Hannity: Media supresses voting, by not reporting Dems gaffes
From media Matters:

Two days after imploring Democratic voters to "stay home," Hannity asserted the media have a "bias to sort of suppress voting"
Just two days after imploring Democratic voters during his nationally syndicated radio show to "stay home on Election Day ... for the sake of the nation," Sean Hannity asserted, during the October 20 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, that "the media seems somewhat complicit" in creating "an institutionalized bias to sort of suppress voting and take away initiative from people" because of a purported lack of coverage of gaffes by Democrats.

9. I wouldn't trust him to do any traffic report.
Now maybe something at the county fair, like the greased pig contest, he could report on!

5. Um, Hannity... when there's record turnout, the Democrat
always wins (unless the election is stolen by Diebold, that is).

Therefore, his premise is entirely incorrect to begin with.

Why are all our talk show hosts so stupid? :shrug:

7.  A nice observation about Sean Hannity: he’s a fool
…and a hypocrite.

8. If I were proud and ignorant I'd let someone suppress my vote sean
Nothing short of physical restraint or death will keep me from voting in any election, dumbass.

I guess sean didn't have time to provide bonafide examples to support his preposterous assertion. I recall in sophomore high school debate, a basic rule, "he who asserts, must prove.) (and that was 36 years ago.)

14. I used to worry about Hannity...
... and let my blood-pressure go through the roof whenever I saw him on the tee-vee. But even though he has an enormous market-share, I sense increasingly that people are on to him and his schtick. He's a clown and a buffoon and I really do believe that the people who take him seriously and the people who still give Bush a favorable rating are one and the same: a rag-tag band of dead-enders and muddle-headed losers. He's preaching to the freaks and drawing energy from them, too. I doubt he's winning any new adherents and I'm content to let him spew his nonsense into the ether; the only people buying it are the ones who still believe the emperor is wearing clothes. And NOTHING will change those "minds."

16. Is that the message from his WH meeting?
Hey Sean-

Lets make a list. Print all of the indictments, corruption, and scandels of both parties. I'll bet the R list will give you writer's cramp.
