Baltimore Sun TV Reporter takes down Sean Hannity

Best expose of Hannity I've read in a long time and it came from David Zurawik, of all people.

Sean Hannity on Israel: A barometer on how silly, lost and shameless cable 'news' has become

Only in Bizarro World could this clown dare to question NBC and CNN Gaza reporting

I only have 2 million other better things to write about. But after 24 hours of waiting for someone else to unload on Sean Hannity, the Fox News host who defines political stooge, I have to say something.

I held off when this GOP tool ran around on the Texas border in sunglasses and a baseball hat on backwards with Gov. Rick Perry.

I even ignored the picture Hannity tweeted of him with his arm over a machine gun as he posed in a boat on the Rio Grande alongside Perry -- who we now know is really an intellectual giant because he has glasses with thick rims.

Fox labeled what Hannity was doing -- mainly following Perry around like a puppy dog -- an "investigation." Only in Bizarro World.

3. K&R!!! About damn time someone laid bare what shithole Hannity spews!

I am sure it's been done before, but damn that was good! To bad the RW is so brain washed they will never know because they only watch Fox and listen to RW talk radio.

They don't hear about another Congressional Committee's report about Benghazi being much ado about nothing. They wouldn't believe it if they did. Fox has been silent about it. It still amazes me that people would rather believe all of that negative crap than to open their eyes to the truth. Hannity is so transparently bad.

Russell Brand broke down a so called interview Hannity did with a Israeli pundit and a Palestinian Representative, it's worth watching. Hannity starts off pointing his finger and yelling at the Palestinian trying to get him to admit that Hamas was a terrorist organization. He refused to let the man speak, however the Israeli had no problem making his talking points. I am sure the viewers were left with the impression Hannity wanted without realizing, or even caring about whether it was fair and not even an interview. It was an inquisition. It really pisses me off that a low life like Hannity makes millions as a Republican/corporate stooge. He sold out big time!

Hannity reminds me of the reporter, played by Robert Downey, Jr., in the movie Natural Born Killers. He wallows in the gutter, no wait, the sewer, throwing shit all over us! Fu€k you Sean!

15. He is such a fraud

but the real problem is those poor souls whose only source of news is the self-described "fair and balanced" fox news.

Everyone knows you can't give yourself a nickname.

At least the Baltimore Sun knows where anything having to do with fox news belongs. It certainly doesn't represent news.

You weren't one of them, Sean. You weren't even close. You were and are a ridiculous, self-promoting, hustler of a TV "personality" trying to generate a little buzz for your show.

So, really, and I mean this in the most constructive way: Shut up about CNN, CBS and NBC News. And go back to doing your silly propaganda five nights a week for Fox News and the Republican Party.

I could go on and list at least a half dozen other reporters who showed bravery and did great journalism in Israel and Gaza the last month.

16. Sean Hannity is a thin-skinned...

...wuss who can only operate within the tightly controlled confines of his show. This buffoon would wet himself in a real discussion or debate. You'll never hear or see this guy having a real discussion. His microphone is his pacifier and his controlled, staged show format is his blankey.

I listen sometimes, because he's the biggest insecure head case. He's a one-man circus of buffoonery.

20. That's why the RW stranglehold is so tight.

Neither the FauxNews squawking heads nor their devotees have to operate outside the RW Bubble. Any data from sources beyond the DumbDome bounces off the patented Fair 'N' Balanced ForceField.

17. Hannity is a goomba, that is, one who could never make a legitimate living.

If he could not spew hate, he would be a low level thug for the mob.

18. Kicked and recommended! But, the non-Fox media is also not worth a fuck.

Really.

Hannity should be excoriated by every news commentator for days on end.

It is time to demand that this false reporting come to an end. Like that will happen.
