    Sean Hannity's Yellow Journalism



    Democratic Rep. Ellison launches into tirade on Fox News (VIDEO)
    By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 2 hrs 37 mins ago

    Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison exploded during a live interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday, calling the Fox News host the "worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen" and a "shill for the Republican Party."

    The Minnesota congressman was on the program to discuss President Barack Obama's remarks on the sequester when he launched into a tirade aimed at Hannity, who had said "The president is more concerned with fearmongering than finding a solution to the problem he created."

    "Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist I have ever seen," Ellison told Hannity, who said he couldn't hear him. "You heard me."

    Ellison then accused Hannity of "yellow journalism."

    "Every journalistic ethic I've ever heard of was just violated by you," Ellison said. "For you to say the president is to blame here is ridiculous."

    When Ellison called Hannity a "shill" for the GOP, the Fox News host tried to correct him. "I'm a registered conservative," Hannity said. "Keep ranting."

    Ellison did, and Hannity eventually ended the interview.

    "Congressman, you are a total waste of time," Hannity said. "We're moving on, because our audience deserves better."

      Hannity is such a balless cunt. At least Piers Morgan and others will hear their partisan enemies out and not cut them off...

          Hannity is a former construction worker who got a nice break. He knows it's going to be hard to match his pay anywhere else so he does what he is told. He's there for the check and doing a FOX gig is better than busting your ass on a job site in 100 degree heat.

          At least Hannity has a reputation of being good to work for. I hear he is decent to his staff. I hear just the opposite about Bill O'Riley.

              Poor Hannazi.... he's so used to pansy assed Alan Colmes, and the other DLC'ers who pose as "Libruls" on the FAUX network that he can't handle it when he has to talk to an actual Democrat who calls him out on his bullshit.

              I'll bet Hannazi calls him a terrorist from now on.

                  Paying attention to Hannity is scraping the bottom of the barrel for sure...

                              He had to cut him off. All the guy kept saying was Obama told the truth Obama told the truth Obama told the truth. As much as I dislike Hannity, the other guy is a crybaby douchebag plugging his ears going lalalala I know you are but what am I.

                              He was pissed about some intro thing about Obama and I wish the video included the offending piece so we could judge for ourselves if it was fair or not.

                                  Except he actually mentions issues which are never discussed on FOX by tools like Hannity such as heavy tax breaks allowing corporations to pay next to nothing in taxes, and that's when Hannity decides to cut off his "rant."

                                      Like I said, I am no fan of Hannity. He came to California to stand with the farmers that had their water cut off to save the Delta Smelt up north. Him & all the farmers screaming to turn it on cause they were dying. Sounds good....turn on the water so the farms can flourish right? Save jobs right? Fine. But he wouldn't even listen to the opposing side. How many jobs are at stake on the flip side of the argument? A lot I bet. Just sucked because I really wanted to hear both sides of it and why the Delta Smelt was important & who it affected.

                                          You are probably right. Sean dropped out of college and became a general contractor. That probably means he found suckers to pay him up front, did a little work and then skipped off leaving the home owner stuck with a liens on the unfinished house. Then he did shit radio shows, got good breaks and by sheer luck became bigger than Alex Jones.

                                                  It appears to me that across many walks of life in the US we have been following false profits and its all now coming home to roost. I would suggest that listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, fraline Colter, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity is like listening to financial advice from Bernie Madoff. Sounds good at first especially when you don't dig deeper and know your subject but in the end its just plain hokum. These people actually don't KNOW anything. --Miles Copeland III--
                                                  Whatever it takes to generate ratings with their target audience is all they care about. They still sell the same old fear and shit that got us stuck in Iraq and other Bush sponsored shenanigans.

                                                          Jones is worth about $5 million (which sort of contradicts his evil guberment message) and Hannity is worth $35 million and isn't completely insane...
