      "Journalism in America is dead." Sean Hannity

      No Sean... journalism died the moment this country allowed Fox-Noise to be seen as real media and the clowns working there were somehow considered 'journalists'!!!

      Journalism began to die a slow painful death after the media was allowed to be consolidated in the early 80's and then when CNN started to use its popularity to sell the story of the first invasion of Iraq in 1991, instead of trying to tell it!

        Typical liberal whining, waaaaah waaaaah poor babies. I'm not going to deny Fox News slants to the right, but I LOVE how you liberals cry over ONE (yes, I said 1) news channel digressing from the Obama suckfest...it's not rocket science to figure out Fox News total, absolute dominance in the ratings over your idiotic liberal slanting news channels. Majority of people are sick of liberals running the news, and it's refreshing to see Fox dominating. Fair and balanced :-) Go ahead, get angry with this next post!

        I think there would not be an issue if all the networks were allowed to cover this event. You know like most presidential addresses. The fact that it is being given as a reward (as it appears) to only one network taints the legitimacy of the debate. Whoops not a debate as there is no time given for others to comment.

      Doesn't Sean have his radio show on ABC Radio? Isn't he a part of the ABC family? Is he allowed to attack his own colleagues in that fashion? Who is he going to rail against next, Glenn Beck?!

      They aren't working the refs, they're working the viewers.

      They're worked up over losing the last two elections so they're working for a permanent minority status. On the positive side, it'll help with the victim mentality meme they love to play...

      isnt it ironic for hannity to claim "journalism is dead" when his own network and their band of misfits prove that fact?

        Actually, I think a case could be made that FOX helped kill it.

      That is so stupid it defies logic. As far as Klanity is concern Journalism would be fine if Obama wasn't President. Anyone with half a brain know why Sean says such a ridiculous statement. Just like Republicans he is a sore loser.
      Fox News doesn't practice what they preach because they claim to be "fair and balanced", when in fact they are totally anti Obama and their coverage reflects it.

        I agree. Unfortunately, too many Republicans and some Democrats insist on treating Healthcare as a commodity... like clothing or furniture. They think it's better to let the market decide who can afford it and who can't.
