Fox News: 'We do not condone' hosts Hannity, Pirro participating in Trump campaign events
By Joe Concha - 11/06/18 01:00 PM EST

Fox News says it "does not condone" its hosts "participating in campaign events" as Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro did during a campaign rally with President Trump in Missouri on Monday night.

A network spokesperson on Tuesday called the event "an unfortunate distraction" that "has been addressed."

“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events," read a statement to The Hill. "We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”

Hannity took to Twitter to also address the controversial decision to appear on stage. The host had stated in a tweet earlier on Monday that he would not do so, and wrote on Tuesday afternoon he was surprised but honored by the president's request.

That's right, Rupert.  Go ahead and tick off most of your conservative fans and viewership.  You know.... the ones whose support your ratings and profits from Fox News depends upon.   Whatta moron.

One side of the media monopoly declared both open and tacit support for the democrat party and hatred for Donald Trump, as seen in their phony reporting and politically slanted news headlines. They pushed a narrative for two years that the 2016 election was probably stolen by Trump which stoked the fires of left wing fanaticism and violent action.

The other side of the media divide criticizes an opinion journalist who works for them, ceding ground to the left by pretending that the media is fair and balanced which lends credibility to the liberal media. Say what Fox News? The time for pretending is over.

'Cept Hannity isn't conservative, so I'm not ticked off.



Oh, wait.....

Right. I suppose Hannity’s nearly 14 million weekly listeners are socialists and democrats.

Hannity has already dethroned Rush as America’s most influential radio talk show host. He’s without a doubt a full fledged, NRA supporting, rock ribbed conservative.

Exactly.

Which is why I dismiss them all as no less than the flip side of that which they pretend they oppose.

Haters of liberty as much as the Left, unless one walks and salutes in goose-step with them.

@DB  Sorry, but your own logic is skewed if you divide Trump supporters into one classification.  Some of us are reluctant Trump supporters, who have stopped being so reluctant.

And nobody here has called anyone here a socialist, a democrat or a Marxist and you darn well know it.

The same 2-3 million who listen every day don’t equal 14 million unique people.

They misconstrue my meaning. I’ll repeat it.

Hannity has now and has always attracted a conservative audience (as opposed to a socialist audience) because Seanne Hannity is a conservative.

That's the base.

If we don't fall in lockstep, we're Marxists.

A world of extremes based not on thought, but feelings, with no understanding of reality.

Absolutely untrue.

It happens with regularity.

The Trump base (i.e. faithful) think that everyone who didn't vote for Trump wanted Hillary, thus, is a Marxist.

If you were on the other side (i.e. still a Conservative, and not a party no matter what person), then you would have been stung by this ridiculous insult many-a time.

I can surely understand Murdoch's POV on this.

But geez...the other cable news networks have proudly chosen sides and prove it all day.  Everyday.

Sean Hannity
@seanhannity

Nov 5

In spite of reports, I will be doing a live show from Cape Girardeau and interviewing President Trump before the rally. To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President. I am covering final rally for my show. Something I have done in every election in the past.


Sean Hannity
@seanhannity

2h

What I said in my tweet yesterday was 100% truthful. When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request. This was NOT planned.



What he said was 100% truthful.  He didn’t actually appear on stage.  You didn’t see what you thought you saw.  Fake news.   :shrug:

I believe what was claimed was that if you didn't physically cast a vote for Donald Trump, then you were in fact, making it a little easier for the alternate choice to win.

That alternate choice has publicly shown hard radical she is...since November 2016.

Forget the turnaround in business and consumer confidence and employment...

You can put all the spin and/or sweetener on it that you like, but there are multiple people on this board who call anyone who didn't vote for Trump a Marxist, with regularity.

Even though forbidden to call conservatives here pro-Hillary, some have insisted on doing it...... a few in all CAPS.

To deny the truth of what the accusers have said, and are still saying, does no good.

It's here in black and white.

I reiterate @musiclady   No one here has called anyone here a marxist, democrat or socialist and it is ridiculous to claim that they have.  No Mod would allow it for a minute.

And no one can claim to know another's thoughts.

I have been called a Marxist............ and worse.

Happens all the time.

It does NOT happen all the time.  I have never seen it and because you found an isolated instance, apparently missed by the mods, simply makes you paranoid.

Why would you choose to imagine that Trump supporters call you names?
