Conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity, usually a reliable mouthpiece for President Donald Trump, took a rare stance at odds with Trump on the issue of wearing masks amid COVID-19 on Tuesday night.
“He then urged viewers to wear masks,…”
Must have suffered a blow to the head recently, he’s not himself.
This cannot be stressed enough: FUCK. HANNITY.
Do not give this man any credit or airtime pretending he’s redeemable. He’s not. He’s is literally one of the single worst people walking this planet and deserves whatever misery and suffering karma can be convinced to shower upon him.
This article should not exist.
This is how they get you. They make it about the masks and then demand that everyone go about normal life and quit staying at home. And then the virus spreads anyway, because nobody’s running around sporting an N95 mask and office building HVACs are distributing it like manure spreaders. But by then we’ll have no recourse in the argument because we went along with it, eager to have our victory over getting them all to mask themselves. “As long as there’s masking, we should be open.” Concede that and we’re toast. It diverts all of the argument away from the true prerequisite for opening back up: testing.
To respect others, we should wear masks assuming we have and could possibly transmit the virus to others. There is one more thing we could assume, i.e. that Donald Trump is a stupid, self-serving fool.
I wonder which of Hannity’s relatives and/or friends contracted the virus.
Trump is bored and out of control. We’re in for a long season of madness as his need for attention gnaws ever more deeply at him. He’s terribly jealous of the virus for stealing his place in the limelight.
Would have to be one of the very few who haven’t disowned him by now, I would assume.
Hannity is in a bit of a ratings war with fellow Fox-hole Tucker Carlson. When their older viewers started trusting Carlson more than Hannity with the remainder of their lives, his ratings climbed higher, while Hannity’s sank.
That is the only reason for his temporary return to “sanity.” I’m sure before this “righteous” little speech of his, he made sure to call Hair Furor, to give him his usual wink and a nod (and to get his permission).
Mr. Carlson leaped ahead of Mr. Hannity after a period when the hosts covered the pandemic in notably different tones. While Mr. Hannity initially treated the disease with some skepticism — “Pandemics happen, time to time,” [he told viewers in March]
— Mr. Carlson issued grave warnings about its severity. More recently, both anchors have expressed concern on the air about the lockdowns mandated by state governments, asking if Americans’ civil liberties have been unnecessarily violated.
Broken clock, yada yada yada. Or in Hannity’s case, broken calendar, right once every five or six years.
Fox’s lawyers are shitting bricks. They are peddling lies, and those lies are getting viewers, and those they infect killed. And more and more pollsters are associating Fox and misinformation, and these type of survey’s are the building blocks for lawsuits.
Linked to that problem is that not just the “npr tote bag set” but seniors are very concerned by Covid-19, and seniors are fox’s viewers. If you are not in the market for pre-lubed catheters you have no reason to be watching Sean madhattery. They don’t like this one bit, and can over time put what Fox is calling for - guys with guns trying to force open the economy and flaunting social distancing and masks - things that endanger the public, and their own well being into context. And Fox knows this is really dangerous to their ratings in the end.
So hannity and the am bimbos have been told to shut the fuck up and stop peddling division on masks and social distancing.
Sorry LUMPY, you ring-leadered this Day of the Locusts.
You ain’t riding that whirlwind, LUMPY. You created that whirlwind.
Them locusta will not, repeat- WILL NOT, even hear you.
From the article:
“When I see what’s happening in the Ozarks, when I see what’s happening in other places like that video you just showed it ruins it for everyone,” Brian replied. “It destroys my argument that we are reacting responsibly as a country.”
He continued, "When I see that video I’m saying to myself, ‘How am I gonna go out and trumpet the responsibility of the American people to go ahead and stand up for our economy when I see that?'”
Simple: You can’t. You were wrong. People did exactly what many of us predicted that a lot of the spoiled (“you’re not the boss of me”) babies of this country would do. They are the reason we need strong, enforceable guidelines. It’s not to take away their freedoms. It’s to prevent them from doing stupid shit that will take away people’s health and lives.
Will Kilmeade learn the lesson from this? I doubt it.
Hannity probably wants to make sure Trump doesn’t lose too many voters in November, but since there’s no cure for stupid, a lot of them are going to find out the hard way just how much “fun” it is to party with Covid-19.
Even Fox is beginning to realize that encouraging your gullible audience to go out and get themselves sick and dead – not to mention help get other people sick and dead – is not a good look.
I’ve no doubt the front office has also sent out the memo on legal implications.
Everything every Stu Pidasso smears as politically correct, is really just basic common sense and courtesy.
They’re hoping to make mask-wearing a panacea so they can force everybody to go back to the meat-packing plant. Boom, problem solved.
Holy sh*t…I may have to reconsider my support for masks if Hannity is in agreement.
Very true. I suspect Hannity’s goal is simply to sow confusion to the masses, making them solely dependent on a person, rather than the truth. If no one can identify what’s true and not true, why listen to the media at all?! Better to trust only the words of The Chosen One, Dotard t rumpp. This is a campaign tactic.
One of the great national outrages should be that authentic, validated surgical masks are still unavailable. I’m all for rationing them to health care workers during a shortage but the shortage should be over two.months ago. This is directly The Rump’s fault for failure to mobilize.
