Television host Sean Hannity took to Twitter with a liberal use of caps lock on Monday to blast the news website Mediaite after it crowned him as “the worst of Fox News.”
Hannity’s tweet was part of a back-and-forth spat with staff members of Mediaite after the news site compiled a list of the “best and worst of cable news.”
The twitter exchange is below:

Correction: Hannity’s initial tweet was likely referring to Mediaite columnist Joe Concha. Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this post suggested otherwise. We regret the error.
