In the real world of journalism, not disclosing personal ties in your stories is a cardinal sin. We'll see how it's treated in Fox's bizarro-world of journalism.

Payoffs, extortion, payments to say good things about Trump?


Translation:

Hannity having the same lawyer as Trump being a "fireable offence" is just conjecture and wishfull thinking on the part of the Left.

That's all you got kids -- ATTACK THE LEFT!!!!!!!

No explanations, no rational, intelligent ability to discuss why Hannity and Cohen are so confused about their relationship -- lol.

When you can offer up a good spin -- can you head over to the sanction discussion and explain why Trump halted the sanctions. Don't tell me to avoid war -- that's just silly talk.
OK, please explain this to me. What difference does it make? Hannity is not a news anchor nor an elected public official. He's on TV giving his opinion, so what? What am I missing? He's not suppose to be unbiased.

#1 in nursing homes. His audience is compromised of 65+ years old white men...especially those in their 70s and 80s.

There shouldn't be any question on why he and tRump are best buds.

Birds of a feather and all that.

The omission raises questions about whether Hannity violated journalistic ethics — or whether he was a journalist at all. Hannity has shifted in recent years on that point. He has claimed his is not a journalist but other times he's claimed to be an "opinion journalist."

He said last month that his show “breaks news daily” in response to colleague Shep Smith characterizing Fox News’ prime-time lineup as entertainment.

He is a huckster and a fraud. Any network interested in ethical behavior would fire him. But Faux News runs on a different standard. I am ok with whatever the top execs at Faux News decides. Their call, not mine.

The most troublesome aspect of all this is how many people listen to and believe the huckster Hannity. A poor reflection on a large swath of our country

Nailed it. It's a sad state of affairs just how people willful believe what he says, but it's a reflection on how humans don't like to be proved wrong. His tells his audience exactly what they want to hear, which are a bunch of racists and bigots.

Yeah, if that lawyer wasn't in the middle of the investigation that Hannity rants about ad nauseam then you'd have a point. He is in fact in the middle of the whole sordid mess, so your point is mute.

Again -- you aren't reading what I'm putting. I don't care if Hannity lied. I don't care if Cohen lied. I do find it interesting that one of them lied. I'm dying to know the true story.

If you don't want to -- what do you care if I think there is a story.

And this....Hannity has been barking about this case...and then is in the middle of it...lol.

It's very entertaining and curious.

Didn't mean to step on your toes. I was just curious what the big deal is.
