https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-howard-kurtz-rips-intense-media-reaction-to-hannity-people-just-wildly-speculating/Kurtz was struck by the intense media reaction in some corners to Hannitys Cohen connection, slamming the wild speculation (particularly from people who went on TV wondering if Hannity was involved in paying off women) and saying, You cant make stuff up.
As if it's "making stuff up" to wonder if Michael Cohen was doing the same sort of work for Hannity that he did for Trump and Broidy.

I analyzed the past two years of transcripts from Hannity, his Fox News program that airs every weeknight, and found a show that peddles conspiracy theories more than any other news show in the US. Hannity often mirrors the language of online conspiracy forums, and it's only gotten more frequent since Hannity's friend and fellow conspiracy theorist Donald Trump became president.
