Sean Hannity will not be silenced. That was the defiant message the right-wing commentator delivered on his Fox News show on Tuesday night, after a long weekend that, some thought, might extend into a permanent vacation.
The order of the evening, plainly, was not justice for Seth Rich but, rather, justice for Sean Hannity. In recent days, Hannity became the target of an advertising boycott engineered by Media Matters, a liberal group that has called him "a professional propagandist for President Donald Trump, as well as a bigot, a sexist, and a conspiracy theorist." It has been publicizing a list of Hannity's advertisers in hopes that they are pressured to drop sponsorship of his show. Similar tactics proved effective against O'Reilly after his history of alleged sexual predation came to light.
And while the search for Rich's killer continues, Hannity found another cause to champion: an advertising boycott of MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, who has recently bested him in prime time ratings. Although he expressed his own distaste for boycotts and profound love of the First Amendment, Hannity invited as his first guests Brian Maloney and Melanie Morgan of the Media Equality Project, a right-wing watchdog group.
