Sorry Robbie, I missed it. Please don't be mad at me.
But to be fair, Sean Hannity
described himself as a Journalist to Mathew Shaer in the November 28th edition of the New York Times. So forgive my confusion on the matter. How should I know which Sean Hannity to believe?

Are you now going to post again and ask me this same damn thing over and over?
WTF?
He is a biased talk show host. That's what his show is all about.

Sure Robbie, but his show doesn't look like a talk show, and he doesn't talk like a talk show host.
This was easy to find:
He starts his show with
"Breaking Tonight" and "We now have evidence of election collusion", with a "Fox News Alert" crawl at the bottom of the screen. ..."But before we get to our top story" is said a few seconds later.
Come on Robbie. Sean Hannity says he's a talk show host. This does not look like a talk show. What about older people in their 60's and 70's who might watch this and think it is real news?

I don't watch all of them but I'd say you're right when it comes to Rachel Maddow who's show I've watched.. once or twice maybe... ;) Her commentary is thoroughly fact-checked and accurate.

Not true. Maddow never describes herself as a reporter, but has often described herself as a liberal commentator. It's even in the second paragraph of her Wikipedia page at

Sean Hannity does not mention this in the video I included above.
