Hannity: The Go-To Show For Race-Baiting Against African Americans
Recently, Ann Coulter made a lot of waves when she announced on the Hannity show that “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks.” Did host Sean Hannity object? Heck, no. In fact, he implicitly endorsed the sentiment with his accepting response. Sadly, this is just the latest example of race baiting on Hannity. In several other instances, guests have accused the majority of African Americans of being racists – without receiving so much as a question in the way of a challenge. In fact, in one instance where a guest accused “most blacks” in Tennessee of being racist, Hannity refused to allow his other guest an opportunity to rebut.

Fox News Joins The Republican War On (Democratic) Voting
As Rolling Stone reported in an article called The GOP War on Voting, a number of Republican state governments – many in important swing states – have imposed new legal impediments to voting. America Live with Megyn Kelly held a discussion yesterday on the situation deliberately framed so as to suggest that the Obama campaign is stealthily working to undermine voter integrity and enable voter fraud. Guest and conservative talk show host Chris Plante not only grabbed that ball and ran with it, he began by openly accusing the Obama administration of voter fraud (unchallenged by Kelly) and later laughed heartily at every mention of voter disenfranchisement. UPDATED.

Hannity Guest Smacks Down Right-Wing Talking Points About Businesses Being Too Afraid Of Obama To Invest
On Thursday’s Hannity show (10/27/11), radio host Jay Thomas was part of the Great American Panel segment. Sean Hannity argued the familiar right-wing talking point that despite the deficit, it would be bad for the economy to raise taxes on businesses because they won’t spend money on hiring and investing in growth. “Businesses have more cash than they’ve ever had since (unintelligible),” Thomas began.

Fox News “Asks” If President Obama Stole A Joke From Dennis Miller – That He Might Have Stolen
In what may be a new low for Fox News last night (10/26/11), the “fair and balanced” network “asked” if President Obama had stolen a joke from O’Reilly Factor resident comedian Dennis Miller. Miller told the joke in question on the October 19th Factor, comparing the Republican presidential candidate debates to the television show “Survivor.” In what Bill O’Reilly called a “very interesting situation,” Obama made the same joking comparison on Jay Leno Tuesday night, October 25th. News flash for Fox: That comparison has been made by others, before Miller told it – including a sketch on Saturday Night Live. So maybe Miller, an SNL alum, stole it from them, eh? Or maybe SNL got it from candidate Rick Santorum, who commented in September, after a previous debate, "I mean right now, I feel like I'm on an episode of 'Survivor,'" Had anyone at Fox bothered to do a simple Google search, they would have discovered this easy-to-find information.
