Hannity on Seth Rich coverage: I retracted nothing
BY JOE CONCHA - 05/23/17 05:22 PM EDT
Fox Newss Sean Hannity ripped his critics and the mainstream media on his nationally syndicated radio program Tuesday, saying, I am not Fox.com or FoxNews.com, I retracted nothing.
His reaction came hours after Fox News retracted a story regarding the 2016 killing of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich after massive outcry over sharing conspiracy theories about the 2016 shooting death.
Right-wing news outlets have sought to link without evidence the 27-year-olds death to Democrat Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the WikiLeaks release of hacked emails from her campaign and the DNC.
"For those accusing me of pushing a conspiracy theory, you are the biggest phony hypocrites in the entire world," Hannity said Tuesday.

As far as I know, FOX News was never punished for what they did to Terry Schiavo's husband...

Oh maybe because he married her in a big Catholic church wedding a month later? He was a bum

Exactly, the lie is up and running now, which can be used by the crackpots as fact.

Meanwhile, damage done. Retraction won't enter their followers' consciousness.

So does this mean that Hannity will cease his relentless lies on the subject?
