Fox Host Sean Hannity Claims ‘Journalism is Dead’

📺Sean Hannity has spent his career in the media, relaying stories viewers want to know about.

But the 📺Fox News host came out and talked out how “📰Journalism is dead” in a recent interview of Press Club with Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin.

“📰Journalism is dead because all those people who claim they are journalists are talk show hosts like me,” Hannity said matter of factly. “It’s palpable, their rage and hatred toward Trump.”

Hannity was referring to the media’s relationship with President Donald Trump, who regained his seat in the Oval Office on Jan. 20.

“Fifteen years, and they don’t even try to understand the guy,” Hannity said. “None of them cared about the injustices. As far as I’m concerned, they all owe him an apology for how they treated him and the lies and conspiracy theories they peddled.”

Hannity has been a standard bearer for 📺Fox News since its inception in 1990.

Earlier this year, Hannity launched “Sean,” a show on the streaming service Fox Nation. The program focuses on politics.

Hannity continued in his interview with McLaughlin about the death of the fourth estate.

“And I said after this election, legacy media is dead. They’re dead, but they don’t know it yet,” he said. “What do I mean by that? They threw everything, including Mediaite, they threw everything they had at this man — everything. I actually made a list and wrote it down, which I never do for interviews because the list is so extensive. I’ll go over it with you — what they’ve gotten wrong and how it’s been corrupted. Most people on these other networks — the three major networks, two cable channels, The New York Times, The Washington Post — what did Jeff Bezos lose? How many hundreds of thousands of readers?”

He suggested The New York Times is not at relevant as it once was.

“There’s a reason they’ve lost people,” he said. “If you’re going to be a content provider and you want to be successful, you better tell your audience the truth, news, and information they’re not going to get anywhere else. You have to become a value add in people’s lives. At the end of the day, that’s the conclusion — if you want to be successful, whatever format you take on,” he added.
