I don't understand all the uproar from the libs - you don't think your journalists - and I use that term mildly - don't have connections, stock ect..with items they promote? All of them will make money where ever money is to be made.

Besides which - do you think this "revelation" is going to change anyone's mind that watches Hannity - nope - because it's faux news to them - just like it's faux news when something comes out about someone from your political party. These releases are only meant to stir you up and keep you in line against that nasty opposition party. Please start thinking for yourself!

It does appear that legal opinion differs from yours. Even Dershowitz thought Hannity was wrong re a Cohen disclosure.

It will be interesting to read Murdoch's thoughts on this new disclosure.

Not knowing the difference is what is called a scam.
Believe me, willful ignorance is alive and well with the RWNJs. Started with Limbaugh and still continues to this day. This is what holds the cult together. Perfectly willing to ignore the fact that these guys could not care less about their listeners/viewers. They are skillful con men who will stop at nothing to further their careers, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Times are a-changing though. Millennials want nothing to do do with these hate filled old white men.

"Believe me,"

Why should we?

what have to said that makes you believable?

CERTAINLY NOT talk like this, "willful ignorance is alive and well with the RWNJs"

Does anyone notice how the libs like to attack successful people?

Note, they TRIED to do talk radio and BOMBED big time in comparison.

Even the DNC tried to prob Air America up with cash and STILL FAILED.

Yes, there are some successful lib talk radio shows but NOTHING in comparison to Rush and Hannity.

"Times are a-changing though. Millennials want nothing to do do with these hate filled old white men"

I guess you can back up your hate filled claim

"The total listenership for terrestrial radio as of January 2017 was 256 million,[3] up from 230 million in 2005.[4] Sirius XM Radio has a base of 30.6 million subscribers as of 2016.[5] American Top 40 attracts over 20 million listeners per week.[6] Rush Limbaugh's show has been the number one commercial talk show since at least 1987"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...radio_programs

There is only ONE progressive (liberal) show in the top 25andi t only gets about 6.4 million listeners to Rush, 14 million, and Hannity, 13.5 million.

8 other Conservative shows are in the top 25.

Who can believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The man's a tool.



Fox News' Sean Hannity secretly owns part of a company he promotes | Daily Mail Online
Do you honestly think the viewers really give a rat's A@@ about this? Only the Hannity haters or the FOX haters will pay any attention. Should he have disclosed this? Maybe, but there is still nothing here. Why can't we all stop searching for dirt anyplace we can find it and when will people learn not to depend on on line blogs for their information?

What We Know About Sean Hannity's Shell Companies and Why It Matters | Fortune
Analysis of some business interests Hannity has

Just because someone has a popular media show doesn't mean he is credible or accurate in his message
It just means people like him
Maybe he tells them what they want to hear
But he doesnt operate in a vacuum
Being on a public platform (not a subscription service) means he does have rules governing his behavior
We know this government ignores rules it doesn't like to enrich its members
Just like drivers run red lights or speed or drive under the influence
Because they get away with any incidents doesnt mean it's legal or safe for themselves or others

Just don't be hypocrits about judging behavior and setting standards that are unequal
That is the one way Trump supporters could gain so much credibility
Just stop the double standard

Just stop it.

In your eyes, Trump supporters would never, ever have any credibility no matter what they did. Please stop the lectures.

Libs are the ones with no credibility... Russia, Russia, Stormy, Impeach

As much as I dislike Sean Hannity...the guy is a private citizen and does private business affairs, such as buying foreclosed homes. This isn't groundbreaking news. Let's focus on other things like how to get the Democrats back on track to win again.

Any intelligent investor would want to know if someone shilling for a company had a stake in it. Ever hear of "pump and dump"?
