Hannity: ‘I Don’t Claim to Be a Journalist,’ But My Show is More Like ‘The Whole Newspaper’

During his opening monologue on Wednesday night, Sean Hannity reiterated his longstanding claim that he is not a journalist. But he also argued that his show is as comprehensive as…well…we’ll let him tell you:

“I don’t claim to be a journalist. We do journalism, [but] what we say about being a talk show host — we’re like the whole newspaper.”

The whole newspaper. Yes, go ahead and put down that New York Times. Hannity’s got you covered. Here’s his reasoning:

“We do straight news when there’s a war, straight news on weather, straight news on important [incidents] that are happening, like Ferguson when that was happening, or Baltimore. And then we give a lot of opinion. So [we’ve got] the news page, editorial page, the opinion page. We even do gossip and sports — like tonight, for example, Tim Tebow is on. So we’re like the whole newspaper. That’s what we do.”

Yep. That’s what he does…

1. But that newspaper...

smells like the one that had the fish wrapped in it for a few days.

2. References to Ferguson and Baltimore

That's Hannity. He throws these in clearly pandering to racists.

3. I think the word you're looking for, Sean, is propagandist.

5. Hannity's show is more like the National Inquirer.

A pack of lies on the tabloid scale.

No wonder Rachel Maddow is getting more viewers than Hannity. She keeps on the issues a d has the experts back her up.

6. " But My Show is More Like 'The Whole Newspaper at the bottom of a birdcage."

There... fixed it.

7. Forgot to include that his "newspaper" is one that anyone with any integrity or

a moral code would work for.

8. Geez, this

POS has got to go too. Spewing lies just like trump.

9. We're the whole newspaper, including: KKK, neo-nazis, white supremacists, end-times whack jobs..."

and the disgruntled cranks who hate anyone who’s not white.”

That’s one big, fat, right-wing “newspaper,” all right.
