Why Isn't Sean Hannity Talking About THIS Column?
by Steve Young


Dec. 4, 2005 -- HOLLYWOOD (apj.us) -- One of Sean Hannity's tried and true weapons against the mainstream media is to accuse them of bias, printing the news that bolsters the left. In effect, Sean says the biased media cherry-picks information to make their case -- a case that is anti-Republican, anti-Bush.

This past week, after his fact-finding trip, Senator Joe Lieberman spoke positively of the war and the progress being made in Iraq.

Sean spoke of it too, but wanted to know why the mainstream media was not talking about it. In fact, this was just another reason why the "New Media" (right wing talk radio, blogs, FOX News, et al) needs to exist -- and another reason why you have to listen to Sean three hours a day (and the one hour on prime-time TV).

I have long been a disciple of the "Sean Hannity mistrusts his fans with the truth" notion, one that purports that if he actually gave them all the facts, or any facts at all, they wouldn't believe the way he wants them to.

In the old days that might have been called "lying." Today they call it "New Media."

Even when plying in the truth, you rarely get more than 50% of it. And 50% of the truth is no truth at all.

On the Monday following Lieberman's comment, here is how some of the Mainstream Media ignored it.

1. Cognitive dissonance, perhaps?

Or it could be he is just a lying GOP tool....dissonance requires thought, and he doesn't appear capable of independent thinking. I do, however, think he will gladly take the money for mouthing lies, with empty glee!

2. Comon...

You seem so negative...

3. Not at all, in fact, I am POSITIVE he is an asshole of the first order! nt
