Two things are certain after Midterms. Expect to see even more Trump craziness. Expect to see more people leave Fox News (perhaps for WH jobs).

New York (CNN)Fox News journalists were outraged and disgusted after Sean Hannity, the network's star host, campaigned with President Donald Trump on Monday night ahead of the midterm elections, more than half a dozen employees told CNN Business.

"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."

Its no different than when liberals host debates and shill for the democrat on the stage. The liberal media has made careers out of it so why the outrage over a republican doing it to?

Point me to a time when Wolf Blitzer appeared on stage with Obama giving him hugs and high fives. I bet you can't.

Fox News is who is most outraged over it. I’m guessing it is because they like to at least have some plausible deniability when they are accused of being Trump’s mouth piece and this removes that deniability.

Everyone else is just numb.........new “normal.”
 
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.

Sad to say I'm not numb to it...halp! I can still feel them operating on me!!

I feel like I'm in one of those twilight zone or black mirror episodes where the mind control wore off, and I see everything for how it is, and I'm scrambling to get back to it. Blue pill, I change my mind, blue pill!

Plausable deniability? Hannity has been in the tank for trump from day 1.

I doubt anyone significant is upset over this. Anyomous sources could mean interns. Sheppard smith, chris wallace, geraldo, juan williams, i suspect might of said something negative. In any case nothing unethical happened.

Hannity speaks highly of trump every day. This is faux outrage about them not liking their efforts to ramp up the base.

It’s one thing to fellate from afar; another thing to........you know. If this had been a Democrat, you’d be screaming from the rafters.
 
The Trump campaign had promoted Hannity over the weekend as a "special guest" at Trump's final rally before Tuesday's midterm election. But a Fox News spokesperson told CNN Business and other news outlets soon after that Hannity would simply be at the rally in Missouri to broadcast his show and cover the event for the network. Hannity offered an identical message in a Monday morning tweet, saying, "To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the president."

It's not merely that he appeared.

No i wouldnt but i would point out the obvious bias being shown. I think its fair to do so. Hannity nor fox portray him to be a journalist and he is open about his bias. I have no problem with that. It would not bother me if rachel maddow toured on stage with obama or whoever. Its honest.

My gripe is when they pretend to be neutral and they are really pushing an agenda.

You really don't see any difference between being a debate moderator and actively campaigning with someone. Really????! <smh>

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.

This is no different than Republicans saying they are "deeply concerned" when Trump burns a cross on somebody's lawn or catapults a baby into the side of a barn. Every Fox News employee knows full well they work for a state propaganda tool that, in turn, works for the President. They just don't like it that Hannity robbed them of their plausible deniability.

I see a big difference and it's much worse to bring your bias into a debate as the moderator than what Hannity did.

You want me to pull up the Romney Obama presidential debate and compare that to this?

What About What About What About.....A tired excuse
 
Hannity is not a journalist.

He is a cable news talk show host. Very hard right leaning.

Anyone who is outraged by his appearance with Trump is a little confused.
