Maybe he's just going to hold at Fox until he can find a place to jump. Breitbart TV News isn't quite set up for him....yet.


Or maybe....

Is Sean Hannity Testing Just How Crazy Fox News Will Let Him Act?



The ongoing upheaval at Fox News, dating back to the removal of founder and CEO Roger Ailes and to the more recent ouster of company president Bill Shine, has coincided with a stunning ratings decline, with the network falling behind rivals MSNBC and CNN in the 25-54 age demographic for the first time in more than a decade.
This is arguably due in part to the loss of Fox’s biggest star, O’Reilly, whose 8 p.m. show’s huge viewership preceded the rest of the network’s prime time programming. But judging by the large ratings upticks on MSNBC and CNN, Americans seem to want to see more about the assorted Trump administration scandals, particularly Russia-related ones. Currently, those sorts of stories are nearly absent over on Fox, unless you count features attacking the coverage of anything Trump-Russia-related. (Of those, there are plenty, especially on Hannity.)


So, will Hannity be fired? Is he trying to get fired, so he can play the victim card against what he calls “liberal fascism”?

Almost every reply at your link doesn't believe it, including the op.

Edit: It's actually every single reply and the op themselves that question the accuracy at the link you shared. Every single one.

Not sure what your point is.

You asked what made them think that. I posted an example. Perhaps not the best example but I am not going to spend a lot of time looking for Sean Hanity is getting fired posts.

I'm completely accurate about the link you shared. I didn't share the link to make my point, though it works well. I appreciate your sharing it. Nothing negative at all.

Until then, he's useful to keep around to tell outrageous lies to half wits.

Too bad for him, MSNBC would have been more prestigious.

since Faux's audience is way over the age the advertisers want, they don't really make much from ad time to begin with, they have a large but old audience that isn't very tech savvy if they aren't tech phobic, MSNBC, CNN, and the network news shows don't really have any much younger of an audience, young people just don't watch TV news to begin with
