Who else secured a 1-hr prime time interview with Trump?

That was a huge get—and he’s to be commended for it.

I agree with most of what he says.
It’s his style and delivery that, for me anyway, are painful to watch/hear.
He talks over his guests far too much.

I don’t dislike the guy at all; I just loathe his TV show.
I find him to be much more tolerable on the radio.

When there is NEW news or something really breaking he is great. Without real news or a breaking story he is super repetitive and hard to watch. I pop in and catch him about every 7 - 10 days and don't feel I miss that much. Of course Hannity has huge ratings so there are a lot of people that love his show. He gets the word out.

Best thing Hannity provided was a forum for people early on that knew the Russia stuff was fishy. See Sara Carter and John Soloman. They brought the thunder to Hannity but Hannity gave them a platform to reach a lot of people. Actually think Hannity... between his radio and TV show... helped bust up this Russian hoax. CNN, MSNBC, etc.. sure weren't going to do it.

For that I say God bless Sean Hannity and his repetitive arse.

I will say this... Mark Levin was incredible tonight. He absolutely destroyed the dims and media in one of his fieriest segments I’ve ever seen, and of course he was absolutely brilliant in his defense of Trump.

Anyone who missed it, I highly recommend recording the next showing.

I can't stand Hannity. I like his content but he is annoying beyond comprehension. When he is on, I scream at the TV


Same.

Generally screaming "SHUT THE frick UP" as he goes onto bleach bit for the 33,000th time while I'm trying to listen to Bongino or Carter.

I drive a lot lately and listen to him until he drives me nuts repeating himself which usually doesn't take long. When I find myself yelling at the radio, I switch to Bongino podcast and it's all better.

Limbaugh is still king of this market and will be till he dies. He's aware of the problem with repeating yourself and tries not to do it. Hannity is either unaware of it or just doesn't care and is going full propaganda style say it over and over and over and over and over and over to make your point. It's condescending. And he's not smart enough to condescend to me.

Hannity has a net worth of $200+ million.

I wish I was dumb like that.

Hannity is a patriot and smarter than given credit for and truly sees the other side for what they are with respect to so many things ranging from wealth redistribution to an absolute quest for power. He gets them for the Democrat, liberal, progressive, socialist and anti Americans they are and the policies the represent, seeking to hold them accountable on a daily basis. That is the lords work right there and deserves support.

I have watched his show off and on for years. It gets repetitive and he can grate on you a bit, but I still tune in if something major is going on.

Nobody watches Hannity - they only come to see what his guests may be able to wedge into his stale monologues and mind-numbing recitations of "33k e-mails, acid washed, bleach bit, hammered phones, ect."

THe problem is that he has some sort of high-level connection to what's really happening (maybe Trump himself???)

His guests are the draw - and I sometimes even tolerate his inanity to hear what Jon Sokomon, Sara Carter, et al can reveal before being cut off with his recitations.

Note that I only am disgusted by his time-consuming recitations of known facts - which limits the time that could be apportioned to his guests to fill out their revelations with more background information. He has made his show so unwatchable that I only tune in when I am aware of which guests he is going to highlight.

And I get mad every time.

But it is worth it to get exposure to REAL journalism - even it wedged in.

He’s a character, essentially the real life version of the caricature Colbert used for years on his show.

I agree with every word you said EXCEPT for the
quote:

part.

I find absolutely no intellectual content in what he himself says. I have never seen him utter an original thought or an impromptu analysis.

I HAVE seen him interrupt a guest who is halfway thru their explanation of what they just discovered to robotically recite his laundry list of crap that we have all known for two + years and then come back to say = 'we;re out of time'

HE is practically unwatchable - he has great guests and solid contacts.

Like most opinion media types, he's an actor. He's playing to an audience.

I never watch those shows, but I usually have to turn him off on the radio. I love the Dennis Prager show, really enjoy Larry Elder, but I feel like there's only one 30 minute Hannity segment that's been on loop for months or even years. Unlistenable.

Can you further articulate how you think he's "dumb"?

I won't hold my breath.


I think he has a low capacity for learning or understanding complicated topics. Or maybe he's just trying to communicate to an audience with those limitations.

Tough to say.

Right, he is not a 'news' journalist (if that even exists anymore).

And once you realize what is going on, then there is not reason to be upset.

He has no depth, because he's an actor.

He's no different than the actors on CNN or the Young Turks.

It's all a charade.

Absolutely right on /\

I will forever be thankful that Hannity was there to keep the candle lit during some dark days when this crap first broke. Thank GOD he had the sources to convince him that this was all a hoax.

I will admit that I wanted it to be a hoax - but just could not believe that the hound dogs they had looking into every aspect of Trump's life and that of his friends, family, and associates would not turn up SOMETHING - especially some instance of "Obstruction of Justice."

In those days the recitations of the 33K e-mail scenario needed to be imprinted on people's minds - and he made it so.

So - in unison =

But I can still get irritated who the dilution of his format with the now-stale blurb.

I didn't watch him last night a storm knocked out everything but the last time I watched him he was seriously talking over someone saying something I was glued to my TV to hear. He does call it all out but he needs to end his monologues and just go right to guests.

Every night is BUCKLE UP YOUR SEATBELTS and nothing ever happens. I think Hannity is Q, he may have a Q on his jacket pin-- bread makers seriously need to bake this. Even Hannity probably knows Trump was pointing out the word TRUMP on the baby at the NC rally.

I just saw on twitter that there may be a Naval ship by Epstein's island; it came in with the prison barge from Guantanamo Bay Cuba that HRC is on.
