What connection does he have with the Cohen-Trump case? Stop deflecting and answer the question.
As I see it this is all about Dems “crippling” or “destroying” Fox news......just another chapter of late...especially since Hannity is the big boy on the block..
You stop deflecting.
He (Hannity) talked about the Cohen raid on his show. He (Hannity) Should have disclosed that he had a lose connection to Cohen in his show. If he had done that, this would be a smaller (bigger?) nothing burger than it is now.
Hannity made a very common mistake, but again I have family in the news buz and that is what they are taught to do for just this reason.
Now everyone is saying “Hannity is an entertainer”. Well he is. He is an opinion piece guy and talk show host. The local talk show guy by me (Jim Fisher) makes an effort to disclose any connections like that on his show. The reason being when a person he has contact with is raided, arrested and or investigated he (Mr Fisher) can say “I did know this guy/gal, and this is my connection to them. I did not know anything about what they were doing outside of what I stated here”. Solves some problems before it happens, and if you have a habit of doing it protects you as a media personality when things do blow up!
Again, a bit of a nothing burger. I can’t speak for Hannity, but as a major media personality I can see him not doing the same amount of discloser that a mid market guy has to (Mr Fisher has been around for 30 plus years and knows dang near everyone in the public eye). The WORST I would see happening to Hannity would be that he has to skip a steak one night at Ruth Kriss’s steakhouse.
However, ethics are ethics. We need to be upfront about that when our guys make a mistake.
