Conservative pundit Sean Hannity defended his dozens of chummy interviews with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump on his Wednesday radio show by saying, “I’m not a journalist!”
Hannity was responding to a recent piece from ThinkProgress which rounded up some of the most softball questions he posed to the billionaire across 41 interviews since last June.
“I’ll be honest, if I’m interviewing Hillary Clinton, it’s going to be 100 times harder than any Republican, because I believe the Republicans have a far better vision, one that I agree with,” he said. “I just have less disagreement with them.”
“I’m not a journalist, I’m a talk show host,” Hannity continued.
It’s a line the talking head has used before when faced with criticism he caters to the Republican party line.
Hannity went on to say he’s chosen to so far remain neutral in the GOP race to provide access to the candidates for his listeners.
“At the end of the day, if it’s Cruz or Trump, whoever ends up winning, I’m going to support them,” he said.
Listen to the remarks via The Sean Hannity Show:
We know what you are!
You’re also not a thinking Human. I can think of so many bad things to call you but let’s give everyone the right to do that. It’s going to get ugly. Pop the corn please.
Did anyone ever accuse Hannity of being a journalist? If they did, they can’t have been paying much attention.
“I’m not a journamalist, I simply play one on my talk show in order to assist in the fleecing of the rubes. Anyone wanna buy some gold?”
