Rep. Ellison Calls Hannity 'Worst Excuse For a Journalist I've Ever Seen'

[bripat9643]

Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) had an amazingly heated discussion with Fox News's Sean Hannity Tuesday evening.

At the beginning of the six-minute slugfest, Ellison called his host "the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen" leading to a truly ugly encounter that culminated in Hannity ending the interview by saying to his guest, "You are a total waste of time" (video follows with rough transcript and commentary):

He is as much a journalist as Chris Matthews, or anybody on the left. Fox and MSNBC are good for nothing more than entertainment. And if Ellison thought so little of Hannity's journalism why did he bother going on the show? If his purpose was to make a point then Hannity was right. He was a waste of time.

For the 100th time. Hannity is not a journalist. He is an entertainer. There haven't been any real 'journalists' for about 20 years.

 

[editec]

Hannity isn't a journalist.

He's an editorialist.

He doesn't gather news..he comments on the news.

Come on kids, this is basic stuff.

I read the transcript.

Reminds me of the awesome political debates on here.
Except they were more polite to each other.

Screw that muslim poc, who under the name "Keith E. Hakim", wrote many newspaper columns supporting Farrakhan's and the Nation of Islam's anti-semitic agenda. Has taken money from the anti-American, anti-Christian CAIR, lied about and was caught and reprimanded for campaign contribution violations. His opinion on anyone's integrity is tainted by the fact that he has none himself.

his behavior was "deplorable"?

it isn't as if respectable citizens watch that show anyway. It's a step below the Jerry Springer show. If people are foolish enough to tune in, they can expect a circus. Who cares?

Hannity is an opinion guy. He's not a journalist. One would think a fucking Congressman would know the difference.

Of course I'm sure he was glad for the facetime on Hannity's show regardless of what he thought of Hannity's journalistic prowess.

The Congressmans an idiot.

In case anyone wonders why Fox News propagandists like the music of Carmina Burana so much, this may help:

Obviously you care or you wouldn't have commented.

What is the Jerry Springer show?

Yes he is (or was, then, at least)

By going on Hannity's show he gave Hannity credibility he clearly doesn't deserve.

Rather reminds me of the old joke with the puchline:

What are you complaining about? You knew I was a scorpion when you agreed to put me on your back.

He commented because he's an "Agit8r." He's just talking his trash doing his Agit8ing thing. Really just worthless garbage.

It is amazing and depressing the absolute, stone-cold idiots and punks that somehow get elected to Congress. There are plenty of liars and cheats in the Senate, but there are some low-lifes in the House that you wouldn't trust to walk your dog, let alone write laws for our country. Wow. Some of these morons are as bad as the most extreme, mindless partisans posting here that just about everyone ignores because they are so dim-witted and predictable.

Hannity is not a journalist..never was. Hannity engages in propaganda..and outright lies.

And it was patently stupid for Ellison to appear on his show.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Hannity is a conservative commentator. Is this earth-shattering news to anyone ?

The congressman knew that going in, and he simply chose to filabuster.

^^^^^ Nails it.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ellison planned on going off on Hannity.

Partisan media blabbers = Division Pimps, part of the problem
