In journalism, failure to disclose such a severe conflict of interest is considered to be in bad form.

There's no charge involved. The judge ordered a bit of daylight into the shady doings of Mr. Cohen.

Those sunbeams are illuminating the name Sean Hannity

Undisclosed conflict of interest. That would matter to most organizations with the word "News" in their name.

You're right that he's not a journalist, he just plays one on TV, but it's obviously bad for "journalists" to use their podium to try to discredit investigations into their own lawyer for self benefit.

A massive conflict of interest.

Hannity never disclosed his [business] association with Trump lawyer Michael "The Fixer" Cohen.

A BIGLY embarrassment for FOX.

Extremely basic ethics that don't need to be explained. If you disagree, then you disagree with extremely basic ethics.

On a purely practical level, he has precisely zero credibility as a pundit for an organization that claims to be a news agency. This dilemma is addressed by the fact that Fox isn't a credible news agency.

"Embattled Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s mysterious third client was revealed Monday as Fox News host Sean Hannity."

Nothing surprises me anymore, but this little nugget is very juicy. Cohen's attorneys argued with the judge for more than half an hour trying to avoid saying Hannity's name out loud.

If two of the three Cohen clients were involved in hush money payments...it stands to reason that the third client likely is as well.

It begs the question...who did Cohen "fix" for Hannity?

Flipping a switch from "News Hour" to "Bull**** Time" doesn't make for a strong defense.

Hannity claims no third party was ever involved. Maybe, maybe not. But I wonder what they talked about. I agree with you that there is a logical assumption.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Cohen is a fixer, not a real lawyer. Hannity has the resources to hire a dozen top-tier actual lawyers.

Which begs the question: what blatantly-illegal bull**** did Hannity need a fixer for?
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

you know the best part? fox has to report on this and so trump has to watch the news of hannity's ties to cohen being revealed.

Why did Cohen not want this revealed? That is the question...

Solid point:

"Pause for a moment to reflect upon what one Sean Hannity might do with news that an MSNBC personality had hidden a relationship with a Clinton attorney under criminal investigation."

Fox News is going to be reporting about the mating habits of the Red Panda for the rest of the day.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

BAHAHAHHA

Sean Hannity, on his radio show:
"I've never traditionally retained Cohen, he's never represented me."

Just threw out any notion those communications might be privileged.

If he is entertainer, why is he on a news channel? Why is he not on the main Fox channel or FX? If Fox News is supposed to be a news channel, why does it have so many entertainers on it? It seems like Fox News is an entertainment channel, not a news channel.

Where did Hannity make that claim?

Why would Hannity, who can afford the best lawyers, need to hire a third rate "fixer" like Cohen?

Because he is a Trump supporter, and so picked the same lawyer. Trump supporting news fluffers aren't too smart. :mrgreen:
