But former National Security analyst John Schindler and others have been warning for months that Hannity has helped the president spread Russian propaganda through his nightly Fox News broadcasts and daily syndicated radio program.
Schindler claims the Fox News broadcaster has been under counterintelligence investigation for his links to the Kremlin, which appear to run through WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
We need to ask questions about Hannitys relationship with the Kremlin, considering his track record of pushing rancid Russian disinformation on his Fox News program, Schindler said. Hannity is a propagandist, not a journalist, by his own admission, but if he has served as a witting conduit for lies crafted by Russian spies, Fox News needs to explain why they are airing Kremlin Active Measures aimed at the American public and calling it news.'
Intelligence Community friends have told me that Sean Hannity has been under counterintelligence investigation for some time, based on his clandestine ties to Moscow, he added. Now we know why.
Hannity played a key role in promoting a conspiracy theory about slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, whose family has sued Fox News over a since-retracted May 2017 article posted on the networks website.

(22,976 posts)Lets hope its sooner rather than later. That Hannity is a goddamned menace. He and Fox have been keeping 45 *just barely* above water.
Its time to close the curtain on that sad act.

(2,169 posts)Are they being paid big bucks, Hannity already makes big bucks. Or is it the ends justifiy the means, anything to win. Or is it just the enemy of my enemy is my friend and the Russian angle just jives with RWNJ/Conservative mindset and makes compelling complementary fodder for their followers.
Inquiring minds want to know.
