Apparently, one of the benefits of being a friend to Fox News host Sean Hannity is being able to hitch rides on his private jet.
When former House Speaker Newt Gingrich departed for Indiana Wednesday morning to meet with Donald Trump, Hannity arranged Gingrich’s early-morning flight, two anonymous sources privy to the situation told CNN.
Fox News had suspended its contributor contract with Gingrich Tuesday in response to concerns that the network could not report objectively on the possibility of Gingrich becoming Trump’s running mate.
Trump had been in Indiana meeting with the state’s Republican governor, Mike Pence, who is also being vetted as a potential running mate.
Hannity has a horse in that race, so to speak, as he publicly expressed his support for Gingrich as a potential vice presidential pick on his show Tuesday night.
“I wouldn’t be happy with anyone but Newt,” he said.
A spokeswoman for Fox News didn’t immediately respond Wednesday afternoon to TPM’s request for comment.
It’s truly a sad day when a plane lands without incident and you’re bummed.
Fair and Balanced! It’s now time for Roger Ailes to hit on another female employee, which he never does.
And when Hannity got it back it reeked of stale donuts and hair spray.
I think the bigger news is that Hannity has his own jet.
how come Paulie Boi doesn’t convene a special select committee to investigate a cable channel’s courtesy trip for one of it’s employees, even if he was ‘suspended’ for the duration , as an in kind political donation?
yeah yeah… Citizens United
