Ok, so let's say Hannity does a segment where he talks about the latest data breach at (let's pretend), Walmart. Everyone that shopped at Walmart in the past two years has had their credit card information stolen. And then he talks about "Now is the time where everyone really needs to consider getting 24/7 credit monitoring. If you don't have credit monitoring, you are a fool!"

But he doesn't disclose that he is a 25% stakeholder in the three biggest credit monitoring companies.

Ultimately he is finding a way to separate you from your money for his own financial gain.

I guess you'd be ok with him not disclosing that?

You simply shouldn't listen someone's opinion on a matter when they aren't disclosing to you that they stand to benefit from convincing you to believe their argument.

How's this? If you were going to buy a refrigerator right now at Best Buy, would you read the review from Frigidaire about their Frigidaire product? No, it would be biased. That's the point.

Payoffs happen every day to avoid years of costly litigation and stress on family. They are no indication of guilt. You know as well as I do that there are people who seek financial gain by accusations against people with celebrity status whom they may have chanced to have met under some circumstances.

I'm betting, though, that you don't think Bill Clinton is guilty of any rape, or sexual misconduct.

It is if one is a conservative. It wouldn't be for any Leftist.

Are you capable of making a point without deflecting and assuming other people's stances on unrelated matters?

Yep. Just as President Trump's ratings go up the more they bash him.

Would you use that characterization to describe what Fox News does as a whole?
I would.

That company invented the business model. 'Opinion' does not have to be true, the person expressing the 'opinion' does not even have to believe it themselves ... it just has to grab and hold your attention.

Roger Ailes was the advisor who encouraged Reagan to abandon the fairness Doctrine, then he set up Fox News to take advantage of it. He (and Fox) was way ahead of the curve and invented the genre, basically propagandizing. Ailes wrote the book "You are the Message: Getting what you want by being who you are''.

"Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox"

What show is this that's getting the ratings? Is he still a reality TV host?

Will Fox step up and fire or punish Hannity?
OMG....if using an attorney for legal advice doesn't get one fired, nothing will

But, Sean said he has no business relationship with him.

You only get to claim attorney-client privilege if you're a client.

You poor poor souls.

You guys are gripping really hard, aren't you?



What exactly did Sean Hannity do with Cohen? Go back to your Mainstream media and find out what you're supposed to say here.

Since when did consulting with a lawyer become grounds cor becoming "toxic waste"?

Here, let me do your work for you...
"Truth tellers?"

Cohen says that Hannity is his client. As in signed a contract, paid money, etc.
Hannity says that he is not.

Why would Cohen say that Hannity is a client with all that implies if it isn't true, particularly in a court of law?

Someone is clearly lying here and I've got a pretty good suspicion that it isn't Cohen.

If a contract is produced, will you still regard Hannity as a "truth teller?"
