Did anyone here watch Hannity's America tonight?


I have sworn off FOX NEWS, so I didn't see any of their right wing propaganda. I am hoping someone on this board did my "dirty work" for me.

Supposedly, he had "new information" about Obama's dangerous radical ties that he would be exposing tonight?


Did anyone "bite the bullet" so they could fill us in?


Of course I could probably wait for the MSM to pick up Hannity's talking points, but why wait until tomorrow evening if someone could tell me what happened now!

4. Where did you hear that that dipshit has 'new information'?
I didn't even know he had a Sunday show, not that I would have tuned in anyway.

5. Someone had a thread here about it yesterday.


Of course it couldn't be any worse than the propaganda he had on his show last week. The LA times even called him out on it. I DEARLY WISH there was some kind of FCC law or regulation that News operations had to follow to be legitimately "fair and balanced!"

6. It was a repeat from Thursday or Friday, I do believe.
Hannity will be back to painting houses soon. If anyone would hire his dumb ass.

He got NOTHIN'.

9. I am sure that was just his hook to get people to tune in. It was probably nothing important for
the rational person.

10. Fox News' faux documentary sets new low
Fox's hourlong screed is just the kind of media coverage that has contributed to the increasingly angry and irrational tone on the campaign trail. Even by the low standards of this election's advocacy journalism, the program plumbed new depths -- relying on innuendo and guilt by association to paint the Illinois senator as a dupe of the shadowy forces of the left.

Much of Hannity's report was based on interviews with half a dozen partisan commentators, whose main qualification seems to have been a previously expressed disdain for Obama.

Near the top of the program, the host introduced one of them, Andy Martin, as an "author and journalist." But reporters in his Chicago hometown know Martin better as a perennial political candidate and serial litigant.

<snip>

So when Hannity wanted to know what Obama did as a young community organizer, Martin was ready with a pithy answer: "I think a community organizer, in Barack Obama's case, was somebody that was in training for a radical overthrow of the government."

Martin offered no evidence. None. But, when I called him, he helped me understand why this was not a problem.

"I do involve with the facts," he began, "but when the facts aren't all there, and the perpetrator has concealed all the facts and is basically refusing to testify, you are allowed to draw an adverse inference."
