> Hannity
Tucker Carlson has overtaken Hannity in the ratings. Sean is self-destructing before our very eyes. He’s a media whore, just like Geraldo. Sean is attracted to disaster and when he does you can’t slap him out of it. He’ll eventually wither and “retire”.
Everything is happening around him and all he can do is react. He’s weak and unfocused. But I have no idea what I’m talking about.

You know, you’re exactly right.
Years ago, I wondered about Sean’s state of mind, in doing three super hyping hours on radio and his FOX prime hour.
Negative energy that resounding for all these years, he’s finally destroyed his own show, with his entrenched bad interview habits and repetitive ramblings.
Tucker is edgy for me, but he’s a thinker and Sean is totally a reactor. Tuck has come up with some fascinating stuff, especially recently.
I just wrote Hannity with my observations. Number one is why he give Mark Cuban a platform. Cuban endorsed Biden on his show last night I understand. That confirms what I already thought and it makes no sense. He cuts off guests just as they are about to tell really good stuff and lets Cuban blather. I asked who has gotten to him and if Cuban pays to be on the show. I do wonder why he has become so predictable.
I lost respect for Sean when he made a point of calling out the people that were exercising open carry in Michigan during a Wuhan protest. He thinks carrying a firearm is dangerous. Also, his constant I’ll wear a mask, and social distance just to go to an NFL game. At that point, I was done.
You make a lot of sense IMHO, SB. Hannity always relied on repetition of talking points and living in the echo chamber filled by his own voice, which made him unlistenable for me. Unlike Rush, Tucker, Judge Jeanine, and many other of the Fox News opinion hosts, Hannity lacks the mental acumen to develop any kind of insight or put forth a persuasive argument. He’s like Bluto in Animal House constantly going “Yeah! Who’s with me!” and for years he had lots of sycophants who would be right behind him. But now, trying to appeal to “independents” or whatever you want to call it, he’s in way over his head and flailing.
It’s worth adding I think that Tucker Carlson isn’t shy about sharing his opinions, but most of the time they are issue-oriented opinions, not political ones. In other words, he will argue passionately for or against an issue but does not frame it in R vs D. Last night was an exception because as he said, the Republicans are the only power base we have that can reverse what’s going on so we have to rely on them and support them.
Hardly a rousing endorsement but accurate. I agree with him, not because they’re much better than Democrats in most cases but because they’re the only game in town.
