Sean Hannity Gets A Brutal Reality Check On Live TV

Sean Hannity on Thursday night was forced to backtrack on his own show as Fox Newsconfirmed a New York Times report he had just attacked.

Earlier in his show, Hannity blasted a report that said President Donald Trump had tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller last year and accused the Times of “trying to distract you.”

“Our sources, and I’ve checked in with many of them, they’re not confirming that tonight,” he said. “And how many times has the New York Times and others gotten it wrong?”

By the end of the show, he was forced to admit that Fox News had confirmed the Times report.

The NY Times is trying to distract with this story... oh, it's real. Hey everyone, look at this car accident!

Sean Hannity is an embarrassment to conservative media.

Typical spin from the left. Mueller, Comey, and a host of others are the corrupt ones. They are investigating Trump using false evidence. They conspired to shield Clinton from indictment hoping it would all go away once she won. She didn't. They and others are in trouble. So far, the mainstream press is shielding them though.

Hannity is perhaps the most ensconced in Conservative bizarro world of all the Fox talking heads

"Mueller is a great selection. Impeccable credentials. Should be widely accepted."

"I commend (Department of Justice) for bringing in an independent voice to help bring clarity to this situation."

"The addition of Robert Mueller as special counsel is consistent with this goal, and I welcome his role at the Department of Justice."

"A well respected and trusted veteran of the FBI"

"Former FBI dir. Mueller is well qualified to oversee this probe."

"Bob Mueller is a Republican who was appointed by a Republican who served in the Republican administration who crossed over and stayed on 'til his term ended. I don't think many people are saying Bob Mueller is a biased partisan. He's really, sort of, anything but."

"A great choice for special counsel."

"A man of the utmost integrity."

"Somebody we all trust."

"Sterling credentials and is above reproach."

All of those statements are from Republican Congresspeople.

Well, see, you already lost by spending time watching him.

We'll have to wait for the next move of the Russian bots...

he is pretty representative of right wing media.
actual conservative media is few and far between.

and i'm sure you have evidence of any of this actually happening... oh wait never mind you don't.
there is however tons of evidence around that from the moment a special prosecutor was appointed the right wing went into attack mode in order to discredit it.

It's hard to know who's correct if we just go by a HuffPost article. Alex Jones has more credibility than that silly publication which, if you remember, was so upset that Trump didn't crash and burn during the primaries that it went so far as to announce that it would spite him by not putting anything about him on the HuffPost news page at all.

It didn't stick to that promise, so it probably can't be accorded much credibility in this instance either.

Mueller was well regarded. His investigation has proceeded on the "evidence" of the dossier. He has shown himself to be a political hack.

if you think alex jones has more credibility than the huffington post you are in a seriously skewed bizarro world.

Actually, there is abundant evidence. The dossier used to investigate Trump was paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. It's pure propaganda. Hillary was never going to be indicted as the released FBI text messages now show.

It makes the point about just how bad the Huffington Post is, though, doesn't it?

Probably because there are no moderate conservatives according to the Left.

nope it makes the point of how far skewed your worldview is.

 

[mala]

That line is pretty blurry.

i would argue it is not.
rather there are people who are pretending to be conservative (attempting the blur the lines) that have nothing whatsoever to do with actually being one.

 

[Albion]

OK, then I'll simply state that it makes the point about just how bad the Huffington Post is.

you have yet to make that actual point with anything.

You must have missed a few posts, then.
