Fox News guest: Hannity is ‘so upset that the economy is rebounding’ [View all]

Raw Story

A Fox News guest who took on Sean Hannity for blasting President Barack Obama even as employment dropped to the lowest level in more than four years reaveled on Tuesday that the conservative host and others at Fox News are “so upset” that the economy is recovering.

During a panel discussion on Monday, Hannity talked over Occidental College Associate Professor of Politics Caroline Heldman as she tried to point to positive economic indicators like that the unemployment rate had dropped to 7.7 percent and the stock market was soaring.

“Nine million fewer Americans in the workforce!” Hannity interrupted. “You hear Nancy Pelosi, others talking about the stock market. Do any of those people on food stamps, are they investing in the stock market, Caroline?”

“I’m impressed that you’re now concerned about the poor, thank you for that,” Heldman shot back.

I have a friend who lives at home with his Republican family. He acts puzzled when I tell him Hannity and FOX favor Republicans. He is truly flumoxed by it. He says, "Do you really think so?" Brainwashed.
