In my opinion, the reasons for Hannity's plunge are simple- he's repetitive, he's good buddies with "good friends" Bob Beckel and Juan Williams or "The Architect" Karl Rove. Even John Sununu "The One Man Romney Wrecking Crew", turns out he didn't wreck much of anything.
Finally, he kept on saying "this election is the most important election of our lifetimes". However, the next day he was carrying on like it was no big deal. Then I remembered- 2004 "was the most important election of our lifetimes", then 2008 "was the most important election of our lifetimes.....
Finally, he needs to stop driving trains. In 2006, he had the "stop Pelosi Express", in 2008 he had the "Stop Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi Express"...same thing in 2012. Turns out all those trains got derailed.
Maybe next time, he needs an AC-130 Gunship.
I believe that viewers are dropping off of Fox for the same reason I have. We have just witnessed the most massive voter fraud in history and we don’t hear a peep about it. Obama’s plan to make himself ‘El-Presidente for Life’ can now not be stopped. There is nothing that will be done about it, so it’s time to plan for when TSHTF.
Beck is too much the showman, O'Reilly is too much the jerk. I just like Rush....dunno what I'll listen to when (if) he ever retires.
Rush used to call David Bonior the “Pit Yorkie” of the left.
Hannity is the Pit Yorkie of the Right. Constantly yapping, occassionally nipping, but in the end, he is of no true consequence.
Agree completely with everything you stated. That “train” crap is utterly pathetic, as is his unbelieveably irritating habit of repeating his inane points: “It’s not enough to X, it’s not enough to Y, it’s not enough to Z, it’s not enough to (blah, blah, blah).”
I’m actually listening to all of these shows much less nowadays, as they only appear to be stating the obvious and there is nobody actually doing anything to reverse the trend; they just complain about it and rant that things should be different.
Repetitive is exactly right. I feel like I am listening to a parrot when he’s on the radio.
Hannity has been a joke since around 2005.
I call his shows, “Conservatism for Beginners.”
Things come and go. There’s nothing new about that. It says more about Hannity than the public, at large.
Something happened to me when Obama was re-elected. I was stunned. It felt like I had been fed a bunch of hype.
I have not watched any tv news since November 6th. All I used to watch was FOX, but I can’t listen to it any longer. I feel like it’s over - the good guys have lost. I have no doubt that enough people feel the same way, thus the drop in all FOX ratings.
Don’t watch Fox, it’s not a conservative news station. Have subscribed to The Blaze and enjoy Glenn Beck.
He also said 2008 was the most important...actually he says a lot of stuff is the most important ever...
>I saw the news that Hannity’s rating are in the crapper.<
.
The guy sermonizes and whines at the same time.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he became a demokrat talkshow host.
(To be fair — I wish I had his hair.)
Hannity is first and foremost a Republican. He has to carry the banner for the party, no matter what. People get weary of that after a while. He will rebound because people also like to oppose the current government which is 2/3rds controlled by the Democratic Party.
Hannity is losing audience because he is not a Conservative, yet claims to be
Hannity is now pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty.....pushing Phony Con RINOs like Marco Rubio for President....and of course butt-surfing with Fox News Liberals like Rove and Dick Morris
Conservatives are wising up to the Fox News Liberals I
Hannity is one of the poorest interviewers in existence today. Has no clue what the meaning of “follow-up question” is. I think it’s because he doesn’t listen to his guests.
That or he’s genuinely stupid.
That's a big ouch.
Just sayin'....
Poor Sean—is his heart troubled yet?
Stopped listening to the news after the election. Why listen to the brainwashing? Now I listen to Christian radio and things seem to be much more positive.
Stopped listening to Hannity a year ago. His 5 min questions mostly about himself were hard to take.
Happy New Year
I quit listening to talk radio almost completely since the election. Can’t stomach the thought of listening to the Same Old S#!+ for another four years. Democrats this and obama that, investigate, blah blah blah.
Besides that Hannity’s the worst and his stupid laugh makes me want to hurl. Don’t even get me started on his liberal guests...
Hannity’s biggest problem, and one he cannot overcome, is that he is not particularly bright. Listening to Rush, and Levin especially, these guys are intellegent and always come up with a different slant on the news and politics.
To me, Hannity is sort of the populist yapper for the casual political junkie.
He’s not a deep thinker.
