Hannity is part of a bigger operation keeping Americans misinformed and distracted from the truth behind our major problems. Hannity’s bosses, Roger Ailes and Ruppert Murdoch and his radio counterparts Limbaugh and Beck are intent is to control enough media outlets and mobilize low information voters whenever they want. Whether it’s a call from Karl Rove to start spouting anti Obama venom or a nudge from the Koch brothers to belittle the science behind climate change because environmental regulations cut into their massive profits, this little group of merry “soul-less men” are glad to do the bidding of the powerful. Ailes is marketing genius who knew the best way to define a true “prop” machine was to call it fair and balanced. Truth is, no one watches Hannity to be informed, they watch Hannity to have their Pre Existing biases reinforced, nightly, with a world view that you will find only on FOX. A view that subtly weaves its message against other races, against workers, against healthcare, against gun regulation, always stoking some paranoia and finishing with a commercial to “buy gold”. Slowly people who wanted to believe this misinformation, are seeing it for what it is, and always has been ….A lot of rich guys and corporations trying to stick it to the American people while increasing their ever growing profit margins and using the “soul-less” ones to achieve it.

Romney offered lukewarm...even Jesus said "yuck"..... Ron Paul offered a true conservative platform but the c.c. Republicans don't have the balls. End the Fed, balance the budget and get American boys out of foregin wars said Ron Paul... the Republicans said no, they thought trashing Obama's miserable record would work... It didn't as the American people want real conservative (not neo-con) values!

I am not listening to the news very much at the moment. I am just tired of politics. We spend too much time on our elections. Sean Hannity is not any worse or any better than other political commentators representing either party. I haven't stopped watching because I blame Sean Hannity for the way the election went. Sean Hannity is not a liar he backs up what he says with facts. I just need a break from the whole political process. There is so much rotteness, and lies and half truths and the Democrats can dish it out so all you liberals have nothing to boast about because you spread your share of lies to get Obama elected.

After reading these comments,it has kid of restored my vision of Americans. I do believe that most of you are finally getting that stupidity is not the way to go. That is to say that being a Repubican(Conservative) is moronic. It is time to join the masses and get behind Obama and help him get you out of the mess your in. We will try our darndest to get rid of George Bush the third here in Canada and maybe North America can thrive again. The old raicist,capitalists,and right wingers are hopefully going to be something of the past. Then we can live in a world of equality. Just saying

Hannity makes me ashamed to call myself Irish-American. Fortunately, he is Irish by name only, as he has never shown the slightest interest or knowledge of his Irish ancestry.

The Democrats couldn't have had a better campaign ad than seeing all mouth no brain Hannity whining on air about paying a slightly higher tax rate on his $20 million salary if the "Socialist" Obama won re-election.

If this is true then all the more reason to include it in the article. I suspect it wasn't there because it couldn't be verified. Could you please cite your source ?
