'It disturbs me to my core': Fox News staffers express outrage over Hannity's rally appearance

Please tell me when Rachel Maddow got up on stage at a Hillary campaign rally and shook her hand, pumped her fist and joined in the chanting?

I find it interesting that y'all are trying to re-define "political support" to "hand motions performed on a stage".

Hannity and the Judge are not journalists. They are cable talk show hosts who have been very open about their political lean and support for Trump and their show ratings beat anything on CNN and MSNBC. Hannity was there at the rally last night for an interview with Trump. He did his show on location. Judge Jeanine, David Limbaugh, were his guests and had no idea Trump was going to call them up to the stage. Rush Limbaugh was at the Missouri rally too along with his brother David Limbaugh. The rally was being held in their hometown. Limbaugh was scheduled to speak.

As far as the outraged anonymous persons at Fox, maybe they should apply for a gig at CNN.

Yep.

Sean Hannity had his own conservative national talk show for years before joining Fox News. Only an idiot would be outraged.

Give me a break. If you saw any CNN or MSNBC host actively campaigning for an elected official, you'd be pulling your hair out and pointing your fingers at the "liberal media". Just be honest.

Sure. Moderators getting into arguments with one of the candidates so as to defend the other one, however, is not that far off at all, in terms of political support.

No she injected herself into the debate to assist her preferred candidate by attempting to make the other look bad on a national stage being carried by all the major networks. What she did in terms of what your complaining about was much worse. She did it front of a much larger audience.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

And it worked! After that Romney was stunned in the spotlight looking weak for all to see. Far more effective for
Obama than Hannity ever has been for Trump.
 
"People throughout the company think a new line was crossed," one senior Fox News employee told CNN Business on Tuesday.
"It disturbs me to my core," said another senior Fox News employee, who added, "I am so f---ing mad."

Hannity isn't a journalist, and fox is Trumpist infotainment. i doubt that many fox employees were really that shocked by Hannity's appearance at the rally. he's actually a small part of the reason that i woke up from my Republican / libertarian delusion. his show is so bad that it tends to break the suspension of disbelief.
