Aug 8, 2023: Radar Online: Kevin McCarthy REFUSES to Say Joe Biden Took Bribes When Pressed by Sean Hannity on Fox News
"You know, the bribery statute, Mr. Speaker, does not demand that somebody benefit themselves financially,” Hannity continued. “In this case, the vice president took a specific action and his family was involved in personal enrichment. That being Hunter, based on his actions. Is that bribery to you?”
But rather than answer Hannity’s questions and confirm the Fox News host’s suspicions about Biden, McCarthy instead skirted the questions and vowed to investigate the president and the bribery allegations against him further.

Apr 17, 2023: NBC News: Fox could likely survive a nine-figure loss to Dominion, media analysts say
Following an instance in which a Fox reporter noted that there was “no evidence” of voting system fraud, prime-time host Tucker Carlson texted fellow Fox anchor Sean Hannity calling for the reporter to be fired. 
April 16, 2023:
Fox News stars Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and founder Rupert Murdoch are among the people expected to testify over the next few weeks. Barring a last-minute settlement, opening statements are scheduled for Monday. Dominion’s lawsuit is being closely watched by another voting-technology company with a separate but similar case against Fox News. Florida-based Smartmatic has looked to some rulings and evidence in the Dominion case to try to enhance its own $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit in New York. The Smartmatic case isn’t yet ready for trial but has survived Fox News’ effort to get it tossed out. Mar 29, 2023: Financial Times: Fox News’ populist mask has slipped
This time, a Fox anchor was seemingly conspiring against his own viewers. In a text message to fellow primetime hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham about a Fox News reporter who had tweeted that there was “no evidence” for Trump’s claims that the election had been stolen by Dominion’s voting machines, Carlson wrote: “Please get her fired. Seriously . . . What the fuck? I’m actually shocked. It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.” Mar 6, 2023: NPR: Fox News stands in legal peril. It says defamation loss would harm all media
In his sworn responses to questioning from Dominion attorney Justin Nelson, Fox Corp. boss Murdoch acknowledged that four of his star hosts — Dobbs, Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity — had endorsed the baseless claims of election fraud, at least "a bit" in the case of Hannity. He referred to them as commentators. Opinions have even more latitude under case law than straight-ahead reporting. (Dobbs left his post at Fox Business Network a day after a second election tech company, Smartmatic, filed its own $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox. That case is not as far along as Dominion's.) March 3, 2023: Daily Beast: Steve Bannon Vows to Go Nuclear on Fox News in His CPAC Speech
Though conservative mega-pundits Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity publicly remain some of Trump’s biggest boosters, a rift has opened between the former president and Rupert Murdoch, the owner of his former favorite network. In February, legal filings revealed texts between Carlson, Hannity, and Murdoch in which they repeatedly called Trump’s baseless election fraud claims “crazy.” Murdoch’s vast right-wing media empire has recently heaped glowing coverage on Trump’s presumed primary rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. 
Jan 30, 2023: The Present Age: Paul Pelosi and the Right's Problem with Conspiracy Theories
A lot of these were framed in a very… “Hey, I’m just askin’ questions!?” kind of way. For instance, a few days after the attack, Sean Hannity tried to cast doubt on the story by highlighting that Pelosi “never let on, apparently, that he was in any distress at all whatsoever just seconds before, you know, he opens the door and he says -- instead of telling the police officers to come in and help, I got this guy in here with a hammer, apparently, Pelosi calmly greeted the police at the door, no signs of injuries that they mentioned, retreated several feet back, went back into the foyer and that's where police actually witnessed this -- this guy, this nut, this illegal immigrant guy strike him with the hammer.” Jan 6, 2023: Daily Beast: The ‘Never Kevin’ Chaos Is Tearing Fox News Apart
Hannity’s shouting match with Boebert, meanwhile, prompted Fox’s smaller far-right media rivals to pounce and call out the conservative network for casting in with the “uniparty swamp rats.” Newsmax host and serial plagiarist Benny Johnson, for instance, called Hannity “the Praetorian Guard of the establishment” while decrying his “embarrassing” interview with Boebert. Dec 23, 2022: TVNewser: Sean Hannity Says Under Oath He Doubts Trump and Allies’ Claims About 2020 Election Voter Fraud
One of Trump’s most high-profile supporters promoting the voting machine fraud narrative via the guests he invited onto his nightly primetime show was Fox News’ Sean Hannity. However, Hannity testified under oath back in August that he honestly did not believe Trump’s claims about voting machine fraud in the election, according to a story published by the New York Times on Wednesday. “I did not believe it for one second,” Hannity testified. Dec 22, 2022: NPR: Fox News' Sean Hannity says he knew all along Trump lost the election
Fox News star Sean Hannity – one of former President Donald Trump's strongest allies on the air and one of his closest advisers off it – admitted under oath that he never believed the lie that Trump was cheated of victory in the 2020 presidential election by a voting tech company. Mar 4, 2022: Yahoo: Fox News defense reporter challenges war comments on air Griffin has pushed back on comments made by Sean Hannity, Steve Doocy, Harris Faulkner and Greg Gutfeld during appearances on their own shows. After Hannity criticized President Joe Biden on Ukraine policy, Griffin noted that every president since the fall of the Soviet Union has made mistakes there. Doocy argued on “Fox & Friends” that sanctions haven’t worked against Russia; Griffin said it was too soon to say that. When Faulkner similarly questioned whether sanctions were a sufficient step, Griffin said that sending troops to the area would have given Putin an excuse to invade. She said it was “not some wag-the-dog situation” when Gutfeld suggested on “The Five” that the Ukraine crisis had been manufactured. Dec 15, 2021: Salon: Text-gate fallout: Hannity, Ingraham and Don Jr. unveiled as whiny MAGA wimps!
As we have learned this week, even purported true believers like the Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, and even the not-yet-defrocked president's feckless eldest son, Donald Jr., were at least temporarily swayed by the prospect of a return to the realm of previously-existing political reality. Dec 1, 2021: The Bulwark: Dr. Oz Quacks the Code of Republican Politics Dr. Oz abuses every privilege life has handed him. He preys upon people with less knowledge and sophistication.

