I have never hidden the fact that I despise FOX Noise’ number two stooge, Sean Hannity. The reasons are obvious; he is wrong about everything, lies incessantly, and supports every issue which is against the beliefs of most Americans.
Other reasons are because in person he is rude and arrogant, and, like his hero, Donald Trump, has a very weak temperament. Hannity is a little man with little or no concern for others.
Recently, an incident in Philadelphia revealed the real Hannity.
It happened inside a Center City Wawa. Hannity was reported to have been very rude to other customers. Jonathan Paul Fox, of East Lampeter Township was a Bernie Sanders delegate. He gave details of Hannity’s unpleasantness to ‘Lancaster Online.’
“An overtly friendly and charismatic guy, Fox said he walked up to Hannity when he saw the conservative commentator inside. Putting his hand “gently” on Hannity’s shoulder, he said, “My name’s Fox. I’d like my good name back from your channel.”
Fox said he was trying to be funny but the TV personality took it the wrong way. He said Hannity turned to him and told him to “get his hands off” him or he would “pulverize” him.”
When Hannity and his very necessary bodyguards were leaving, FOX couldn’t resist one more jibe at the FOX personality. “See ya, Lumpy.” (The “Lumpy” reference came after former “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart returned to his late-night form last week, eviscerating Hannity and calling him “Lumpy’).
Now this really irritated the thin-skinned fake-journalist. Hannity had him taken outside, and raised his fists, just as a police officer walked by. He said that Fox had been harassing him; but the officer simply continued walking by. Everyone went their own way with no further incidents.
I can add my own estimation of Hannity from personal experience.
I worked in the casinos of Northern Nevada for 20 years. I was primarily a ‘craps dealer.’ One evening Hannity walked up to the table next to mine with his ‘entourage.’ It was a slow evening, and I was able to view the events during the time he attempted to take part in the game.
Hannity was very rude to the dealers. He was intent on entertaining those in his party at the expense of the men doing their jobs. The word to describe him would be “cocky.” Needless to say, my associates were pleased when he left.
As FOX Noise loses ratings, sane and informed Americans can only be pleased about its eventual demise. Two factors will insure that it will be nothing but a bad memory in the future.
FOX’ viewership is mostly middle-aged and older white men and women; they are leaving their earthly bonds in the near future. And secondly, millennials, who are now our nation’s largest demographic, do not watch television for the news they choose to read; they use ‘smart phones to find information.’
Hannity chooses his battles unwisely; he supported his former boss, Roger Ailes, and he supports his idol, Donald Trump.
Trump too supported Ailes, claiming that the former FOX president ‘aided the careers of women.’ Of course, Trump makes the same claim.
