Hannity Tears Into Media Matters For Pressuring Advertisers to Pull Ads From His Show: Liberal Fascismby Ken Meyer | 10:46 pm, November 13th, 2017
Sean Hannity opened his show tonight with a full-scale tear against Media Matters and other liberal media figures putting pressure on his shows advertisers in response to his coverage of Roy Moores underage sex abuse scandal.
Over the weekend, a campaign spearheaded by Media Matters for Americas Angelo Carusone led to five companies pulling their advertisements from Hannitys show. One of the companies involved was coffeemaker Keurig, and Hannity previously voiced approval when fans of his posted videos of themselves on Twitter destroying their coffeemakers in support of the Fox host.
In tonights monologue, Hannity slammed into MMfA for being anti-free speech, pro-censorship and leading a smear campaign against him. Hannity connected this to the political press by raving about how anyone who doesnt follow the line of left wing, destroy-Trump mainstream media will be targeted by liberal fascism.
They purposefully twist, lie, distort, propagandize, and weaponize whatever is said, whatever other people say, because they want to silence every conservative voice in the country. This is a dangerous time. They have been doing this somewhat successfully for years, and now its only getting worse.

He's claiming the companies didn't review what he actually said on his show, but we know they did.

So stop supporting child molestation, Hannity!

You purposefully twist, lie, distort, propagandize, and weaponize whatever is said, whatever other people say, because you want to silence every progressive voice in the country. This is a dangerous time. You have been doing this somewhat successfully for years, and now its only getting worse.
He's rehashing a small part of some of the many letters and emails
Faux Noise gets every day. Original thought is not his strong suit.
