Donald Trump is devouring Fox News
« on: October 06, 2016, 10:20:39 pm »
By Erik Wemple October 6 at 10:40 AM

Any news outlet wishing to provide solid and comprehensive coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign cannot avoid mentioning Sean Hannity’s promotion of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “Hannity,” which airs in the prime-time lineup of Fox News, is influential among conservatives and enjoys a substantial cable news audience, and its more interesting moments have a long tail on the Internet. In violation of any journalistic principle, Hannity has done a video promotion for Trump, hosted him for softball interviews too numerous to recount and even provided advice to the campaign.

BuzzFeed, the New York Times, The Washington Post and the rest of the field have reported extensively on this dynamic.

Trump may be devouring Fox, but Hannity is destroying his own reputation.

He has lost his "I'm a Conservative" cover entirely.......... and all by his own doing.

You're right about Hannity. Fox was in the tank for Trump during the primaries as well. They lost me as anything more than a casual observer because of this bias. It is funny though that Hannity and Fox are being criticized by the legacy media that has been in the tank for hillary from the beginning.

We really don't have a "fair and balanced alternative.

Hannity has become "Tingles"

But in his defense, I don't think he has ever claimed to be a journalist and is upfront on his politics unlike many so called journalists

You're right about that.  Fox is no longer "fair and balanced" nor is it skewed right.

Since they fell for Trump, they are just another liberal news outlet.

Sad.
