5. The Arc of Karma is Long...

But it bends toward justice.

2. Ah, the grim reaper of faux news strikes again. At least he's killing his own people.

[MontanaMama]

3. This.

I view these people as dangerous cult members. They have no qualms about killing.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. Yes. I loved it when Ted Koppel told H off in his interview.

You could see H react when Koppel said this too. I loved it! Koppel is a true newsman. H is an ambulance chaser.

6. This World will be a better place when Hannity is in the ground. nt

Thanks heaps.

8. From that link...

At the time, Hannity’s show was downplaying or ignoring the virus, while fellow Fox host Tucker Carlson was warning viewers about the disease’s risks.

Using both a poll of Fox News viewers over age 55 and publicly available data on television-watching patterns, they calculate that Fox viewers who watched Hannity rather than Carlson were less likely to adhere to social distancing rules, and that areas where more people watched Hannity relative to Carlson had higher local rates of infection and death.

“Greater exposure to Hannity relative to Tucker Carlson Tonight leads to a greater number of COVID-19 cases and deaths,” they write. “A one-standard deviation increase in relative viewership of Hannity relative to Carlson is associated with approximately 30 percent more COVID-19 cases on March 14, and 21 percent more COVID-19 deaths on March 28.”

As a play on words from a Seinfeld episode:
“Sean Hannity now, insanity later.”

9. Just as it is illegal to shout "fire" in a theater,

it really should be harder to get away with deliberately misleading people regarding a public health matter as serious as COVID-19.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. It's not illegal to shout "fire" in a theater when there really is a fire.

Hannity is just sneaking out the back door of the theater instead of shouting fire when he sees that there is one.

[crickets]

12. Good analogy. I still think he ought to be called to account for it. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. You could add that he's selling tickets outside and telling people

there's no fire in the theater and they can go right in.

10. Well, since it's just a "Democrat hoax"..

I think it would be downright friendly and supportive of Hannity to show up at every protest and shake hands with all the participants. Just to show solidarity, you know.
