Not even bothering: Hannity hasn't discussed Kagan in more than a month
June 28, 2010 10:33 pm ET by Matt Gertz
We've noted that most right-wing media have been willing and eager to go back to the same well of discredited and false smears of Elena Kagan in their effort to take down her Supreme Court nomination.
But not Sean Hannity.
Yes, it appears that the case against Kagan is so weak that Hannity -- who basically uses his show to act as a GOP spokesman - isn't even going through the motions.
Tonight, on the first night of her confirmation hearings, Hannity mentioned Kagan in passing before turning to a discussion of the Supreme Court's ruling today on guns. According to a Nexis search, it was the first time her name had been spoken on his show in more than a month.
Incredibly, Hannity did not find time in today's show to devote a segment to Kagan's nomination - but in his defense, he needed to preserve time for an extensive segment on Rod Blagojevich. There wasn't even any discussion during Hannity's Great American Panel -- though there was time for plenty of discussion of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

It's retarded shit like this that makes organizations like Media Matters lose credibility.
