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.

Sean Hannity = the epitome and definition of "a sell out"!

Seat Rich was murdered but Sean will continue to protect his $20 MILLION DOLLAR FAU "news" paycheck. All he had to do is back off and keep his mouth shut and that's exactly what he did.

Enjoy your millions at the cost of the truth you loser.

Last night's Hannity made it perfectly clear he was given an ultimatum. He cloaked it in “respect for the family” but I think it is obvious it was back off, or get a pink slip.

This shows the true direction the liberal children want to take the Network. Never mind that his show is a huge money maker. And never mind that every other network runs with anonymous sources and a running conspiracy narrative for 9 months now.

No doubt about it. Don’t blame him. What else could he do?

Yeah, I think the family is just cover for the fact he was told to shut this down by his employers.

There is no doubt that the bloody deeds of the Clinton’s will one day be public knowledge.

The only question is if these spawn of Satan face justice in their lifetimes. It could be several generations before the full extent of their crimes is known

I’m beginning to think that also...

re: “sloppy hit job”

That’s one thing that makes conspiracy theories look dubious, this was a shaky, unreliable way to “off” someone (he might have survived, and/or he might have talked to EMS/Police/hospital staff as long as he was still alive) — not a professional job at all. Even if someone wanted to make it “appear” to be other than a professional job, they would surely guarantee that he stopped breathing quickly (bullet in the heart or head), even if they made the crime scene look sloppy so it would not appear to be a “pro” involved.

Perhaps it wasn't a “pro”, but another person indebted to the DNC?

Kind of like in the movies where the gangsters tell the new guy to kill someone to show they are loyal.. . several other scenarios would fit the nonprofessional hit.

He said previously to this that he was going to back off the story. He didn’t cave, he said he would return to it when warranted, then he felt attacked about the story and said he was going to back off of it because fox news 5 retracted a story.

“The Seth Rich murder conspiracy is a lot less far fetched than Trump allegedly colluding with the Russians.”....

....Agreed, and there is a whole lot of corroborating evidence to support the Seth Rich was murdered as a reprisal for leaking DNC info.

...ask Donna ‘buffalo head’ Brazille why she was so shuck up over Hillary’s tirade about them all ‘having nooses around their necks’....

It does not matter whether Rich was the leaker or not. LIke Podesta pointed out. FOr us, the important thing is tying Podesta to the murder.

Facts and evidence matter in a court of Law where it ain’t pretty obvious just what the facts are and the court has an interest in objectivity. In other cases, obvious is good enough. Let me phrase it this way, if Khrushchev had been assasinated in Red Square how much evidence would you need to realize the probability of any EXTERNAL group to successfully pull that off is close to zero. THings that make you go Hmmmmm.....

SOmetimes evidence ain’t needed, especially when you ain’t going to get it anyway.

Things really are simple. No need to complicate. Trump said he would Drain The Swamp. Did anybody seriously think the Swammo wouldn’t fight back?
