'It disturbs me to my core': Fox News staffers express outrage over Hannity's rally appearance
Source: CNN
New York (CNN)Fox News journalists were outraged and disgusted after Sean Hannity, the network's star host, campaigned with President Donald Trump on Monday night ahead of the midterm elections, more than half a dozen employees told CNN Business.
"People throughout the company think a new line was crossed," one senior Fox News employee told CNN Business on Tuesday.
"It disturbs me to my core," said another senior Fox News employee, who added, "I am so f---ing mad."
"We were all told that Hannity was going to interview the president, but no one that I spoke with expected what happened last night," added a third senior Fox News employee. "I'm aghast as are a number of other people."

BTW this isn't a serious suggestion though I think Toyota are good cars. I have one.

(62,444 posts)The guy fellates Trump every night on live television, and getting on stage with him is what sets them off?

(1,176 posts)They announced lumpy and limpy were going to appear at the rally with tRump. Then Fox walked it back yesterday, and said he would only be interviewing the tRump. They lied. Everyone knows it, so feigning surprise at this point is laughable.

(51,590 posts)Hannity was one of Cohen's clients, he advises the fake prez on a private phone call constantly, and kisses his ass 24/7. What is so upsetting to them about this? It is what he has been doing for years.

(28,254 posts)Fox "news" in general, and Sean Hannity in particular, have been sucking trump's cock from the very beginning. This little show of journalistic propriety is way too late.

Now if Bret Bair did it, that would be a different story. He's a journalist and does a news show.
Hannity is just a GOP mouthpiece.

(4,608 posts)be described as an official or semi-official Propaganda Ministry for the Trump & Complicit Republican regime, and have the gall to promote their network as "Fair and Balanced". Fox News is Goebbels' wet dream.
