The person on Fox who disappoints me the most is Sean “Vanity”
Hannity. He gets great guests to be on his show, and he never lets them talk—either he gives never ending intros that eat up valuable time, or he cuts off people right as they are going to make a great point. He just can’t help himself. And he repeats the same stuff over and over and over. Laura Ingraham seems to have the same problems as Vanity, but her programs are more informative, and she has the great Raymond Arroyo as a recurring segment host.
I started watching Greg Kelly on Newsmax, and his programs are so much more informative and easy to watch and listen to than Vanity. I’m also a big Chris Plante fan, although the producers seem to have given Mercedes Schlapp a co-hosting role on “The Right Squad”.
I believe that Steve Bannon has lost some high-quality guests on his show for his actions similar to Hannity’s. He used to bring in excellent guests, then NEVER let them talk. He’s in love with his own voice, and uses up his guests’ valuable time with his rants. Now, he has fewer guests, and they’re not as interesting or knowledgeable as they used to be.
Let the people talk!!
Newsmax is great. Rob Schmitt and Carl Higbie take no prisoners. After watching these guys, you can see how far Faux has fallen.

His radio show is the same. On a blue moon I’ll be flipping stations and stop on his. His guests are props. As soon as they start to say something new, informative, or salient, Hannity jumps all over them, then starts spewing one of his often regurgitated paragraphs that almost never changes. How many times did you hear the phrase “the russia hoax with the bought and paid for, dirty dossier”. I bet I could turn on Hannity later this afternoon and not have to wait 15 minutes (not counting lengthy commmercial breaks) for that phrase to pop up
Cavuto is a terrible interrupter as is Arthel Neville...among others.
