Matt Gertz, of Media Matters is repairing the leftists site's reputation and turning it back to being a media watchdog. What Hannity is doing should be very concerning to Americans. This is nothing but state propaganda:

Our study, building on our earlier reviews of the program’s coverage of the Trump-Russia saga, found that of the 487 Hannity segments about the Mueller probe:
  • 256 segments -- a whopping 53 percent -- included criticism of the media’s coverage of the Mueller investigation, which Hannity and his guests consider excessively anti-Trump.
  • 191 segments included commentators suggesting that there had been no collusion between Trump or his associates and Russia.
  • 82 segments feature attempts to construct a counternarrative by claiming that the real collusion had been between Russia and Democrats. This is often a reference to the Uranium One pseudoscandal, which was referenced in 38 percent of all segments about the Mueller investigation.
  • 25 segments involved commentators downplaying reporting about Trump and his associates by saying that collusion is not a crime.
  • 81 segments described Mueller’s probe as a “witch hunt,” while 140 included criticism of purported “conflicts of interest” involving members of his team.
  • 67 segments included suggestions that Mueller should resign, recuse himself, be fired, or otherwise end the investigation. 41 suggested that Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general overseeing the probe, should do so.
  • 186 segments -- nearly 38 percent of the total -- claimed top federal law enforcement officials involved in the creation of the probe had broken the law.
  • 218 segments -- 45 percent of the total -- featured Hannity or his guests saying Hillary Clinton had committed crimes.
  • 77 segments included a call for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate Trump’s political enemies.

MediaMatters | Study: Sean Hannity spent the last year laying the groundwork for an authoritarian response to the Russia probe

Partisan hack shows are no better than here. Hannity is no different than our average alt right whack-a-mole. Those who have made a career as a political shock jock would here be universally reviled as trolls or Poes. But to the average dumbass uninformed American, it's the news. Probably more than half the population takes TV talking heads, one side or the other, as gospel. And then there's the real crazies, like Alex Jones. We got those here too.

I have absolutely no respect for anyone who watches Hannity. I have even less respect for the President for having pillow talk with Hannity every night.

I understand your concern.

After the media licked the testicles and anus of Obama for 8-years, and continued the licking with Hillary... the 97% negative coverage by the Leftist Media on Trump is not enough.

You are concerned one man who has an opinion show can reveal so much truth about Leftists.*

Yes, I understand Leftists would like this rare voice snuffed.

It’s what Leftists do.

*Hannity has been key to exposing Obama’s Spygate.

Ahhh... I admire you for your closed-mind, and intolerance.

Please keep writing.

So you agree he is more than a little biased, cool.

May that be as it is, he has a right to air his program. We don't have to watch.

Yes, I should be open minded about our President having pillow talk with a man who is obsessed with his former opponent, promotes conspiracy theories, and attacks the foundation of our law enforcement. I should be more like you!

I don't recall saying you had to watch. I also don't recall saying he has no right to air his program. Presumably this post was meant for someone else as it had exactly nothing to do with what I posted.

Not on their site, as some love to point out, their business so it is their call.
 
Hannity discredits the human race by his existence.

Mueller is doing some swamp-clearing.

Hannity has had Sarah Carter, John Solomon and others on who have been instrumental in getting to the truth of ObamaGate.

Attacks law enforcement? ROTFLOL... tell that to law enforcement, they’d howl. The top of the intel community and DoJ have been proven corrupt. This should be exposed, and the perpetrators locked up.

But hey... I enjoy you posting your closed-mindedness and intolerance.

Well done.

I take it that you rather see Hannity stop. You say otherwise, and perhaps I am misreading what is between the lines. Pro Trump programming and opinion must be ridiculed and shamed.

So here we have programming that offers pro Trump povs. That seems to be unacceptable... lets shame the viewers and scream louder to drown out those voices.

Just because someone does not like a show, does not mean they want it to be stopped. And programming like that should be ridiculed, especially Hannity's show.

Sara Carter! No way! well, that changes everything. Is "Obamagate" something like "spygate"? Or Pizzagate (look how well that worked out for your fellow alt-righters)? Oh, I know. It must be like "Benghazigate". No, wait - "Seth Richgate!".

There are plenty of pro right sites available not sure what you are driving at.

You "take it" wrong. Especially considering I never said anything about seeing Hannity stopped. Not once.

Don't attempt to read between the lines. Read what I write, and keep the paranoia and wild "read between the lines" in check with me, please.

Not paranoia, although a nice attempt at insulting me, but a logical conclusion. What other conclusion should one draw when you say that you don't respect Trump and Hannity fans? Without voices like Hannity's to counter the 95% negative press, the anti Trump movement would have much greater impact. Balance is very important. But alas, no, you didn't say that Hannity should be silenced.

You insulted me by putting words in my mouth for me, and not reading my post as it was.

What conclusion could you reach when I said I don't respect Trump and Hannity fans? The conclusion that anyone would when they read a post that's clear. I don't respect people who are being lied to and who support liars. I don't respect a lot of people who haven't earned by respect. That doesn't mean I want them eradicated from society or their words silenced.

I ask in the future that you don't assume things I never posted.
