Hannity Spends 30 Seconds Saying COVID Vaccines Good, Fox News Can Have Cookie Now?




https://www.wonkette.com/hannity-spends-30-seconds-saying-covid-vaccines-are-good-please-give-fox-news-a-cookie

At the top of Politico Playbook this morning, there's a clip of Sean Hannity having a real heart-to-heart with his Fox News viewers last night.

"Please take COVID seriously. I can't say it enough," says Hannity, who just can't say it enough. "We don't need any more death," he says, like a guy who cares. "I believe in the science of vaccination." It definitely deserves to be at the top of Playbook, if you're not very good at contextualizing the news and have paid zero attention to anything else Fox News has said about the COVID vaccine one million times in the past two weeks.

Playbook calls it the "MONOLOGUE OF THE NIGHT." You bet.

Journalist Jan Wolfe noted on Twitter that just before Hannity made love to the COVID vaccine for 30 seconds, Hannity had been complaining about some university's vaccine mandate. (Without putting ourselves through looking up the clip, we're guessing it was Indiana University, whose vaccine mandate was just upheld by a Trump-appointed federal judge.) After Hannity's paean to vaccines, Wolfe notes that "he interviewed a young woman who lost feeling in her legs for a month in 2019 after getting a different type of vaccine."

So that's just quite a turnaround. Wow, Fox News must be having a total road to fuckin' Damascus moment, and will surely change its ways!

Is he getting orders from his boss?

This does not seem like anything Hannity would say on his own accord?

What's going on at FOX?

Where he demonstrates he should allowed to be on TV. That leaves 31,535,970 seconds this year where he is unfit to be on TV.

Delta variant raging, especially red states

Stock market falls

Overlords loose money

Fauxnews leashes jerked

Promote vaccine to prop up wall street casino

What do you think?
