Amid ongoing turmoil at Fox News, an internal battle appears to be brewing between top executives and one of the last remaining vestiges of the lineup that made the network a powerhouse in cable news — Sean Hannity.
Hannity has gone “underground” and is actively considering whether or not he will return to Fox News on Tuesday, a source close to Hannity told Independent Journal Review. It's a stunning development at the network, which has seemingly remained in a constant state of turmoil since the ouster of the late Roger Ailes.
Speculation ran wild earlier this week when the network announced Hannity would be taking a mid-week vacation amid controversy over the host’s promotion of unverified reports suggesting a link between murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich and his alleged contact with WikiLeaks. Hannity is currently facing threats of advertiser boycotts from liberal groups like Media Matters. Multiple companies have since pulled ads from “Hannity.”
In response to the rumors, a Fox News spokesperson said Hannity would “be back on Tuesday” after his Memorial Day weekend vacation, and people who “suggest otherwise are going to look foolish.”
But the well-placed source said Hannity has since retreated to isolation — even temporarily “swearing off” social media — while he makes a decision regarding his future at Fox News. Hannity’s last tweet was posted on Thursday afternoon.

Whatever happened to Gretta Van Susteren? She was never a flake or a bimbo...
Sean, wherever you go, we will follow you. Prayers up that you’ve got the right people and you can make your dreams come true. Rather than a setback, this could be the biggest opportunity.
Hope you have a lot of freeze dried food and beer in your underground bunker.
Not freeze dried beer.
That would be weird. Crunchy beer.
Hang in there. Prayers up.
The journalism schools and the rest have gone the way of big government, hit people with student loans and pay the administrators mid six figures and only allow the left to speak so when they give free tuition out the admins will still get mid 6 figures.
They had a niche ( more than a niche). To be crappy like CNN, they will have NOTHING.
EXCELLENT POST.
Really, these points should be on the top of every newspaper and news program. Irrefutable as circumstantial evidence. But we have no freedom of the press.
How is CNN respectable. If FOX becomes like CNN, I will simply watch whatever fictional show catches my fancy.
The only thing the political/corporate elite need to do now is overturn/control elections and the job will be complete.
Mark Levin went that route with LevinTV and CRTV on ths internet.
Dad foolishly gave the keys to his beloved Ferrari to Junior, who is about to run it off the interstate, into a swamp.
The boy obviously has no clue about marketing, branding, etc.
Dennis Prager would say, he must have gone to a really elite university.
...Van Susteren?

Her only asset was conducting good interviews.
That's a good idea. Let Fox burn and start a new channel without trying to be fair and balanced. How about a news channel that is just honest and accurate?
Hannity is a short timer anyway. He is moving to either FL or TX as soon as his son graduates HS. He wants out of NY. This may be Sean’s opportunity to leave Fox News. When Ailles left Hannitys free agent clause kicked in. He can get out of his contract anytime.
Chisel that in stone and erect it in the town square! We are in a civil war! ...let us pray it does not become a shooting war!
Dr. Hillary Faustus... & Mephistopheles? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
He owns a home in NY now on sale for $3.6 million. He takes home $30 million a year from radio and TV shows, books, appearances, etc. His 2016 net worth was $80 million.
Looks like he has a lot of walkin'-around money to keep corned beef and cabbage on his table if worst comes to worst on Fox.
The Morlock brothers are such fools. But they have plenty of walkin'-around money, too....so who knows if they give a rip if their two star attractions (O'Reilly and Sean) are no longer on board.

Maybe pretty soon Rupert will falling in the dementia tray and will be total dependents of his Libtards and evil sons !!!
