The great things about liberals is that even though most have never run a business, they all know exactly how businesses should be run. It's as if all those courses they took at Amherst or Yale on women's studies, art history, and neo-colonialism gave them an intuitive sense for market forces, and exactly how much businesses should pay employees, exactly how much in taxes businesses should pay, and how to run every aspect of their companies.
It's hardly surprising, then, to find an exposé in the Washington Post focusing on Fox News commentator Sean Hannity. Hannity spent millions of dollars to buy ownership in over a thousand rental properties, and then, once he acquired ownership, he started evicting tenants left and right – all for the "crime" of not paying rent! How bizarre is that? When Sean Hannity invested millions of dollars in rental properties, he actually expected the tenants to pay rent to him!
Liberals, of course, know that this is immoral and scandalous – the economic equivalent of keeping a "brown slave" like Eric Schneiderman or sexting while babysitting like Anthony Weiner.
Here's what the intrepid business experts at the WaPo uncovered:
[A] Washington Post analysis shows that managers at Hannity's four largest apartment complexes in Georgia have taken an unusually aggressive approach to rent collection. They have sought court-ordered evictions at twice the statewide rate – in a state known for high numbers of evictions and landlord-friendly laws – and frequently have done so less than two weeks after a missed payment.
All good points! Rental properties like Hannity's are exactly the same as all other rental properties in Georgia, therefore the eviction rate should be exactly the same. The WaPo knows this because, well, it just does is!

Incredible cruelty.
Well you see, if I don’t pay my rent, you will throw me out. That’s how it works.
“Accused”?
What else do you do if tenants don’t pay rent?
Only question left is what color was the tenets.
aggressively collecting rent is at least a felony.
Evict tenants who pay no rent? How strange & unusual. /sarc
What an evil bastard huh? Shame Sean. Shame.
The media has become hate filled left wing activists, no news, just political attacks.
Can you imagine? So unfair.
One of the reasons owners sell rental properties is they get tired of dealing with deadbeat tenants. It would be logical that a new buyer gets rid of the deadbeats as soon as they acquire the property and replace them with better tenants.
Must be embarrassing for the headline writer at the conservative American Thinker.
It’s OK, kid, we all make mistakes.
Gigantic scandal. Shades of the Third Reich.
So do you see the subversives rushing out and paying their rent for them so they won’t be evicted? Nope.
It is chilling how some elements in the media are trying to destroy another member of the media because of his political views.
RE: What else do you do if tenants don’t pay rent?
Liberals expect you to be “charitable” and house them so that they don’t become homeless.... /s
Does WP charge for access to their internet reporting and if you don’t pay do they block access?
It is actually the Property Management Company that Evicts deadbeats, but the Media wants people to believe that Evil Sean Hannity pulls up to the House in his Rolls Royce and his Thug Bodyguards drag the poor Tenants out while Hannity watches with an evil grin on his face.
Doesn’t Sean know he’s expected to overlook nonpayment of rent? What does he think he is.. a landlord?
They have sought court-ordered evictions at twice the statewide rate – in a state known for high numbers of evictions and landlord-friendly laws
...
Therefore Georgia should have more rentals available and lower rents than states that don’t have landlord friendly laws.
