“What they are doing is repulsive,” Hannity claimed. “It is ugly. It hurts the country. It shouldn’t surprise us, because they have hated Trump every second, minute, hour of every 24 hour day for over three years. They represent the media wing of the Democratic Party: nothing more, nothing less.”


Hannity opened the segment by falsely claiming that a “media mob” was “looking for ways, oh, to bludgeon President [Donald] Trump politically” while covering the global pandemic. The Fox News host alleged that the so-called “mob” had misrepresented his coverage of the crisis and pointed to a timeline of his work on his website “so they can’t plead ignorance when I think about suing them.” (Salon was one of the outlets mentioned in the aforementioned post.)


During his Wednesday broadcast, Hannity pointed to editorials published by mainstream media outlets, which he alleged had hurt the country. He called out a Feb. 5 op-ed op-ed in The Washington Post that criticized Trump’s China travel ban as ineffective and racially charged by Rosie Spinks, as well as a Feb. 26 column The New York Times in which Gail Collins advocated for calling COVID-19 the “Trumpvirus.” Hannity also attacked opinion pieces by The Post’s Erik Wemple (whom he repeatedly insulted as “Pimple”) that called for the Fox News host to be fired and praised CNN and MSNBC for refusing to carry Trump’s full press briefings on the pandemic......................................................
