The Document Sean Hannity Doesn't Want You To Read

June 16, 2004

Speaking at the Take Back America conference on June 3, American Progress CEO John Podesta said, "I think when you get so distant from the facts as -- as guys like Limbaugh and Sean Hannity do, yeah, I think that tends to -- it kind of -- it tends to corrupt the dialogue." Apparently he struck a nerve with Fox News' Sean Hannity. Hannity challenged Podesta to "defend and explain one example where I -- where I said something that was so false." Since choosing just one of Hannity's distortions is too difficult, here are fifteen examples:

All Hannity quotes from Hannity and Colmes unless otherwise noted.

3. I sent that to my brother, who faithfull listens to Hannity.

I haven't gotten a reply yet so he must be busy "justifying" Hannity's comments.

I am sure his justifications will be "Clinton quotes". He always does that. He isn't capable of defending Hannity or Bush for that matter.

4. Good stuff, then why hasn't someone filed suit for false news reporting or

force Insannity to admit he's a sensationalist entertainment talking head that is par with the National Inquirer?

9. Doesn't matter. FAUX already won the "right to lie" in court.

In the state of Florida, naturally :eyes:

5. Wow! That was a fantastic read

thanks for posting that.

Of course we know he's lying, but it's good to see the confirmation laid out so clearly.

12. Hannity is SO transparent.

It makes me wonder if this guy really believes any of the shit he says on TV.
