Sean Hannity: Trump frustrates 'fake news' media at every turn
Fox News (Not So Fake Edition) ^ | February 21, 2017 | Sean Hannity

President Trump is once again showing he is no longer going to put up with the out-of-control left-wing media bias. And this weekend in Florida, the president once again took direct aim at these corrupt news organizations.

“The dishonest media, which has published one false story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have them, they make them up in many cases,” Trump said over the weekend. “And they've been calling us wrong now for two years. They don't get it, but they're starting to get it, I can tell you that. They've become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system.

Trump’s broadside continued as he labeled the press an “enemy of the people” and rallied his supporters directly – instead of allowing his words to be filtered through the abusively biased media.

Always liked Sean, thought he was a little too easy on the Rat criminals, but he is a good advocate.

When Kennedy was running for President, my daddy told me not to believe everything you read....then told me about a famous boot leger.

The mainstream media is no longer a primary source of news for most people. It’s an entertainment outlet, where one goes to watch vile people scream and try to tear down each other. Similar to watching wrestling; you know it’s fake setups but is watched because you need entertainment while chomping on snacks and drinks. President Trump is a voice for all of us in calling out the fake news media for the charlatans they are. It’s fake, folks. Enjoy your snacks but don’t believe the media wrestlers.

“There’s a history of what ‘enemy of the people’ … means as used by dictators and authoritarians, including Stalin, including Hitler.”

ABSOLUTE DISHONESTY HERE!

Those dictators took over the press to Spread Lies, we are trying to get the press TO STOP SPREADING LIES!

YOU ARE WHAT YOU WARN AGAINST, LYING POS’S

That is an accurate and excellent point.

I have often criticized Hannity for interrupting and talking over guests, which he still does. But he is now one of only two Fox shows - him and Greg Gutfeld - which I truly enjoy. The reason? Both add a dose of humor and lightness, which I think is desperately needed.

And - although I am not an evangelical Christian - I think The Hal Lindsey Report offers insights on current events that are often as good or better than those offered on secular TV.

Somebody said yesterday, “A dictator uses and owns the press, he does not do battle with it.” If you are doing battle with the press, you are - by definition - not a dictator.

Yes and I take it the resignation of a FCC official means the idea of pushing for internet regulation is off the table.

Hannity does that, and it seems to me that he does to reiterate his talking point facts (which are accurate) that someone involved in the conversation is trying to dance around.

Overall he delivers a pleasant informative show, I like him more now than before.
