56. Obviously no fan of harassment of any kind or Hannity, but ...

I think inviting a non-colleague women to one's hotel room & then not inviting them back to one's talk show again after being rejected is pretty low-key in the scheme of things. It's certainly not of the level of O'Reilly and Ailes' cretinousness (is that a word?)

I'm just saying ... running around w/hair afire over something like this story probably isn't going to serve us in the long run.

I feel we'd need more actual 'evidence' before we go out and accuse Hannity of O'Reilly-ism. Not saying it's not 'there', in fact, it may well be. But it may not ... To be honest, I think the approach of frequenting the Bunny Ranch (as he's been accused of) is arguably the 'honorable' thing to do if one has a sex addiction, at least compared to just about any alternative I can think of offhand.

Basically this story doesn't reach a level of what I'd call 'harassment' ...
