Even FOX Thinks Hannity Went Too Far Shilling For Trump This Time

Posted at 6:11 pm on September 20, 2016 by Caleb Howe

 
Fox News deep thinker Sean Hannity finally went too far even by their standards in his tireless and embarrassing shilling for Donald Trump, and they had to put a stop to it.

Every night on Fox, Hannity runs an hour-long Trumpfomercial. He constantly holds "townhall" shows with Trump, not to mention the rest of the family, and routinely has him on for "interviews" where he challenges nothing Trump says and just prompts him for talking points.

Fox is fine with that.

 
Hannity also has a radio show each day dedicated to two topics: "Trump is Super Awesome" and "These People Who Don't Like Trump Are Therefore Scum and I Will Karate Them."

Fox is fine with that, too.

But even Fox News has finally decided that Hannity went too far when he recently appeared in a Trump ad to pitch Donald Trump for President. Seriously. He's in blue jeans and everything!

(Skip ahead to 5:58. Trust me, you do not want to have to sit through this.)


Fox says ixnay to that, reports the Washington Post's Erick Wemple.

So no more official commercials for Trump from Sean Hannity. He'll just have to stick with the unofficial commercials he runs on radio and TV all day every day.

Hi-yah!

Trump and Limbaugh are destroying themselves with anybody other than the rabid Trumpkins.  They look like absolute fools in their defense of a Democrat.

@seanhannity Don't let these fools talk down to you. The heart wants what it wants.

[Wingnut]

One would have thought Sean's lip prints on Trumps ass and his personalised Mar A Lago BJ rug would have been a dead give-a-way. 

[Cripplecreek]

I think Hannity is trying to get fired.

[Sanguine]

Bowlegged little fellow, isn't he?

I actually respect Hannity more than Limbaugh.  Hannity has decided that Trump is the American savior, so he's going all in for him and doing everything he can to get him elected.  Limbaugh sat on the fence until it was too late for a conservative candidate, and then came out openly supporting Trump, but all the while trying to remain cool and above it all. Blech.

I can't even stand to here Hannity's voice.  He's a detestable little twit.  Nothing he does is surprising.  I'm more disappointed in Rush.  He has really turned into an arrogant jerk in his defense of the Donald.  Today he was pumping some stupid column by David Victor Hanson going after the so called "Never tRumpers".  Just another dumb column in a long line of dumb columns by so called "conservatives".  Fortunately, Levin, the only small voice of sanity, didn't let either Rush or Hanson get away with it.

Glenn Beck is sounding remarkably sane right now, too.

If you want to here really crazy turn on Michael Savage.  He is 100% positive that it is because of him that the Donald won the nomination.  He believes that if tRump wins that he will be called up to help the Donald run the country.  He is insane.

I never watch FNC.  But I do read about what goes on there.

Was Roger Ailes sexually harassing Hannity also?

Has anyone been to TOS lately? I wonder if they are in lalaland over the Orange Glorious too? (Not enough to go look, just enough to ask).

[Frank Cannon]

Was Roger Ailes was sexually harassing Hannity also?

He wasn't......that's why he is upset.

Exactly!

[Restored]

Fox discovers water is wet.
Hannity is just like Chris Matthews.

[LMAO]

Hannity is just like Chris Matthews.

@Restored

Exactly.
And how many years did Hannity mock Matthews and other Obama sycophants?

[Cripplecreek]

The typical Hannity show over the past year looks something like this.

That.

How do these lickspittles think all this is gonna play out for them? Even if Trump wins, I don't see them growing their audience as a result. To the contrary.

A couple of years ago (maybe 3 or so) a friend recommended that I check out Savage's show.  I listened to about 2 shows and couldn't take anymore.  It was pretty clear that he wasn't principled to the core, so his current approach isn't surprising in the least!

Same for Hannity, it just took me a bit longer to tire from his "conservatism." 

I would recommend the TBR nation tune into Mike Slater.  He is a local Conservative talk show host in San Diego.  You can get his podcasts for free from his station's app.  It is AM760 KFMB.  He does talk positively about Trump, but he isn't a "pom pom boy" and he has many other valuable segments in his show.  He does a biography interview segment each week with a random biographer of an "American that has made this country great."  He also talks to folks that do charity work from a Conservative perspective.  Etc..

I remember when savage first became popular I listened to his show a few times. He seemed to be more interested in slamming other conservative talk show hosts, hawking his books, and talking about his mother than discussing pertinent topics

He always left me wanting to slit my wrists with his endless raging negativity.

[Emjay]

Funny how crazy Glenn Beck turned out to be the sane one.

He's in the 'last laughs' club and there is a small membership.

I noticed that, too.

Of all the "conservative" talk show hosts, Savage is the only one I think might have mental problems. Mark Levin, who detests Savage, can get a little too loud at times. But he is actually mostly sane and reasonable.....and always on topic.
