NYT Reporter: Hannity could be next to go at Fox News due to “almost propaganda-like attitude”
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/20/2017 7:38:44 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

During today’s Morning Joe discussion of the ouster of Bill O’Reilly at Fox News, Joe Scarborough asked, “Do they remake over the entire network? Is anybody else in the [Murdoch] family’s crosshairs right now?”

Replied New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters: “I think you have to look at somebody like Sean Hannity, and question whether or not his almost propaganda-like attitude and programming every night is going to be acceptable in the minds of the family, which is clearly trying to shift the network in a different direction.”

If true, it will make it all the more obvious that O’Reilly’s firing was over cooked-up fake claims.


Yup.

O’Reilly may or may not have made inappropriate comments but odds are he was Herman Cained.

Cavuto, Varney are always good, and Hannity is watchable when he has Newt and Laura as guests. ( Dobbs is becoming incoherent.)

If Hannity could be fired at Fox News for being a propagandist, why shouldn’t virtually everyone at MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times, etc., be fired?

One man's propaganda is another man's 'truth'................

The fact that Hannity didn't get his 9pm slot back is telling.
They gave it to the Five instead.

As far as his propaganda goes, recall:

Glad our arrogant Pres. is enjoying his taxpayer funded golf outing after announcing the US should take military action against Syria
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) Twitter September 4, 2013

When Hannity posted this he didn't know that Trump likes golf, or that Trump would shoot missiles at Syria.

I have never heard Hannity accused of impropriety with women.

People inside FNC have been referring to O’Reilly as “The Lecherous Leprechaun” for over a decade.

I saw this coming 5 years ago when FOX was taken over

 

Yep. The direction (downward) Fox News has taken has lead to these problems with O'Reilly and now possibly Hannity.

‘Fake news.’

+1

More fake than usual, though, since the leftie doesn’t even cite unnamed sources. His source is his personal opinion.

And still some get all worked up over it.

It’s an opinion show. Oh, that’s right... Conservatives are not allowed to have an opinion..

There have been rumors for some time of a group of investors who want to create a new conservative news network. The Murdoch’s are moving towards making that a reality (sooner) and it will really hurt Fox news.

Sean said that he didn’t want to give up his 10:00 slot...and I don’t think Sean cares one way or the other, he has his radio show, (one of the best out there) and he could get a job at the Trump White House if he wanted...

He’s worried about loosing FNC...ROFL...don’t think so...

Fox is FUBAR,

I first heard FUBAR working in a tech environment. I thought it was some Unix/Linux term.

Then I saw Saving Private Ryan and received an education.

Looks like a complete takeover by commies of all networks. Time to cancel cable and let their ratings plunge. We gave up cable over 5 years ago!

FUBAR’s brother SNAFU is a good one also.

Yet, the regular anchors on CNN and MSNBC were propagandists for Hillary.


No, you just don’t understand. It is never propaganda when they do it. It is the truth, or common sense or the morally correct point of view. Now, when vile right wingers spout their obvious lies, then that is propaganda.

Exactly. If they want to be known as the channel that thinks Shep Smith, Geraldo, and Juan Williams are the ideological representatives, then they might as well shut down now.

I think they already are!

Maybe Ailes will start his own news channel and bring in what Fox has let go.

I doubt this.

There have been several people at the network who have been let go.

Greta was one of them. OReilly another.

They were good, but I couldn’t stand to watch either one of them for a long time. I’m not sure why, but I just couldn’t.

Then there was the one lady, who left a couple months ago after locking horns with Trump. Yuck.

Hannity however is a pleasure to watch.

He’s very safe at Fox, I believe.
