Fox News released a statement of support for Sean Hannity instead of firing him after it was announced in court that he is a client of Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen.
Fox said in a statement:
Earlier on Tuesday, NBC’s Chuck Todd said that we were going to find out what kind of organization Fox News is.
Now, we know.
Fox News is not a news organization. They have enmeshed themselves in the Trump orbit. They are the American version of RT, and nothing more than a 24 hour a day propaganda loop. Fox decided that they would cling on to Hannity because he is their last remaining star from their former primetime lineup. Also, Fox News would not want to make their number one viewer angry by firing his favorite host.
Fox News put partisan politics and ratings ahead of journalism. FNC is not a news organization. It is a propaganda outlet and should be treated as such by all credible news media.
