Sean: If you didn’t get a retraction within your time limit, sue them. Don’t “CONSIDER” doing it. Just do it!
Bullshit walks, lawsuits talk!
The “consider” part is to avoid a claim that Hannity and his attorney are engaging in extortion.

You couldn't be more ignorant. It is very easy and inexpensive to send a demand letter. A demand letter is sent in the hope of ending the controversy before the much more expensive act of instituting litigation. Lawyers who hose their clients on billing don't have clients for very long.
START SUING THESE LIARS!!
