"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.

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.

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.

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.

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 was fitting himself for Spicer's suit, but DJT had other ideas!
 
Well, hopefully he'll just get more and more extreme, then flame out a la Beck
 
The left seems to be doing everything they can to shut down this story and obstruct justice for Seth Rich. Perhaps a special prosecutor is warranted to find out what Hillary knew and when she knew it. There is a lot of smoke here and where there is smoke there is fire.

See what I mean? You are engaging in a distraction and trying to make me the issue. Clearly you are terrified of a true investigation.

The Fox News brass are not happy with the company they keep: Fox News staffers 'disgusted' at network's promotion of Seth Rich conspiracy theory - May. 22, 2017

So....Fox News is the left?

Fox News retracts Seth Rich conspiracy story | TheHill

Hannity, going full nutcase conspiracy theorist....comedy gold!
 
I am beginning to wonder if Hannity implodes on this and ends up following O'Reily to Beck TV. Fox will not be happy if he digs in and blows off their retraction. Fox wants this Rich crap to go away.

Yeah honestly the best place for him now is Infowars, but I doubt Alex wants to share the spotlight.

If the Russian / Trump collusion meme warrants a special council, after 8 months an no evidence, AND multiple congressional testimonies that no evidence has been found, then surely this would warrant one as well. After all, clearly the bar has been lowered with the Trump / Russian collusion CT.
 
Where ya been? Hannity went full CT in 2016 maybe 2015. And his earlier stuff was questionable at the very least.

Actually, when he was a lowly screamer on a university station, his show was all conspiracy and racist dog whistles. Note....he never did graduate.:lamo
 
How long do you all think he will be on the Fox payroll? I have a feeling it won't be long. Less than a month, imo. But, hey, I'm probably wishfully thinking. He's a pig.
 
Hannity is everything wrong with the Fake Right.

It seems MSNBC took Fox in the Arbs this week, and Rachel Maddow had the highest ranking show, with Lawrence Donnell second, both beating Hannity, and O'Donnell beating him head to head in the same slot.

Now I suspect much of that has to do with Fox losing O'Reilley, but I also believe there might be a move away from fake news. Let's face it, if Fox keeps spinning fantasy as it's becoming apparent there's serious problems with the Presidency, sooner or later many - even those from Fox - are going to want to see what is going-on.

I also suspect Trump dislike is growing.

Why would Hannity retract anything? His job is to provide opinion based analysis. No different than what is currently happening with the Trump/Russia stuff. Should all of the pundits that are speculating that Trump conspired with the Russians retract everything they've said, too? There's no evidence for that, either.

lol...When fox retracts with a "this story does not measure up to our usual journalistic integrity" type line, you know the story has to be complete bull****, perhaps even bad enough to be sued over.

Which is exactly my opinion of this Trump/Russia collusion B.S. If that whopper can get packaged and presented as legitimate news then I guess anything goes.

Except there is actual evidence connecting Trump's team to Russians. :lol:

No there isn't.

Everyone involved with the investigation has said that zero evidence, let me repeat that... ZERO EVIDENCE has been found of anyone in the Trump campaign working with Russia to impact the election.

Former CIA Chief: Russia Brazenly interfered in the the US Election.

Trey Gowdy: Was there a collusion with the Trump campaign?

CIA Chief: People from the Trump campaign were communicating with the Russians.

:roll:

This was very much my thinking as well.

No there isn't.

Gee. Let me count the ways.

Clapper: No evidence.
Brennen: No evidence.
Comey: No evidence.
Feinstein: No evidence.

And a number more of the democratic leaders all saying no evidence.
And a number more of Obama's political appointees all saying no evidence.

I'm just wondering when the rest of the political left might catch on. I guess some just simply won't, simply are incapable of accepting information that runs counter to their political ideology.

Isn't the first time either. Far from it.

I seem to recall an election when the eventual election winner was offered up as a possible election winner, all they could muster was laughter. I guess they aren't laughing so much now.
