I suppose if I ate lead paint regularly, I could see trusting Sean Hannity and Kimdotcom(LOL) over our entire intelligence community.

"It hurts those of us who are legitimately focused on journalism," added the first employee. "We have a chance to turn the corner at Fox, and perpetuating this conspiracy theory damages our integrity."

Good joke Fox.

I'm sure there are some people at Fox News who genuinely want to produce high-quality journalism, but work at Fox because the industry is a shitshow. Hopefully Hannity losing his marbles will push more of those people up the chain, as they purge the more radical contingent.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Wow, this dude doesn't even attempt to act like a professional on Twitter. How embarrassing that a grown man acts like that.

Amazing term this presidency!

Fox goes under and so will Trump

No one could've predicted this, I thought we'd see a renaissance of conservative media.

Instead we're watching much it collapse.

Fox News is worse than RT at present time

 

[McLovin]

Multiple Fox News employees told CNN that Hannity, who declined to comment, and others were hurting the credibility of the outlet by continuing to advance the theory, for which there is no real evidence.

Since when has fox news cared about credibility?

Without the boogeyman of Obama and Clinton. They really don't know what to do with themselves. Hell you even see them attacking each other at times.

 

[BADMAN]

I suppose if I ate lead paint regularly, I could see trusting Sean Hannity and Kimdotcom(LOL) over our entire intelligence community.

I am genuinely interested in what kimdotcom has in terms of info on this thing. Not because I believe the conspiracy, but because he's building up what I can only assume to be a giant nothingburger and it will be fun to see the conspiracy guys try to make it seem like a big deal.

Conservatives are basically like some 1920s slapstick routine where there's like 50 guys pushing on a door until it finally bursts open, causing them to all fall onto each other and start fighting.

They have no boogeyman to rally against and blame all their problems on anymore. With Republicans controlling everything, there's only so much deflection they can do before they turn on themselves.

Sean Hannity @seanhannity
Huge announcement tonight about Seth Rich, Trump/Russian Collusion corrupt media, the liberal effort to silence me. And my future at Fox!

I almost want to tune in to see the meltdown but the future at fox thing is probably bullshit like I'm here to stay Mothafuckas.

Fox generally distinguishes between their news and opinion shows. The "opinion" side is what it is, but the news side does actually like to be considered legitimate journalism.

It's sort of happening.

I don't mind if Fox News continues, just not as a bastion of conservative bias.

Losing O'Reilly, Ailes, hopefully Hannity is just not something i'd ever have dreamed happening under this administration.

Plus it slipped to 3rd place in primetime for the first time in 17 years! All good news.

Also, the Fox news brand is in the hand of Murdoch's sons now: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/business/media/murdoch-family-21st-century-fox.html

thankfully we live in a corporate society. ailes made it his personal mission to save america. anyone new coming in is dramatically less likely to give a single fuck about america.

the thing to be worried about is the news media adapting to a new conservative audience of trolls and south park watchers.

 

[Jackpot]

Fox has retracted the story.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/may/23/fox-news-retracts-story-seth-rich-murder-dnc

Fox News has retracted a story on the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, which was roundly condemned for perpetuating conspiracy theories.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Fox News said the article in question “was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting”.

Meaning if Hannity is planning this:

Sean Hannity @seanhannity
Huge announcement tonight about Seth Rich, Trump/Russian Collusion corrupt media, the liberal effort to silence me. And my future at Fox!

he's probably leaving.

 

[polyh3dron]

they've always been worse

 

[Loxley]

Meaning if Hannity is planning this:

Yeah that seems pretty cut and dry.

 

[Aurongel]

Hahaha, what a cunt. Trying to frame this as the liberal media out to get him when his own staffers, managers and editors want him out.

Truly the softest, warmest snowflake 😂

good. he can go start a dumbcast elsewhere like bill oreilly. trump really is indirectly draining that swamp!

God damn.

What time is his show on? It does seem like he's going to quit...... but who knows, disappointment is easier to come by than shockingly good news.

His show is on 10EST.

Don't stay up just on the hopes that hannity quits.

 

[Cat Party]

He's not quitting. He's just teasing it so you'll watch his show.

I'm busy anyway, and I would never even considering watching him live - just curious.

 

[RedAssedApe]

he just wants to try and trick ya'll to get his ratings up.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Don't waste your time. If he did actually quit that shit would be online by the time you wake up.

 

[Anoregon]

Yep. None of you should watch this fucking shameful shit.

Hannity was in this game long before Beck and his chalkboard burst on the scene.

Sean Hannity is one of the biggest snowflakes of them all.

More like a watered-down version of Alex Jones.

If he had already quit, Fox wouldn't let him have the last word and humiliate the network further.

Prob posted already but I am have been complaining to all of Sean Hannity's advertisers.

He went back to his old ways after Trump won, though. Acting sane was his attempt to save the Blaze.

How do people like this keep and build careers?

Anyone that watches the show, post what this amounts to tonight pls.

 

[Speevy]

The liberal media told lies about what I said concerning Seth Rich. Fake news. There is no Russia collusion, and my future at Fox News is secure.

Now let's talk about how bad Barack Obama was.

 

[polyh3dron]

This is a ratings ploy, if he was actually leaving Fox wouldn't let him come on to go full Howard Beale on his way out.
