Ties That Bind, Hannity Fails To Reveal Conflict Of Interest

Ties That Bind

Jesse Lee Peterson, a talk show host and conservative black activist, appeared on Fox's "Hannity & Colmes" earlier this month to tout his fifth annual "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson."

Co-host Sean Hannity defended Peterson against criticism from the other guest, Ron Daniels of the Center for Constitutional Rights. "Jesse has devoted -- let me finish -- his adult life to building homes and giving opportunity and finding work and developing skills for young African American men. Isn't that true, Jesse?" He even suggested that Daniels "donate" money to Peterson's group.

What Hannity didn't share with viewers is that he serves on the advisory board of Peterson's organization, Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. Nor did he mention it on Peterson's 12 previous appearances on the program since 2002, though on one occasion he called Peterson "my good friend."

Hannity says he has mentioned the link on his radio show and "I probably should have done it that night. If I had it to do over again, I would." He says he took the non-paying position with BOND after the group gave him an award several years ago and "it's not something I've ever hidden." Hannity says his suggestion that Daniels make a donation was just tongue-in-cheek.

Newt says that if he had to do it over again he probably would've gone to Vietnam. Here's a hint there are no do overs. It is utterly bullshit

put Hannity on their board.

that's the same thing bush said at a debate...as if he were "negotiating with himself".

No doubt every rightwing stooge in the media has unrevealed connections to the Corporate/Fascist pigs they are pimping for.

Sorry Free
we put together this plan a week ago but had to keep it under wraps so the word would not leak out since we wanted to catch Byrd's Office offguard. I would like to thank the DC Chapter of FreeRepublic for coming onboard with BOND, CORE, Project21, The National Bapttist Convention, and Hispanic Republican Activist Lori Lopez.
