Sean Hannity Is Going to War With FOX News: "I Am Not FOX News.com, I Retract Nothing,"
Vice News ^ | May 23 2017, 5:00pm | MIKE PEARL

The FOX News host is refusing to stop his investigation into the grisly murder of Seth Rich.

Sean Hannity, FOX News host went out on a limb Tuesday in defense of his coverage, calling his critics "phony hypocrites." Hannity wants to know who killed Seth Rich, even if the mainstream media and his own colleagues want him to stop.

The murder of Seth Rich, a young Democratic National Committee staffer, has inspired a lot of speculation in the right-wing media and on FOX, the gist of which is that he was murdered by Democratic operatives as revenge for being a whistleblower who delivered the notorious DNC emails to WikiLeaks. If Rich were the leaker, the thinking goes, there wouldn't have been any Russian hacking, therefore the entire investigation into the Trump campaign's Russian connections would be nonsense.

But the theory is bigger than any one figure—it's so huge it has its very own subreddit.

Hannity spent much of Tuesday tweeting about Rich. His big "source" is Kim Dotcom, a New Zealand webpreneur. Dotcom has been claiming for days that he knew Rich, and that he has information that proves Rich had delivered a collection of DNC emails to WikiLeaks. On Tuesday, what was revealed was a blog post at Dotcom's website, Kim.com, about a person in 2014 who went by "Panda" chatting with Dotcom about "corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics." Dotcom claims that Panda was Rich and hinted vaguely about more to be revealed in the future. On Tuesday night, Hannity is scheduled to interview Dotcom on his show.

Throughout Tuesday afternoon, Hannity carried on talking about the Seth Rich case on his radio show. Times.

"I am not FOX.com or FOXNews.com. I retract nothing," he told listeners.

Yeah that boycott thing is baloney - you get enough viewers folks will advertise. An easy way to get them past the whinning and bitching is to lower your prices for a bit. Or offer their competition better rates, production studio whatever. There are ways to combat this beside oh crap lets take the number one show in all cable news off because of a boycott.

Liberals don't have the numbers they like you to think they do hence the abortion and importation of illegal (democrat voters).

We are supposed to believe a bunch of liberals were watching BOR - O'reilly is out not because advertisers got skittish - the logic and his demographics would say otherwise. Its because the murdoch brothers are going hard left. Oreilly just made it easy by being a grab ass or something equivalently stupid and BORish

I don’t deny that. And you’re right about Rush, too.

Yeah I do not see anything having to do with going to war with Fox. Title is a leftist mis-leader. I do see a quieting of the noise while the investigation continues.

It’s not just Media Matters but there are other Soros funded groups attacking him plus all the lone nuts jobs that want to see him gone.

People might blow off Hannity but he’s pretty much alone at Fox.

Plus, Seth Rich’s family doesn’t want to know that truth if it involves the democrats.

The EXTREME RADIOACTIVITY of mere mention of Seth Rich in the media SHOULD TELL ANYONE WITH A BRAIN THAT SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS IS BEING COVERED UP HERE.

Absolutely!!!!

Which is why the left wants to make Hannity radioactive. Make him look like an extreme nut, meanwhile CNN and the other lefty news outlets push a the fake Russia story.

Wow! After all of the dead bodies left behind by the Clintons, this one may actually stick. Prayers that the massive corruption of Obama/Clinton/DNC is revealed.

They all make mistakes.

And they had duped themselves into believing Hillary would win the election. This could explain the sloppiness. Combine it with the report of Hillary’s comment last fall that they will hang from nooses if Trump wins.

I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. But something like this would not surprise me.

Boost OAN. Ledger and Liz Wheeler would be a good pair of shows as a lead into a new Sean show.

Hiring thugs to do the job, then cleaning up the “loose ends” using the pros (when no one is looking) is right out of the playbook Fogel and Creamer talked about. They hire unsavory people, for instance, whi light the match of violence at recent College Commencement speeches, then the snowflake lambs follow. BTW, perhaps something was stolen off Seth Rich? Has anybody mentioned that he carried with him a usb device?

See my post above. I am taking seriously what Creamer and Fogel revealed about their dark methods. Then I’m reading what the autists at Reddit are digging up. Then observing the way people are clamming up. Oh, don’t forget that Creamer worked for Pres. Clinton most likely when Kathleen Willey was threatened by a jogger and her cat was slaughtered. The Clinton’s are ruthless. That is what their former bodyguard in AR told us. The Obamas are cut from the same cloth. The idealists among us focus on preserving the Republic but to accomplish this we must understand the method of the nihilists who are destroying it.

It is apparent that if you state/yell the theory often enough, most people accept it as fact.

murdered by Democratic operatives

AKA Clinton Crime Family operatives.

The Clinton trail is littered with dead bodies. I pray their bloody deeds will be uncovered.

Ditto- Divine Intervention is definitely requested to cut through all the smoke and twists of spindly webs of deceit.

As opposed to "authentic hypocrites"?
