No, he should have kept his mouth shut. No journalist should endorse a candidate, not that Hannity has ever been much of a journalist.

I don’t think Hannity is a journalist, but I could be wrong. I think someone who hosts an opinion show can voice an opinion. Waiting until Trump was the nominee was a pretty fair thing to do.

Get over yourself. Hannity, etc are not journalists, nor do they say they are. They are opinionists.

If you don’t like their opinions, don’t listen.

Trump is the presumptive nominee, the only candidate left in the race on the Republican side. Hannity is a conservative commentator not a “journalist”. Apparently you do not know the difference. Think Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchannan, Laura Ingram, Anne Coulter, etc., etc., etc... Do you get it now? Strangely enough all of those commentators have also announced that they are for party unity and are for Trump as well.

No journalist should endorse a candidate...

Except for Cruz, of course.

Stop being so clueless. Hannity is not a journalist. He’s a pundit. A commentator. He’s never even pretended to be a journalist.

No journalist should be against a candidate either. But, since over 90 % of journalists are Democrats, what do you expect. It is refreshing to see someone break the mold. Go Hannity.

Hannity is not a journalist. He is a commentator, like O’Reilly. He has said repetitively (like most things he says) that he is a registered Conservative. His TV and radio shows/programs are not intended to be objective.

Jack, Jack, Jack...get your head out of your butt. Hannity is not a journalist. He is a radio and television commentator.

Now, how in the world can you hope to post an opinion if you don't know your facts?

He doesn’t claim to be a journalist. He’s a talk show host who argues in favor of conservative opinions.

Anyway, give us some examples of journalists, editors, commentators talk show hosts, any talking heads that you consider to be objective.
