Moore did it to himself. Hannity put some questions to Moore in which the answers should have been categorically “no”. It’s not Hannity’s fault that Moore had a thing for teenagers while in his mid-30’s. The whole point of the Hannity interview was for Moore to clear his name. Moore failed.


Agreed. Moore confirmed he was a creep.

Please, however, look up the Steve Kroft "Stand by Your Man" disinformational styled interview, and compare it to the Hannity prosecutorial styled interview. That is the point I am trying to make. Double standard.

At this point, "double standard" goes without saying. However, whether intending to or not, you are saying that Moore required softball questions in order to survive. The accusations were coming in hard and fast, and Moore whiffed. It's like when you ask someone "have you ever been convicted of a felony?". You want the answer to be "no.", not "well, not actually convicted."

An even more egregious example of bias was in Charles Gibson's hammering of Sarah Palin in a on-on-one interview shortly after she was chosen as McLame's running mate. His Obama interview consisted of such tough questions as "when did you realize that Michelle was 'the one'?"
