Well, you can’t lump all Marines in with that nutcase...but I get your point.
So am I. His monologue is overly-long with a too-rapid-fire delivery which is chock-full of "who's, what's, where's, when's and whys" to the point that the it takes a genius to keep up, to assimilate, to process, to connect dots and to know what the blazes he's getting at.
A smart host of his type of show would open up with, for instance, a short, attention-grabbing intro and a top-notch guest for a riveting interview. Skip the opening monologue altogether or people like me will be reaching for their clickers!
I love Sean dearly for his tenacity and courage and his gold-plated conservative credentials. However his monologues are of epic proportions and yet another indication of how he loves the sound of his own voice......his awful habit of constantly over-talking and cutting off the remarks of his guests in mid-sentence being already well known.
I want Hannity to succeed forever, but a show of any kind has to grab the viewer right away. That's a "show-biz" maxim. Or else, like me, they will flip to another station...
I flip over to "Cops" till I know that the Hannity monologue and the ensuing multiple commercials are over...then I resume watching.
(As the old saying goes, I write this "more in sorrow than in anger")

LOL, Sean Vanity
Excellent points. Co-sign.
I understand but he has a few million listeners that may not listen to other sources. We need him to take it to the old media enemy, and that he does. Personally, I never listen to him because I don’t have access at times that are convenient. I am an odd duck that believes we must all band together with those that have common interests or defeat will be our portion. Regardless, I consider you an ally too.
Congratulations, Headstamp 2....you've won my Freepy Award for the Best Word-Play of the Week....maybe even the month, LOL.
Pro-Hannity monologues or anti-Hannity monologues, your pun perfectly illustrated my critique in my above post #202 !

MinuteGal, thank you for your post and validating that how I feel about Sean’s monologue is like yours. I hope Sean reads FR and gets the message ASAP. Like you, I turn him for for about 15 minutes and then go back to watch his show.
Anyone on FR who has contact with Sean, please tell him to read our comments!!!
Sean used to read FR as did O'Reilly and Ingraham....don't know if HE still does....but his research staff will probably alert him to this thread.
It won't hurt for freepers to contact him. I doubt if his office opens links due to virus concerns, so write in the title of this thread in your email.
Snail mail is always best for contacting any of these TV hosts, however.

Personally, I never got the guy. He doesn’t come across as very bright. His arguments for or against something could be heard on any high school gym floor.
I would like to know how he’s installing HVAC one year to now be in his position as a political pundit for a major network.
I don’t get the pull this guy has.
I find him boring.
When Bob Grant got fired from WABC, Hannity took his slot.
He wasn't fit to shine Bob Grant's shoes (unlike Mayor Dinkins).
Nighttime hour and 3 hour daytime.
At times he covers positions that others will not. During the Terri Schiavo controversy, he was one of the very few in the media to support Terri and her parents.
Yes and the bashers and everyone for that matter needs to realize not everyone is well informed. I can remember when I was too busy working and raising kids to keep myself well informed day to day. I depended on FOX news- Hannity & O’Reilly to know even some of what was going on. I spent some time here on FR but didn’t have much time for that.
It is old news for many of us now by the time Hannity discusses things but not old news for most of his viewers I would bet.
I no longer watch TV at all, but I now have much more time to try to be informed- no hate from me to Hannity or anyone else that is trying to get the word out.
No one has to watch him, but wish they wouldn’t bash him, he is an important messenger.
We conservatives only have a handful of folks on our side...in a sea of liberal propagandist.
Heck...look at Trump. I can't stand that abrasive, childish, nonsense he does...but damn glad he’z president rather than Hillary.

You expressed EXACTLY how I feel....and how many, many more people feel, also.

Agree!
Bunch of old grumpies.
