Sean Hannity has been railing about Media Matters’ supposed lapses in ethics for allegedly working with the White House and other media. But when it comes to ethical issues between the Republican Party and Fox News it’s an entirely different story, apparently. During the Great American Panel segment on Friday (2/17/12), when the subject turned to the 2012 presidential campaign, Fox News contributor Nina Easton made a point of disclosing that her husband is a paid advisor to Mitt Romney’s campaign. Hannity not only disagreed with the need to disclose that information, he was outright peeved at her doing so.
Even worse, this is not the first time Hannity has tried to dissuade Easton from making the disclosure.

Her disclosing her connection is S.O.P. period. What was Hannity’s rationale? This is journalism 101. Conflicts of interest are a standard topic, and this lady did the right thing. Sean reveals just how fkng dishonest he is, and how sold out he is. I hope he gets ripped for this one, but he won’t. He’ll get away with it and get rich in the process. At least News Hounds picked up on it. Fox is flat-out evil. Their agenda is so damn sinister, and the public bleats on.

You can’t blame Seannie Poo for getting upset; he’s had his own problems admitting ties to a political candidate — such as the time he hosted at a fundraiser for Rudy 9/11 Giuliani:

Next thing you know we’ll have to disclose that we work for Rupert Murdoch and that his media outlets hacked phones, had police on retainer and won a legal decision in a Florida court to broadcast/print lies. When is this water boarding of Rupert’s media gonna end?!!! Will we have to tell the truth some day?!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhh ….

High End Hannocchio never had any ethics in the first place. This Santa Barbara trouble maker was a thorn to those who worked with him.
A crack dealer on the streets of New York City is more trustworthy than Hannocchio.
Hannocchio is sneaky, cunning and street smart. We know where he is coming from. There’s another side of him that is not pleasant.
He’s afraid of us because we know about his background. And it’s our duty to inform the masses of him.
Easton has ethics, Hannocchio none.
NOTE TO HANNITY
Didn’t your father teach you anything about ethics? You are an embarrassment to your father.
