Fans of Sean Hannity Should Not Be Gloating About CNN Resignations

CNN screwed up badly, and they did the right thing. They ran with a story with a single anonymous source that turned out to be false. CNN retracted the story and apologized for it, but that’s not all that happened.

Heads rolled:

…….

For all of the screaming and hair-pulling about “fake news,” the developments at CNN over the story, should satisfy some people. John Podhoretz tweeted the following:

He’s exactly right.

…….

The problem, of course, is people can’t accept what happened done and move on. So with some amusement, I saw this tweet from Sean Hannity:

Naturally, Hannity’s supporters loved the question, and there are more responses containing variations of “fake news” than I can count.

That said, for Sean Hannity to question the credibility of CNN after he’s trafficked in the Seth Rich conspiracy is a textbook case of chutzpah. When Hannity was called out for it, he said:

Right. And OJ Simpson is still looking for the “real” killers. Hannity is not conducting an “investigation.” He’s engaging in the kind of garbage reserved for InfoWars. David French at National Review covered this:

Hannity and others have been “asking questions” and “raising concerns” that Rich was no ordinary DNC employee. Instead, disgruntled at the DNC’s treatment of Bernie Sanders, he may have leaked Democratic documents to WikiLeaks. He is the source of the document dump, not Russian hackers. Thus, the key elements of the Russian interference story are a hoax. There is no Russia scandal. Here’s Hannity:

…….

The reason people want to believe the conspiracy is because it relieves it allows people to think Russia played no role the hacking of the emails.

……

Contrary to what people think, Seth Rich’s murder, if it goes unsolved, would not be the first unsolved murder in Washington DC. It’s irresponsible for anybody at Fox News to float the theory that Seth Rich was killed by operatives at the Democratic National Committee without a shred of proof but that’s what people are doing.

The chest-thumping over CNN is in poor taste if you’re one that buys into the piffle that Hannity is selling.
