly as a “friend,” reportedly even advising him on strategy and messaging.

Increasingly, viewers have responded by changing the channel: Hannity’s show, which once ruled the 10 p.m. time slot in cable news, has been bested in recent weeks several times by that of MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
In Rich, Hannity seemed to have found at last an alternate-reality drama that could compel viewers while at the same time distracting from Trump’s struggles. No wonder he’s loath to let it go.
