Chuck Todd Takes Aim at Fox News: 'No Serious News Org' Would Allow Hannity to Cover Cohen

by Aidan McLaughlin | 8:34 am, April 17th, 2018

NBC News’ Chuck Todd took aim at Fox News on Tuesday morning, in the wake of revelations Sean Hannity is Trump-lawyer Michael Cohen’s mysterious third client.

Given Hannity’s fierce criticisms last week of the FBI’s raid on Cohen’s office and home, he has come under fire for not previously disclosing his relationship with the lawyer — long known as President Donald Trump’s personal “fixer.”

Chuck Todd jumped in on that critique Tuesday, tweeting: “Going to find out what kind of org Fox is today.”

“No serious news org would allow someone this conflicted to cover this story,” he added, linking to a tweet from publisher Ron Fournier that decried the Hannity-Cohen affair as a “Clear conflict” and “dishonest ‘journalism'”.

They're not exactly the paradigm on which good journalism is based.
