...Mr. Hannity uses his show on the nation’s most-watched cable news network to blare Mr. Trump’s message relentlessly — giving Mr. Trump the kind of promotional television exposure even a billionaire can’t afford for long.

But Mr. Hannity is not only Mr. Trump’s biggest media booster; he also veers into the role of adviser. Several people I’ve spoken with over the last couple of weeks said Mr. Hannity had for months peppered Mr. Trump, his family members and advisers with suggestions on strategy and messaging.....

Hannity dove gleefully into Trump's beef curtains when he was replaced by Kelly & his radio markets were slashed by a 1/3. It's personal.

All the shoe polish Hannity has ingested over the past year has caused severe brain damage.

Kinda funny. The other day someone suggested to Hannity that his mother was a cheap hooker. He got offended and when the guy pointed out that Ted Cruz had faced the same kind of attacks on his family, Hannity blocked the guy like a coward.

Just a reminder: when there were 17 Republicans running for the nomination, @seanhannity turned his show into the Trump Hour every night.

Even with all our complaints about the MSM, in the old days, something this overt wouldn't be tolerated. It would be considered a conflict of interest.

Yup. Ailes, Hannity, Drudge, Bannon, yesterday Hugh Hewitt said that he's been in talks with the campaign as a potential speech writer.

All are nothing but propagandists

And BTW, they attacked Mark Levin over the fact that his girlfriend's adult son worked for the Cruz campaign.

Sean is really doing a bang up job of advising. Just look at how well Trump is doing.

If true, wouldn't this be illegal in some way? Or at least violating some government regulation? The FEC, the FCC, somebody?

You would think so.

I quit watching his program as it is a sweet/sickly adoration of Trump every day.

Well Hannity is correct about one thing. He is NOT a journalist, nor is he a conservative.

Vote for Donald because he is a "Great American"??? /s

Gotta be a mouthpiece. If the Trump campaign is picking Hannity's brain they are in far more trouble than I thought.

Back in 2010, I actually got into it with Mark Levin over Hannity on FR. I can't remember the gist of it other than I mentioned something like Hannity seemed spineless and celebrity focused, but it seems to have played out that way. Mark jumped all over me that 'Hannity was the best guy he knew and totally genuine....' Now, it looks like Mark may have been wrong for once.

I'm surprised by this news. I thought it was official.

Silver Pines · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2016, 06:18:16 pm »

I'm willing to bet this arrangement stretches all the way back to the primaries. I'll never forget the way Hannity shouted at Ted Cruz on his radio show; it was unbelievable.

No wonder Hannity had no patience with Cruz, and constantly tried to prod him into complimenting Trump.

I went to Wal*Mart that night and bought me 3 Country Music CDs to listen to on my way home from work instead of Hannity...

...and I was never really a C&W music kinda guy. I am now. Waylon Jennings, David Allen Coe, and Marty Robbins is a decent start.

I'd buy a Yoko Ono CD if it meant I didn't have to listen To Hammity.
