Nolte: The Media’s ‘Sean Hannity Standard’ Is a Wonderful Idea!
breitbart ^ | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 04/17/2018 8:54:12 AM PDT by davikkm

From what we know so far, conservative talker Sean Hannity had a limited business relationship with Michael Cohen, who is also President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, and who just had his offices, home, and hotel room raided by the FBI. Because Hannity is a commentator with four hours to fill every day, he has a lot to say about the raid. But now that a partisan judge (to say the least — the swamp is deep, my friends) has forced Cohen to reveal that Hannity is a client, everyone in the establishment media (read those with much lower ratings than Hannity) have the knives out because Hannity did not reveal this potential conflict of interest.

So desperate are they to bloody Hannity, the media have just done a very good thing with the creation of what we will call the “Sean Hannity Standard,” a standard that demands commentators and reporters disclose any and all potential conflicts-of-interest pertaining to the story or person they are reporting on.

What a wonderful idea!

Over at the far-left Politico, Michael Calderone writes, that Hannity “should have disclosed that he’s a client of Cohen’s.”

I don’t see why Hannity would be embarrassed by anyone knowing he used Cohen for legal assistance.

I didn’t say he was embarrassed I said the congressman that said he should be fired was a hypocrite.

Here it is again:
“”I called Gerry Connolly’s office who said Hannity should be fired. Asked his staff when the Congressman would be calling for the termination of ABC chief Political corespondent Little Georgie Stephanopolous seeing as he is obviously conflicted as a former Clinton press secretary communications director and as revealed during the presidential debates, donor to the Clinton Foundation.””

And No, his son Joe Buck:

Joseph Francis Buck (born April 25, 1969) is an American sportscaster and the son of sportscaster Jack Buck.

I simply brought forward that Cohen and his team said disclosure of client 3 would cause the client embarrassment. Why would Hannity be embarrassed?

I wasn't aware Jack Bucks son was a sportscaster.

The real story here is not that Hannity used Trump’s lawyer; the real story is why in the hell has this been made public by government officials? This has nothing to do with anything political or legal going on right now. This being made public is even more disgusting than the FBI raiding the president’s lawyers office.

If I misunderstood your context I apologize, I was replying to this comment:

To: edzo4 Little Georgie’s association with the Clintons is widely known. Hannity’s with Cohen wasn’t......until now.

Have a good day!

How do we get the truth about all this? I had read elsewhere(possibly on FR)that Michael Cohen & Sean Hannity were not connected in any business sense;just friends.

Oh gawd, that would quickly expose how many reporters have close links to the Democratic Party or major Democratic Party donors
