The topic of journalism and political bias in media has come to the forefront after an NPR editor claimed his network has lost the trust of Americans by its biased reporting over the past decade. Sean Hannity says anyone who didn’t see it before now wasn’t paying attention.
During his Fox News program Tuesday, Hannity decried the current state of journalism in the country, pointing to the internal strife at NPR as proof of his theory that objective news reporting no longer exists.
“These are organizations filled with self-proclaimed journalists. They’re not journalists. One big problem: Journalism is dead, it is buried. This is something that I, accurately, said back in 2007 or 2008 when the press turned into giddy cheerleaders for the Anointed One — Barack Obama,” said Hannity. “Now almost every newsroom in America, they’re not news. They’re opinion, they’re talk show hosts, they’re radical leftists at all costs.”
Sean Hannity continued by sharing his belief that media executives have an ulterior motive by providing biased coverage.
“With a few exceptions, journalism has now been replaced by liberal radical activism. Journalists are far-left hacks, some of them flirting right on the borderline with communism. There is no fidelity to the truth whatsoever,” posited Hannity. “They will lie, they will censor, they will obfuscate the truth all as a means to an end. Their goal is political power, a left-wing utopia where dissent no longer exists.”