Oct 19, 2021: Queerty: Eric Trump proves the body can successfully survive without a brain in latest Fox News appearance

July 24, 2013
Sept 24, 2013: Sean Hannity had this to say about Ted Cruz on his radio show: "Ted Cruz reminds me a little bit of Reagan in this sense. Reagan was despised when he challenged the sitting president, Gerald Ford for the nomination in 1976, despised. But he did lay the foundation to win the election in 1980. Every Republican loves Reagan, but he wasn’t loved at the time. He was called extreme by fellow Republicans.
ON THE RECORD: Jan 22, 2014: Colin Campbell, on New York Observer's Politicker posted an article titled "Conservative Pundits Weigh In on Cuomo ‘No Place in the State’Controversy." Campbell reports that Fox News' Sean Hannity has threatened to leave the state because of comments made by New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who was reported to have said that “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York.” Cuomo's staff has claimed the comments were taken out of context and they posted a completed transcript on the governors website. The part in question reads: "You’ve seen that play out in New York, their SAFE act, the Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act. It was voted for by moderate republicans who run the Senate. Their problem is not me and democrats, their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are." Frankly, I don't think the transcript is any better. It's still directed at conservatives and implies they have no business in government in the state of New York. Cuomo goes on to say that "Moderate republicans like in the Senate right now and control the senate, Moderate republicans have a place in this state." this just comes off to me as what has become typical for Democrats and Progressives to write off conservatives a some sort of lunatic fringe that really has no business doing anything in government except to shut up and obey it. Maybe conservatives just need to step up and announce that they are gay. I mean there's never any litmus test for "gayness" so after announcing your conservative beliefs and goals, throw in that "Oh BTW, I am gay." Suddenly you are a victim (but with convictions) who can say just about anything and the mainstream media will let it go. Just a thought.
ON THE RECORD: Jan 27, 2014: President Obama is scheduled to give the annual Sate of the Union address tomorrow night. Bill Straub (PJ Media) reports that the "State of the Union Guests Range from Obama’s DREAMers to Benghazi Dad" Also on that list is Sean Hannity. According to Straub: "Hannity, who recently drew attention as a result of his vow to leave New York where Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made him and other conservatives feel unwelcome, was invited to the generally staid affair by Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas), a frequent guest on Hannity’s show who shares his views."

Z-News Notes: Feb 21, 2014: Ann Coulter and TV host Sean Hannity clashed over the tactics being used by some Tea Party lawmakers in Washington. While Hannity commended lawmakers for taking a stand for their principles, Coulter suggested the movement is being hijacked by “con men” who are “tricking Americans to send them money.” Coulter also criticized Tea Party lawmakers who are focusing on “defeating establishment Republicans” instead of Democrats because the party should be united in taking back the Senate in 2014 — regardless of which Republicans get elected to office. The ultimate goal should be to repeal Obamacare, she said. (SOURCE: Jason Howerton: The Blaze: "Ann Coulter vs. Sean Hannity on the Tea Party: Don’t Trust the ‘Shysters’ Who Say They Want to Defeat ‘Establishment Republicans’")
Apr 5, 2014: On her show last Wednesday, Megyn Kelly announced that she would not publicly identify the shooter involved in the recent Fort Hood killings: "Authorities are identifying the shooter. If you are interested you can get his name on other shows, like the one that preceded this one, and online, but we have decided not to name these mass killers here as a policy here on the Kelly File. Too often it is infamy they seek, and we decline to help." Fox News Sean Hannity also followed suit. Kelly told Bill O'Reilly last year: "I really think I’m at the point where I no longer want to utter the names of these people at all. I think we should all do it. If they want to find out the names of these people who do this, who shoot up places or take themselves out in a blaze of glory, go look it up online." I think the move is a great move. Quite often in shootings that end in suicide, the shooter thinks he will gain some kind of notoriety or fame and his name will be remembered (though not for anything great). But we all know who shot President Kennedy and his brother, and even remember the name of the person who attempted to kill President Reagan. We should not make legends out of cowardly murderers who take others with them just before they take their own life.
