The Fox News host yelled a lot and then ended the interview early

Fox News host Sean Hannity placates his elderly, close-minded viewers by letting them live vicariously through him as he scolds a black protester. On Monday evening, Hannity interviewed Adam J. Jackson, CEO of Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle and a nonviolent protester in Baltimore.

“Is this the type of protest you want to be a part of?” Hannity asked.

“First and foremost, I’m not going to talk about the violence that people are talking about,” Jackson replied. “This is a response to the violence of the Baltimore City Police Department. People talking about fires burning in Baltimore, there’s been fires burning of mass incarceration, racist policing practices, so this is an outgrowth of that.” Jackson is referring to the protests that have plagued Baltimore for the past few days in response to the unexplained death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray while he was in police custody.

“Isn’t this a minority-run city in terms of its politics?” Hannity responded. “You said racism but this is a majority minority police department and you’re calling the black officers in Baltimore racist?”

“We’re not talking about individual people who are racist,” Jackson said. “I’m talking about the elite class and politicians in Baltimore. More people like Martin O’Malley who have legally arrested 757,000 black people–”

“Martin O’Malley is out of office– he’s not in office anymore.”

“The genealogy of this very problem in Baltimore starts with people like him, the mayor, these laws and public policy,” Jackson responded.

1. Saw their Kelly girl continually interrupt another guy so Mark Fuhrman could speak

2. Mark Furhrman is on Fox??

Please tell me that's bullshit.

[Fred Sanders]

3. Paid, irregular contributor.....what, you think they only paid off Palin and Huckabee and Dr. Ablow?

Fox has a huge stable of bigots, racists, and corporatists waiting for The Call.

5. This tragic episode has been an eye opener for me. I feel like a naive jackass.

I have been posting at Discussionist alongside the knuckledraggers over there. When Baltimore started unraveling, these rightwing assholes dropped the dog whistles and went all-in, racist cracker bullshit. I had not witnessed anything like this in person for over 30 years. It reminded me of my great grandfather.

And to hear that Fox has Fuhrman with a live mic in front of his sorry bigoted mouth.

4. Oh yeah has been since Ferguson

He does his spots from a wood paneled/decorated room with the shades drawn giving him a pleasant soft back lighting.

If you thinks it's crazy to give such details you should see it - totally stagecrafted.

Didn't catch the other guy's name (he was barely allowed to speak) as it was Kelly blah blah blah then Fuhrman really long blah blah then the other guy | Kelly interrupts after maybe 10 seconds "Let's get to Mark Fuhrman's point" back to Fuhrman.
