Hannity: ‘What Has Been Happening to Me in the Last Week Is a Kill Shot"
Breitbart ^ | 5/31/17 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 05/31/2017 9:21:59 PM PDT by bobk333

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” host Sean Hannity used his opening monologue to address what he called “a well-funded, well-orchestrated campaign” against him and his show that included targeting his advertisers.

Hannity was criticized over the past few weeks for his willingness to discuss former DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder, an individual who some have claimed was the source of emails leaked to Wikileaks last year?

Sean basically says out of respect for the family’s wishes he won’t talk about it for now, but he will keep investigating and report any new developments which he expects soon.

I think the unidentified male voice was Wolf Blitzer asking the questions.

Sure he will. My take is that they put the pressure to him and he folded like a cheap suit. You will never see hannity take the lead on this story, He will only repeat what others say after the road is plowed.

Tonight he looked tired. I’ll bet he’s not having a good time. The libs will not give up easy but they will end up losing.

Well, look at O’Reilly. I have no doubt he harrassed some women and paid them off, but that was old news. What they managed to do is organize a “kill shot” at his advertiser that was timed precisely to coincide with the leak of the harrassment settlement story. Leak —> Shoot —> Kill.

They also held their fire until the Murdock idiot sons were in charge, probably knowing that the old man might step in otherwise.

It was a well-organized execution. The bigger shame is that no one on our side has the brains or guts to do the same against the Left.

They may not get Hannity this time, but you can bet they’re working on it and biding their time.

Whatever. The only really major media figure taking this on and you criticize. It doesn’t matter if he repeats after the road’s been plowed. If he says its true it becomes news.

The best thing about Sean’s show is he does have a great research staff. I think he’s sincere about both the family and about investigating. It’s not like Fox is his only gig at this point. He also has his radio program, one of the biggest, and not dependent on Fox in any way.

As far as I know, Hannity is the only media figure that solidly backed Trump from day 1.

Sounds to me that hannity has rethought his position on boycotts against advertisers.To win against the left you have to fight fire with fire period.

Something happened behind the scenes. I think the "respect the families wishes" was the line they gave him to back out of the story. Something much larger at play. I don't fault him but think you are correct he will not be leading the charge on it.

Well, who knows what that pressure entailed? It may have been more than just threats about his job and future livelihood; it may have been threats to his family. Who knows?

I guess you could get out there, take the lead and plow the road yourself. Then Sean would have something to repeat. I’m sure he’d be grateful for the help.

And who are you to criticize Sean Hannity for what he is doing and fighting for?

Or I should say Who do you think you are?

So did Eric Bolen...and they are killing his career by putting him on a show with Eboni Williams...who NEVER shuts up. I hardly know what Eric’s opinion on anything is!

It is my speculation that the Trump Team gave Sean information that revelations about Seth Rich were in the works. The effort should be to cut off the head of the snake. To give a mortal blow to Russiagate would be the revelation that Seth Rich was the source of the DNC email leaks and a person was arrested as his killer. I think President Trump already knows and once he has his F.B.I Director in place and the intelligence community cleaned out of the Obama holdovers, we should see the dominoes fall.

When Trump is very quiet about a situation, you know something is up.

And yet we have the financial power to put all of the antagonizers out of business.

In terms of traction, I’ve been batting a big fat zero with the following point: There are 4 major corporations largely responsible for the corrupt MSM: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, CBS.

65 million Trump supporters across the Country have the means to determine the shape of the MSM by denying patronage to the aforementioned. But folks would rather focus on the bit players in the MSM. Why?

The other point concerns CNN’s dismissal of Kathy Griffin. It’s not the clock being correct twice the day. CNN is a Time Warner property. AT&T is looking to buy out TWC. Trump has previously expressed concerns about the merger/buy. And now Griffin is stinking up the whole deal... but no one talks about this. Why?

I don’t understand the preference to bitch about the minions instead of the parent companies that have them on the payroll.

Apologies. I had your ear.

I think I am a contributing American, I pay taxes and I spend money. I am also a paying consumer of the media. I made it clear that I was expressing my opinion. If you don't like it, I recommend you avoid my post in the future. But rest assured, I will keep expressing my opinion.
