Rep. Ellison explodes on Fox News

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison attacked Fox News host Sean Hannity on-air tonight in what is surely one of the most explosive and contentious interviews between an anchor and a politician in recent history.

Rep. Ellison began the interview by calling Hannity "the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen." He went on to accuse Hannity of violating "every journalistic ethic I have ever heard of" and called him "a shill for the Republican Party."

I did love Ellison's take down of Hannity, but I would not classify it as an explosion nor would I classify Hannity's response as calm.

that didn't sit to well with me, either. It's not "attacking" somebody when you tell the truth about what's really going on. Attacking somebody is doing what Limbaugh, FOX, etc. do on a regular basis, which is to create phony outrages about Benghazi and numerous other topics, rile up the birthers, and to race-bait and say that Pres. Obama wants blacks to hate whites.

It didn't appear to me that either Representative Ellison nor Hannity's behavior could be described as 'explodes'. I don't think either one of them looked good on this exchange. I guess I would rather hear a give an take no matter who is asking the questions and who is answering them.

I'm so sick of people playing the Faux game. Every guest that goes on that sham of a network should say the exact same thing. I wonder how Faux would react to that?
