Hannity’s Ridiculous Excuse For His Offer To Send Obama To Kenya: Just An “Experiment About Our Corrupt Media”

Hannity: “So Yesterday On The Program, I Did An Experiment About Our Corrupt Media”

From the October 26 edition of Premiere Radio Networks’ The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So yesterday on the program, I did an experiment about our corrupt media. The only other person that knows about this is my producer Lynda McLaughlin. And I said, “Linda, did you see the story?” It was a satire piece out of Canada that was picked up, that, oh, if Trump wins, Obama and his family are moving to Canada. We knew it was BS, and I said so, you and I said so yesterday. And then I said, “watch what I’m gonna do.” And she looks at me and she goes, “what are you up to?” I said, “watch.” And I said, “I’m going to test our media.” So I told the story because Josh Earnest was asked about this satirical piece. And he wouldn't give a definitive answer if Obama’s gonna stay if Trump wins. “He’s going to continue to work to make sure that never happens,” but he wouldn’t say whether he’d stay or not. So then I did what I always do when these people say they're gonna leave the country. I said, I will charter a jet the size of Air Force One, to which Obama has become accustomed, and of course free, I’ll be paying for it because we’ve been paying for it, all his trips to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard, and everywhere else that he hangs out. And I said, “I’ll even put caviar and champagne,” and I said, “If he wants to go to Canada, I’ll pay for him on the private jet.” And I said, “I’d try and charter Trump’s jet, if he’d let me charter it, and send him to Canada.” And then I said, “If he wants to go to Kenya, I’ll send him to Kenya.”

Now, I just watched -- somebody sent me -- and I watched the whole 33 minutes of video produced by Obama’s sister of him in Kenya when he was visiting. And it was interesting, a few lines in there that are interesting to me, but putting that aside. So his family is there. So I said Kenya. And then I said, “If he wants to go to Jakarta,” remember Nicholas Kristof of New York Times quoted, “his time in Jakarta, he went to a Muslim school in Jakarta,” I’m not calling him a Muslim, “he went to a Muslim school,” and, anyway, I’m not going there either. And then he said, you know, Nicholas Kristof, with a first-rate accent, he said, “the call to prayer is the most beautiful sight on Earth.” A paraphrase.

HANNITY: And then I said, “or anywhere else he wants to go.” Now, Lynda, what did I tell you would happen?

LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN: That they would only report on one place and that they would make it completely biased, and selective hearing, and selective printing, and selective editing. And that’s what they did.

HANNITY: And what was the headline all across the media last night?

MCLAUGHLIN: Sean Hannity says that he'll send Obama back to Kenya.

HANNITY: Pretty much. Now, I told you, I’m going to mention Canada first, then Kenya, then Jakarta, and then anywhere else. And I said to you, “Lynda, they’re going to say Kenya. Watch.”

[…]

HANNITY: So, it was a little experiment. What does it prove? The media didn’t tell you the whole story. They didn’t say that I offered to pay for Canada. They didn’t say that I offered Jakarta. They didn’t mention that I said Kenya because of the video that I saw. They wanted you to believe that Hannity said Kenya. What does that say about them? What does that say about them? That they are morally corrupt, bankrupt, and irresponsible in their reporting. And it was just a little test me and Lynda did yesterday, in light of the 65 new WikiLeaks, reporters that were wined and dined by the Obama people.
