How Fox’s Sean Hannity has downplayed the coronavirus pandemic in America

Hannitys name is mentioned right in the title of this thread. If you want to discuss something else, start your own thread.

You are right, Hannity's name is mentioned right in the title of this thread,

Now....showing a double standard to Hannity (see I kept it relevant) is the Daily Show.......apparently....I just find it laughable that when presented with an actual debate, you have zero interest, and turtle like a coward.

Please tell me how me saying that someone should be sued if they are causing harm and death to others is 'vengeful'? People are rightfully sued for a hell of a lot less.

What you said is that they should be "sue[d] ...so much they have nothing left and have to live in the streets. And even that would be too good for them."

So what is worse than being homeless? Dying? :roll:

Why would you wish for anyone to be homeless and think that they deserve worse? THIS is why I asked you "Why so vengeful?" :roll:

The conservative tactic of never defend, always attack doesn't really work on me.

I mentioned Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.. Lets discuss them... If not, then lets discuss baseball.

I'm not conservative either.
I have no problem with the criticism of Fox, Hannity, Limbaugh et al, so there's not a debatable issue. My problem is with the hypocrisy of those who criticize one side while giving the other side a pass.

Again. Hannitys name is right in the title. That's what I was addressing. If someone wants to start other threads about other people, so be it..

But as I said. Hannity and Fox have Trump's ear. And advise him often. Comparing a comedian to what's going on between Trump and Hannity/Fox is comparing apples to oranges..

What? Are you SERIOUS? Their lies and disinformation could be causing people to DIE and you don't think the liars like Hannity should held accountable and suffer too? My God!!!

Yeah. It's nuts.

Personal responsibility my ass.
 
SenorXm/Sirius said:
The difference is Trump promotes, listens to, and pretty much governs by what he hears and sees on Fox. He gave Limbaugh a medal.. He admits to often talk to Hannity on the phone for advice.. He watches and calls into Fox and Friends all the time... There's NO doubt about ANY of that, he doesn't even try to hide it. And because of all that there's probably people who believe Fox because their president believes them, and takes advice from them..

At no time has anyone governed by what was said on the "daily show'..

Yup...
 
How many times has Fox News required it's reporters and pundits to retract false statements? Unlike the "Lamestream Librul Media", it seems to me that very few, I can't recall any, on the right ever publically admit they were wrong in past claims. They either ignore or deny, a favourite tactic of the president, erroneous statements they have made.

From the Attkisson hit piece --
New York Times attorneys recently required the newspaper to make at least three revisions in one Peters article that mentioned this author. They also removed a paragraph and added a correction.

You're quoting the Bible to me after YOU excused and defended the possibility some liars on Fox might be causing some people to die?

Yeah, you and Tucker deserve each other..

Have a nice day.

We don't debate Christians in the traditional sense of the word.

They are Jerry Falwell Jr Christians. $$$$$. Jesus probably weeps.

You only say that because you dont review what the left was saying about the pandemic and how it has evolved over the past 4 months.

Do tell ...... How has the "left" evolved on the pandemic. More importantly, who was closer to being right?

The Liberal Media's Coronavirus Double Standard
Sharyl Attkisson, Just the News

A video entitled “Heroes of the Pandumbic” was posted Friday by the Comedy Central program “The Daily Show.” In less than 24 hours, it had racked up millions of views.
The video mocks conservative personalties and Trump administration officials, primarily those appearing on Fox News. A montage of brief clips implies these figures have uniquely missed the mark on coronavirus dangers, downplaying or denying the pandemic.
But a review of three months of public comments by public health officials, news personalities and liberal figures show they made similar comments as those skewered by The Daily Show video but have escaped similar critique. . . .

Really shouldn't rely on Ms Attkisson's 'reporting' You might wish to check the dates on some of the quotes she supplies - like Limbaugh calling the virus "no worse than the common cold" but of course that's no the quote she supplies.

Doesn't matter. The point is not what Limbaugh et al said, but what others also said.

NO. The point is that 1) Sean Hannity said some stupid stuff 2) The "Daily Show" posted a video of conservatives saying stupid words and then in some cases denying what was "on the tape" and 3) Sheryl Attkisson mixed together headlines and quotes out of context without providing the dates of said quotes.
