No, FOX hierarchy probably already knew about his connection to Cohen and what Cohen was "fixing" for him. There are no ethical standards at FOX in recent history.

What?
It's hard to read any logic in-between all of the probablies and conjecture.
hate to break this to all the wakadoodle lefties here but Hannity has stated repeatedly over they last few years that Michael Cohen is a friend. That relationship has been public just as he has stated that he has been friends with Trump for years.
To the Left, being friends with their enemies requires a public hanging. Anyone who is a threat to them, whatsoever, is to be socially isolated and their associates guilty by association.
The only thing I see here is yet another attempt by the sneaky weasel democrats to take down a popular conservative talk show host. Hannity has been a prime target for the democratic mafia for years given that he has mass appeal.
Everyone seems hell-bent on silencing opposing viewpoints these days, even if it means outright lying, distortion of the truth, or exploiting the legal system in bizarre ways to accomplish the job. It's a sad state of affairs.
Can you name 1 Network today that is a pure news network that does not present slanted news?
There are none. Not CNN, not NBC, Not CBS, Not ABC. If these networks had actually done their job, Obama would not have been President and Hillary would never had the nomination or We would not have been in Iraq.
They are all like Fox. They all sell slanted programming to a select audience for a profit.

The problem with Hannity is that while he's theoretically upfront about being an entertainer, the format he chooses is to enthrall the listener with purported news, uncovered or newly discovered fact.
The curious might spend a few minutes to dissect a Hannity show on Youtube to see how he slides from suggestion to the probable to the actual. The process doesn't begin to reach the level of merely slanting or cherry-picking actual "facts."
How did Hannity put it in a tweet a while back: "I'm not a journalist jackass. I'm a talk host."
Here, he absolves himself of the need to attempt any kind of honesty but then at the same time subtly attacks those who do (journalists and their fake news, no doubt).
The Cohen non-disclosure makes a mockery even of Hannity's talk show "opinions" and more weakens the illusion - that, admit it, many viewers hold - that what they are hearing might be "truth."
At some point, if the shill-act becomes too transparent even his entertainment value will diminish and Fox will fire him.

Nope. Just requires disclosure. Why do you think he wanted to keep it secret? And do you think that was a good decision for Hannity?
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.
Lawyers are confidential.
The MSM has myriad staff with personal ties throughout the political world that are never, ever disclosed. And I'm not even referring to lawyers with confidential privilege. In fact, I've never in my life been privy to a single disclosure, for a TV personality, of the type that you are suggesting.
Everyone seems hell-bent on silencing opposing viewpoints, even if it means outright lying, distortion of the truth, or exploiting the legal system in strange ways to accomplish the job. It's a sad state of affairs.
I agree. Too bad Hannity couldn't rise above the MSM to which he is deemed superior.
Even Alan Dershowitz told Hannity to his face on the air yesterday, that Hannity was ethically required to disclose his relationship with Michael Cohen.
Will Fox step up and fire or punish Hannity?
Why would FOX fire SH???????
No basis. If revealed, people would think he was in Trump's camp, if not revealed, people would think he is in Trump's camp.
If the left wing lib dems would apply their standards to themselves, they would be non existent.
