Angry Fox News executives ordered host Sean Hannity to abandon plans to broadcast his nightly show as part of a Tea Party rally in Cincinnati on Thursday after top executives learned that he was set to headline the event, proceeds from which would benefit the local Tea Party organization.

Wait...WHAT? Oh No! It would have been great to see that. Like Beck at San Antonio last year!

Wasn’t Cavuto in Georgia at their Tea Party today?

Of course, he made an ass of himself badgering Ginny Thomas......sigh.

Why would they do this when they just had Cavuto at the Atlanta TP?

It may be the fundraising aspect of it.

Who would trust anything the Los Angeles times reports?

Get the truth of the story from the Tea Party folks and Hannity.

They did it because the organizers were making money from charging admission to the live taping. Fox execs claim they didn’t know. I wonder if Atlanta organizers were charging for Cavuto?

The news said Hannity had an emergency in New York, personal.

As others point out, Cavuto is doing his show from tea party rally. The ticket price was $5 I doubt that would pay for the rent of the place.

I guess we will have to wait for Sean to tell us what is going on.

“The news said Hannity had an emergency in New York, personal.”

Which “news” ?

Having just returned from a rally at Washington state's capital, I noticed that the rally (and maybe just this one) is becoming a opportunity for self serving interests (talk show hosts, bloggers, button sellers, candidates ...). An "elite" seems to be forming.

To me, that is the opposite of what the Tea Party protestors are about. How long before there is a tea party caucus?

People have to pay to go to a protest? It’s a shame Fox has latched onto these. I guess it is hard since they have mostly commentators on the channel, but it just feels off to me.

Looks like FOX is caving in to the liberal bass turds.

“Why would they do this when they just had Cavuto at the Atlanta TP?”

According to the article, Cavuto was there covering the Rally for Fox as a news story. Hannity allowing himself to be a headliner at the Cincinnati TP was no longer covering the news; but, instead was drawing money for the Party organizers as participant.

I think that’s what it says...

I watched that start to finish. No “badgering,” in my view.

But then, I don’t subscribe to the “conservatives as victims” mentality; it wins no voters over to waste time on it.

I think it was stadium rental.

I would say we need to hear from Sean what’s really going on. For now I wouldn’t trust anything the lame stream is saying.

Why isn’t this being reported more about the Arab connection controlling Fox News? This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Conservatives, you can’t trust anything come from Fox News until the Arab funding of Rupert Murdoch’s empire is fully exposed.
