On Fox News, and pretty much any other media outlet he has been affiliated with, Sean Hannity has made a career of spreading misinformation and advancing falsehoods. This is a well defended title and that is saying something with the competition Hannity had to fend off to win the title and continues to fend off to maintain it (or at least remain a top contender).
Media Matters is again on the case as Hannity twists the facts to find some way of turning Democrats into the bad people as these far-right nuts (cleverly disguised as good Americans merely exercising their constitutional rights) disrupt town hall meetings motivated by hate, fear and anger. Sure, some of them are good people, but even good people can look hateful with the kind of venom we’ve seen from some of these extremists.
Here is Media Matters laying out its case to refute Hannity.
This is how Media Matters introduces the article:
Asserting that “the Democrats” are the ones “yelling here and calling names,” Sean Hannity claimed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called health care town hall protesters “Nazis”; that Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wrote “that they are un-American”; and that President Obama is “telling the American people to shut up.” In fact, none of these claims is true.
Truth has never stopped (or slowed) Sean Hannity.
