Sean Hannity melts down in humiliation after conservative group rescinds his ‘Media Excellence’ award

Sean Hannity was set to receive the William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence this week from the right-wing Media Research Center — before, that is, William F. Buckley’s son personally intervened to stop it.

As CNN’s Jake Tapper reports, author Christopher Buckley “expressed great dismay” that Hannity would be receiving an award named after his father, and he successfully lobbied the Media Research Center to pull it.

Even more embarrassing for Hannity is the revelation in Tapper’s report that the MRC tried to work out a way for Hannity to save face by claiming that a scheduling conflict prevented him from attending this year’s awards ceremony.

Upon seeing the story pop up on CNN, Hannity took to Twitter to unleash an angry tirade against Tapper for reporting this humiliating turn of events.

Hannity then went on to proclaim that “‘awards’ are BS” and that “the only ‘Award’ I care about is serving my audience, the support of my audience, and saving the USA.”

4. Sounds like someone has a case of the mondays!

[SummerSnow]

5. maybe you are not conservative enough .lol

[DFW]

6. When he was a kid, Hannity had a dog with very peculiar dietary habits

All the dog would eat was little Sean's homework.

[oasis]

8. "Sour Grapes" Sean Hannity.

[gratuitous]

16. The very definition of the term

"Oh boy! Such prestigious recognition, all for me. What? It was rescinded? I didn't want your dumb old award anyway."

[SweetieD]

9. He is not a journalist. And has said so himself. I don't know why be was even up for

consideration. I was no fan of Buckley but at least Buckley was a serious person and was educated.

[lostnfound]

13. What a conundrum. To be a serious media person today yet conservative enough for a Buckley award...

Must be statistically zero.

[Paladin]

10. Well done, Christopher Buckley.

Eat shit, Hannity. Now and forever more.

[workinclasszero]

11. Aww poor Sean

x1000000

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Everybody knows that Hannity is a trash person

He's real garbage - not respected in conservative circles, where anybody with a brain views him as an ignorant, bottom-feeding demagogue and total shitbag.

And he knows it.

You should hear how they talk after he leaves a restaurant! There goes Hannity, a real fucking bounder and piece of garbage.



On can only imagine the disdain William F. Buckley would have had for him.

[Gothmog]

15. I am glad that Chris Buckley objected

[NastyRiffraff]

17. "Saving the USA"

That's a joke, right? How about saving us all from Hannity and Fox.

[elmac]

18. Hannity, making Russia great again, nt

[LudwigPastorius]

19. Biomechanical Hannity's sour grapes circuit seems to have kicked in!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Is it sad that I know exactly where that's from? Nt

[LudwigPastorius]

31. The classics never die. n/t

[flibbitygiblets]

20. Well, there's still "Dick of the Week" award, but he'll have to share it with Coulter

[Marcuse]

21. I wondered what they had against Hannity, so I read the article.

"If we have reached the point where rank-and-file conservatives see nothing amiss with giving Hannity an award named for Buckley, then surely there's a Milton Friedman Prize awaiting Steve Bannon for his insights on free trade," (New York Times conservative columnist Bret) Stephens wrote. "The floor's the limit. Or, in Hannity's case, the crawl space beneath it."


Well, alright then.

[Volaris]

24. Damn.

Thems fightin' werds lol.

[H2O Man]

22. Obviously, he doesn't care .....

that's why he can't stop whining about it.

Recommended.

[Sunlei]

23. all Republican tax free "charities" make up fake awards for their fake journalists & lie-media.

[Permanut]

25. Maybe he'll get a Peabody award..

Like Bill O'Reilly. Oh wait, never mind.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Hannity should not have a penny from his job, in that what he does is a lie.

Wish he was homeless.

[klook]

27. "I wouldn't be a Freemason now if they got down on their lousy stinking knees and begged me."

(See The Architect Sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus.)

[Skittles]

29. he is so fucking pathetic

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Look at the Times On Those Tweets

The award wasn't pulled, then 7 minutes later it was pulled because Buckley's son is a jerk and then 15 minutes later he never wanted the award anyway.

The term meltdown was appropriately used in this case.
