Fox News host Sean Hannity apologized Thursday night after he appeared to say on his radio show that he believed Senate candidate Roy Moores alleged sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl was consensual. Hannity tweeted, I apologize when I misspoke and was not totally clear earlier today before blaming the lazy media for taking his words out of context. On his Fox show, Hannity claimed that when he used the word consensual during a conversation about Moore on his radio show, he was talking about the 17- and 18-year-old girls, not the one who was 14. He went on to say that he doesnt rush to judgement, unlike his bratty friends in the media that are overpaid and lazy like fake Jake Tapper, who called Hannity out on Twitter earlier in the night by saying 14-year-olds cannot legally consent. Tapper later deleted his tweets and said he would take Hannity at his word that he was not defending Moores alleged illegal behavior.

The behavior of Fox News as a network and Hannity in particular is getting closer and closer to the insanely nonsensical Soviet style of that time. This similarity has accelerated since Trump became president.
Regular Fox viewers are so conditioned to it that they cant see it. I work with a lot of them and they do not live in the same reality as the rest of us. They will spend time heaping scorn and derision on all the Democrats and Hollywood liberals who have had their past blow back on them, but Moore gets a shrug and a comment that it its just fake news.
Interestingly, back in the 80s, about one third of ordinary Soviet citizens bought what their government was selling. Trumps current poll numbers are eerily similar.

(7,633 posts)After all, they did kick a few of their executives and even anchors like O'Reilly. I think Fox is clinging to Hannity because he is the one that holds Fox together. He is probably the last big host that still generates ratings.
