Trump Has Lost Hannity As Fox Host Privately Admits Whistleblower Allegations Are Really Bad



Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair reported, “Meanwhile, Trump’s biggest booster seems to be having doubts of his own. This morning, Sean Hannity told friends the whistle-blower’s allegations are “really bad,” a person briefed on Hannity’s conversations told me. (Hannity did not respond to a request for comment). And according to four sources, Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch is already thinking about how to position the network for a post-Trump future. - PoliticusUSA


tRump cannot afford to lose Fox Noise. Expect real fireworks when tRump gets wind of this. Without 24/7 media propaganda, the minions will sink into the woodwork.

Third hand report of Hannity speaking to a "friend". Sure.
Maybe he's concerned. Why wouldn't he be now that he's staked his reputation on Trump's reputation?

But he'll NEVER abandon his partner in crime. I think he and the orange turd have bigger plans with a Trump TV network, that will make Fox News seem like MSNBC. No matter if he leaves in a cloud or not. Hannity knows there's a big cash cow waiting to milk, all those deplorables he and Trump have raised. Wailing babies that need the teat of blame and conspiracy theories to continue to suckle on.

hannity's on 500 radio stations - fox is a limited manifestation, putting visual icing on the lie turd pie of talk radio

there are millions of people who will hear the master excuser limbaugh on free easy loud clear stations that millions have to go to to get traffic news sports and emergency while driving working or doing chores

if there was an effort to monitor talk radio there would likely be evidence of russians calling US rw radio talk shows

as there probably was earlier in the year when rw radio was used to spread this biden bullshit - limbaugh was talking about biden/ukraine in june for sure and maybe earlier if some investigative journalist would get a clue and do the research

and they might find it started with russia

and I mean a little! I watched about 57 minutes of Rachel and about 3 minutes of Insanity. I saw nothing to suggest that he was abandoning his good buddy. He was talking about how this was all, "backfiring on the democrats" (whatever that's supposed to mean). Then Ingraham began screeching and I turned it off.

That's all. Now for a solid hour of eye bleaching and ear de-greasing.

It just shows that things really are so bad that even Hannity admits it. He’s not going anywhere.
