Fox News’s Sean Hannity busted again by Fox News

Required reading and viewing for morons like Whell, who have absolutely no grasp of journalistic ethics.

You really need to look up the term "ironic".

How are "journalistic ethics" invoked for a "news personality" and show host who makes no pretense about his lack of objectivity? He's not a columnist or an editor for the WaPo which is bound by a much higher standard of journalistic ethics and objectivity.

Yet, you choose to quote form a "blog" in the WaPo opinion section from a "media critic" when making your case about "journalistic ethics", and the target of the . You're hilarious....and clueless.

You clearly don’t get it, and never will. You simply don’t have the intellect.

Intellect aside, a main principle of whell's is to never never get a damn thing from us, no matter what.

So what? Truth is truth regardless of the source.
And since Hannity is just an annoying media personality, perhaps it’s beneath mainstream WaPo to cover a slimeball like him.

You're confusing truth with fact.

So sue me.

One gathers facts to get to the truth is the way I know it (without help from The Alphabet Co.). YMMV, but then my avatar says it all.

And using the same facts, people often see different truths.

You'll be hearing from my lawyers, Dewey, Cheatem and Howe, presently.

People interpret facts differently but there is only one universal truth.
Attributed to Einstein (?), sounds good anyway: "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." One can substitute word truth for theory.

So you have it backwards my friend, one of the benefits of living in Texas.

Dewey and Howe are OK but watch out for Cheatem. Heard he used to work for Trump.

And you need to look up the term "news," as in Fox News.
