Talking Sean Hannity: "I'm not biased."
About a week ago, when I was in good ol' California, and my dad decided to turn on the radio. Lo and behold, Sean Hannity was on the air! So I decided to listen to the stuff he was saying, which included this gem:

"People say that I'm biased one way or another. I'm not -- I just want to know the truth."

That should go down in history as the biggest lie ever.

The journalistic equivalent of Nixon's "I'm not a crook," Bush Sr.'s "read my lips...", Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," and Bush Jr.'s entire State of the Union address.

He might want to know the truth--but have such big blinders on he wouldn't know it if it bit him on the ass.

Everyone is biased...

Sean Hannity's job is to get people to vote for the Republican Party.

When did the truth become so subjective? It used to be that the truth was factual. It was either the truth or it wasn't. Now its the truth to me or the truth to you but it dosen't actually have to be factual. We see this with Xians all the time laying claim to the truth according to how they see it. Hannity is no different.

When Fox News started broadcasting 'Fair and Balanced' journalism.
