No sense in comparing him to news if the latter. If the former, his failure to disclose his relationship to Cohen is deeply unethical.
FOX’s own Shepard Smith pretty much answered this question. He said Hannity has no rules.

Hannity carries on a long TV news tradition of loud-mouthed conservatives with limited, circular reasoning built around a quasi-religious ideology.

I don't know why y'all are proud of this. This guy promotes mass stupidity. What happened to people like William F. Buckley?

I don't watch Hannity because I consider him and opinion guy and he's just too radical for me. I really don't enjoy watching that kind of thing on TV.

Regular Fox news is the most unbiased, even though they do lean right. But they always make sure to have both points of view. I really like the Fox liberal/Democratic personalities. Juan is great, the look of pain on his face when he listens to some of the stuff on Fox...stuff even I agree with Juan on his hilarious.

Buckley died before the racist Dems decided they had no interest in supporting citizens who they couldn't get to vote for them and importing a new voter base became their goal. Good question !!!

What's worse is the big money demographic of youth watching Fox blew away the other stations. So much for the Lib argument that it's only a bunch of old men watching Fox.

I prefer Tucker Carlson to all of them. Hannity's ego and personality bugs me too much, but he does get stuff exposed no one else is willing to stay with.

Steve Hilton's FOX show, The Next Revolution, on Sunday nights is really good and different -- he is very fair and balanced especially doing Swamp Watch (lots of swampy Rs not just Dems) and has a good balanced panel on usually.

Kennedy on FOX business is extraordinarily bright and with it for younger folks, but on her show she acts really ridiculous and never acts like that when she is interviewed or on other shows. She is so bright, articulate, and interesting, I wish she'd cut out the silliness and just be her extremely intelligent self.

"Liberal" Media total day 553
Faux 362

"Liberal" Media total prime 883
Faux 595

Hannity 'fans' don't like the truth that they seriously outnumbered, so will find ways to cherry pick stats that make it appear they are in the majority.

Personally, I don't put much value in the ratings. Most of society doesn't have that much interest in the network news. I listened to hannity years ago, and came to the conclusion that his views are usually biased and rancid.
