"Hannity can be a good, aggressive interviewer when he wants to be, but whenever he interviews tv media bigshots, whether it's Russert or the ABC tv news people (whom he apparently thinks of as his cohorts more than anyone working at Fox News) Hannity goes easy, as if building connections with the MSM is important."
I agree. I have never trusted Hannity because of the way he sucks up to MSM liberals like Russert, Schieffer, Stephi, Sawyer, on and on. He will rail against the MSM but never mentions names. That is why I consider him such a phony. That and his subservient interviews with McCain. His dream is to appear on one of the sunday morning shows like MTP.
Rush has said this is why he doesn't do interviews on the show or hang out too much as the token conservative at "elite" parties--- he doesn't want to get too friendly with people he's going to have to come down hard on. I consider myself a fan of Hannity and I uderstand good manners, but I wish he would stop with the "I had a private conservation with Meredith Viera or Katie Couric in the green room and she actually has some very fascinating non-liberal views I can't talk about but you would be surprised at!"
