Fox News host Sean Hannity has slipped up and admitted his bias when talking about how much time he gives for the presidential candidates. Most Republicans have been denouncing Donald Trump, but Hannity has filled his show with all kinds of pro-Trump rhetoric.
He got so mad that he let the words, “I’m not a journalist,” slip out of his mouth. FINALLY, he has spoken the truth! Here is the full quote:
“I’ll be honest, if I’m interviewing Hillary Clinton, it’s going to be 100 times harder than any Republican, because I believe the Republicans have a far better vision, one that I agree with. I just have less disagreement with them.”
“I’m not a journalist, I’m a talk show host.”
Now he is making Fox News look even worse, if that’s possible. With this admission, he exposes just how biased the station really is. He usually isn’t shy about admitting his bias, but going so far as to say he’s not a journalist, that’s new for him.
Hannity has interviewed Trump 41 times since he announced his presidential candidacy. Some are saying that this is the reason Trump has won some primaries, despite an Associated Press poll saying that 70-percent of the public views him negatively. Even amongst white male voters without college degrees, his most loyal voting bloc, 55-percent view Trump negatively.
Many news outlets, including Fox News, have allowed Trump to do interviews by phone, which they don’t normally do with their guests. There was one week in August where he had nine phone interviews on various outlets. Would he do that as president, too? Why can’t he even show up to be interviewed?

Here is audio of Hannity doing his usual ranting and raving as he makes these pathetic admissions:
