There are a lot of factors at play in the host’s current bed-shitting, so in a nutshell: the voluntary departures of Megyn Kelly and Greta van Sustren, and the involuntary one of Bill O’Reilly, has left Hannity as the last man standing from FNC prime time’s Golden Age, in which hosts floated wild Obama conspiracy theories as Roger Ailes shuffled the network halls, pants around his ankles. Now, surrounded by weak second-stringers like Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld, and Jesse Watters, the network’s ratings have gone into the toilet – not just due to the lack of personalities, but also because of those non-personalities’ stern refusal to cover the increasingly overwhelming scandals of the young (but Republican!) Trump administration.
It’s Hannity, however, who has most flagrantly ignored the family’s requests and filled his airtime with “bombshells” and “revelations” about the Rich murder (all the while slamming “the media” for refusing to leave disgraced boss Ailes’s family “alone in their time of grief”). And how has that worked out for his show? Well, funny story: last week, for the first time in nearly 17 years, FNC came in third place in the advertiser-friendly 25-54 demo. And true to that pattern, Hannity is consistently rating behind CNN’s second-place Don Lemon and MSNBC’s first-place Lawrence O’Donnell. (Good thing that network’s not thinking about letting that guy’s contract expire and moving their programming to the political center, huh? Wait, what?)
But Twitter is where the Hannity #brand has really thrived. Much like his buddy Mr. Trump, the social media platform is where, freed from the shackles of his handlers and writers, we get to see the real Hannity: barely literate, laughably thin-skinned, and full-on crazy-pants. Over the past couple of days, that nuttery has centered on former Megaupload boss Kim Dotcom, who insists he has (or, most accurately, is) “the evidence” connecting Rich to Wikileaks. Of course, he also claimed he knew how to get Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails, so, y’know, grain of salt.
At any rate, the claim that this totes reliable source can prove Lumpy Hannity’s Mind-Blowing Conspiracy Theory has turned the host into a full-on Twitter Pepefrog. A brief sampling of his recent Twitter output, most of which you would expect to see in the body of a Re: FW: FW: Re: email from your grandmother’s AOL account:
