It is considered good ethics for a reporter to say when they are connected to a case. For instance, when a local radio station talked about Clear Channel, they will say that they (the station) are part of Clear Channel.
For all this freak out, I wonder what they have in those files. Or rather they think there is something rather specific there.
I think you are referring to George Stefanopolis's disclaimer at the beginning of his shows.
I admire him for his openness.
What connection does Sean Hannity have with this case?
I don’t think anyone considers Hannity a “reporter.” Would anyone be shocked to learn he has a bias? Is that something he has hidden?
That’s the funny thing though Sean is not a news journalist or reporter. Although he actually reports more than MSM. He’s an opinion talk show host! And doesn’t claim to be a non-objective journalist.
