Has Hannity taken over from Limbaugh as the worst of the CEC?

There was a time when Limbaugh was the leader of the CEC. He still is fairly popular, but I think Hannity with his silly maniacal rantings every night at the beginning of his show has taken over as the biggest jerk of the CEC. And Pirro is wanna-be Hannity with her rantings at the beginning of her show. I don't think Carlson, even with his recent white nationalism stupidity, comes close to Hannity. And neither does anyone else -- even Limbaugh -- in terms of power right now. Partially because Hannity has Trump's ear.

Thoughts?
 
What is the CEC?
 
I have no idea what "CEC" is but if you're talking about conspiracy theory stuff then Hannity does seem to be heading down that road more and more. He has promised his viewers "the big one" regarding a conspiracy against Trump almost as often as Maddow has promised her viewers the "big one" regarding a conspiracy BY Trump.

I'd like to believe what Hannity has been laying out but after two years of this crap and no nothing from nobody I'm kind of thinking that he's talking out his ass more than anything else.

Here's an interview that was on Fox Business yesterday that you might find interesting

Has he proven that Clinton killed Seth Rich yet?

Keep in mind that Hannity is a co-President. If that doesn't make your bowels run cold, nothing will.

He speaks to an audience who love to hear what he has to say. It is "silly maniacal rantings" only to those who don't watch, don't like him and don't agree with him.
The same is true for i.e. Maddows. Those who don't watch, don't like her and don't agree with her, are calling her opinions "silly maniacal rantings".
No one makes us tune in and listen.

He is in for Hannity, as most of them are in for themselves, for ratings. The left and the right. They pander to their audiences. We mustn't forget that they are commentators, they aren't journalists who report news.
Are there any real journalists who deliver the news these days?
Back to Hannity. He is an attention whore. I remember when he was down at the border during Bush's administration, even stepping over (getting in trouble for it, ims)

I would suggest you not watch Hannity.

Based on current numbers, Hannity has about 1/20th the audience the liberal media propaganda machine has, so I'm not sure what you are railing about.

I take it from your Maddow comment you don't think she hasn't come up with a lot of dirt on Trump but I'll have to disagree there. She has. Almost nightly. Maybe not big stuff, but stuff. Backed with facts, not just accusations like Hannity.

Again, I disagree about Maddow. Maddow has been a pain in the butt to Trump with all the revelations she's come up with.
 
Crass Egomanical Cowards

And Hannity has all kinds of facts about the deep state conspiracy. What neither of them have is results for all their conspiracy talk.

See, you try to disagree with people...and you're terrible at it.

Maddow: Degree in Public Policy from Stanford. That's right Lovebug..public policy, you know that thing that has something to do with that government thing? Yeah, that thing.
Rhodes Scholar, Doctorate in Philosophy at Oxford - you know...has to do with reason, knowledge, where we get information, differentiating true from false, that sorta thing.
Emmy Award winning show.
Maddow's show details issues using reasons, evidence, citations, and credible guests with credible backgrounds. Typically examines a few topics, often doing deep analysis from multiple, credible news sources.

Hannity: A college drop-out who lost his first job bashing gays. Found Fox lets him do that and viewers love it.
Entertains low information people without any real clue about politics or policy or news, peddling mostly in CT and pure partisan nonsense. Like WWF of fake news!

TOTALLY THE SAME!

Except Maddow has a Doctorate in Political Science from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and a Bachelors Degree in Public Policy from Stanford. And she actually does real research.

And Hannity barely got through HS.
 
We have an AG who believes the previous administration may have spied on a campaign and is investigating it because of the evidence that he has been privy to and we are not. If there was no there there Barr would not have appointed Durham who is known for his work in government corruption to investigate. We did not learn about Durham until he had been working on the case for a couple of months.

We have an IG that was told to investigate if the FISA warrants were obtained legally that allowed the FBI and other intel agencies the potential to
go in the back door and spy on a number of members of Trump's campaign, family members, transition team . It was suppose to be released in July but was postponed because those who refused to co-operate with Horowitz for some reason decided to at the last minute.

We had an excessive number of classified info in regard to Trump his administration etc leaked to the press and those leaks had to come from those in the intel agencies. Horowitz was directed to investigate the leaks.

During the Obama administration and after with holdovers, there were an excessive number of unmaskings related to the Trump campaign and transition team clear into the first months of his presidency in the intel communities .

Since this all began there have been several persons at the FBI and DOJ in the upper echelon have been fired, forced to retire or were demoted.

Most recently Bruce Ohr's 302's have been released through a FOIA by Judicial Watch and they are so damning as they torch the original timeline of events Comey's FBI 7th floor buddies claimed from the beginning among other things. You can read them for yourself as they are online. It ain't pretty.

Catherine Herridge at FOX has been following all of this with every document that is made public.

For those of you who whine that it has been 2 years into this, the wheels of justice grind slowly for good reason.

If you don't like Hannity don't watch him. If you don't like Rush Limbaugh don't listen to him.

Opinions, some like them, others don't. I don't listen to either, so it matters not.

That's how you justify willful ignorance by confusing knowledge vs opinions? That's the new thing from the right nutters isn't it? How do we justify watching the worst idiots and fake news and CT and lies? Well, let's call everything "opinion", and just claim both sides have opinions! Brilliant!

Or stupid.

Interesting spin on the "appeal to authority" logical fallacy. College degrees in soft subjects like "public policy" just mean the recipient was able to disgorge the wackadoodle BS that was fed to him/hear for four years satisfactorily.

Here comes the white knight, riding a braying donkey and falling off during his pathetic charge. You don't even know what appeal to authority is apparently.

No Bullseye, Maddow and Hannity have factually different education backgrounds, and show formats. by citing those factual differences, that's called providing evidence to back the claim.
Maddow is highly educated in the fields her show revolves around. Hannity is not, it's CT entertainment from a college drop out.

They are in fact, quite different.
If I claimed something and then cited "Maddow" as an authority for why it was correct, that may be an appeal to authority. That's not he case here.

Try harder.

Mad cow Maddow is on the same level as Hannity: over the top, absurd and full of BS.
