Hannity: ‘I Don’t Vet The Information On This Program That I Give Out’

Fox News host Sean Hannity, one of President Donald Trump’s top conservative media allies, made an eyebrow-raising admission on Monday night as he was ranting about “the media mob” being “nothing more than a glorified overpaid wing of the Democratic Party.”

Don’t worry, meathead, nobody with a brain stem thought you vetted the information you spew out.

…I don’t vet the information rumors and lies on this program that I give out,” Hannity said.

FIFY, asshole.

“I’m not a professional journalist. Repeating rumors from social media is good enough for me. Standards of confirmation and verification are for liberals. Long live our Great Leader.”

It is said that when someone misspeaks, it is generally the unvarnished truth.

That’s absolutely the case here. He’s revealed himself as a fraud - not that any of his listeners would notice.

How I hope that part of the State investigations come after Hannity next year.

No one outside his bubble buys this. No one inside his bubble cares one way or another. Why even say this?

And, why report it?

Well, probably because it reduces the space TPM has to give to Biden?

There are no stories with Biden’s name or Harris’s name on the front page. Still all consumed with Trump.

Gee, really Sean? I mean, whoda thunk it, since every story and report on your show has been dripping with truth? Why, I haven’t been this shocked since someone suggested to me that Lindsey Graham might be in the closet, or that Donald Trump lies, or that Matt Gaetz and Louie Gohmert have the combined IQ of Michele Bachmann, or that…

I don’t know what these folks are going to do with themselves after January 2021. They just won’t have any story ideas.

Unless of course they’re going to be the news source for the shadow administration led by Trump?

Someone gave him a “Journalist’s Word of the Day Calendar” and today’s word was vet.
Here’s hoping that someone gives him a “Journalistic Ethics Calendar” for next year.

True yesterday, true today, true forever:

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
