Hannity said he posed for that photo.

When will he learn?

Rush has it figured out. They hate you. They want to destroy you. Don’t talk to the msm.

There is no journalism. There is only political activism.

Hannity approved the article, and I’ve heard it’s a fair one (haven’t read it yet). Who cares about the photo?

Do not trust the media. Do not give interviews. Do not ever pay for their rags.

Considering everything, I didn't think the article was really that bad, aside from a few snarky comments. It could have been much worse.

The Times is evil today. They wage evil vendettas instead of doing research, analysis, and reporting news.

What a shameful thing for a corporation that wants to be trusted. Probably that is due to immature management.

Somehow they need to be redirected.

MEMO TO THE TIMES: (My favorite work was in Strategic Planning". I would be glad to help you organize your processes to redirect your large corporation into productive and objective mission statements, make the plans to develop operations and organizations, get corporate approval of the strategic plan and then watch you execute it. Yes, I am seeking a job but only this one, if you are interested. Thanks.

What makes conservatives like Hannity, knowing full well how and what the New York Times is, genuflect to them, acknowledge them, whenever the Times deigns to lower its eyes and notice them? What would make Hannity pose like that for them, and then proclaim innocence because that was just one photo out of many? Did he really think the editors would choose one that puts him in a good light?

Remember the pictures of John McCain when the lefties considered him the enemy?

That local pile of puppy poo pads, the NY Slimes, is attempting to slap Hannity with the hand it manages to raise above the cesspool it’s drowning in. It attempts to hate, even in the act of dying. Kick the hand away and continue, Mr. Hannity.

Settle down Hannity. The more ‘exuberant’ ones are circulating and they’re just fine.

Thanks for posting!

May I repeat my previous post of some of Thomas Jefferson's statements on the "press" of his day?

"At a very early period of my life, I determined never to put a sentence into any newspaper. I have religiously adhered to the resolution through my life, and have great reason to be contented with it. Were I to undertake to answer the calumnies of the newspapers, it would be more than all my own time and that of twenty aids could effect. For while I should be answering one, twenty new ones would be invented. I have thought it better to trust to the justice of my countrymen, that they would judge me by what they see of my conduct on the stage where they have placed me, and what they knew of me before the epoch since which a particular party has supposed it might answer some view of theirs to vilify me in the public eye. Some, I know, will not reflect how apocryphal is the testimony of enemies so palpably betraying the views with which they give it. But this is an injury to which duty requires every one to submit whom the public think proper to call into its councils." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Smith, 1798. ME 10:58

"[I have seen] repeated instances of the publication of what has not been intended for the public eye, and the malignity with which political enemies torture every sentence from me into meanings imagined by their own wickedness only... Not fearing these political bull-dogs, I yet avoid putting myself in the way of being baited by them, and do not wish to volunteer away that portion of tranquillity, which a firm execution of my duties will permit me to enjoy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:226

"Conscious that there was not a truth on earth which I feared should be known, I have lent myself willingly as the subject of a great experiment, which was to prove that an administration, conducting itself with integrity and common understanding, cannot be battered down even by the falsehoods of a licentious press, and consequently still less by the press as restrained within the legal and wholesome limits of truth. This experiment was wanting for the world to demonstrate the falsehood of the pretext that freedom of the press is incompatible with orderly government. I have never, therefore, even contradicted the thousands of calumnies so industriously propagated against myself. But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood, I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth. Within that, it is a noble institution, equally the friend of science and of civil liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Seymour, 1807. ME 11:155

"My opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted so as to be most useful [is]... 'by restraining it to true facts and sound principle only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:224

"Perhaps an editor might begin a reformation in some such way as this. Divide his paper into four chapters, heading the 1st, Truths. 2nd, Probabilities. 3rd, Possibilities. 4th, Lies. The first chapter would be very short, as it would contain little more than authentic papers and information from such sources as the editor would be willing to risk his own reputation for their truth. The second would contain what, from a mature consideration of all circumstances, his judgment should conclude to be probably true. This, however, should rather contain too little than too much. The third and fourth should be professedly for those readers who would rather have lies for their money than the blank paper they would occupy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:225

"An editor [should] set his face against the demoralizing practice of feeding the public mind habitually on slander and the depravity of taste which this nauseous aliment induces. Defamation is becoming a necessary of life, insomuch that a dish of tea in the morning or evening cannot be digested without this stimulant. Even those who do not believe these abominations, still read them with complaisance to their auditors, and instead of the abhorrence and indignation which should fill a virtuous mind, betray a secret pleasure in the possibility that some may believe them, though they do not themselves. It seems to escape them, that it is not he who prints, but he who pays for printing a slander, who is its real author." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:225
