Fox News' Sean Hannity cancels appearance at Tea Party rally

Source: Cincinnati Enquirer

CINCINNATI - Conservative talk show host Sean Hannity has canceled his appearance tonight at the Cincinnati Tea Party Tax Day rally at Fifth Third Arena on the University of Cincinnati campus. A technical issue forced him to cancel the show and a book signing, according to Hannity staffers. He will do the show live from New York later tonight.

But the Los Angeles Times is reporting that angry Fox News executives pulled the plug on Hannity's appearance.

"Furious, top officials recalled Hannity back to New York to do his show in his regular studio. The network plans to do an extensive post-mortem about the incident with (John Finley, Hannity's executive producer) and Hannity's staff," the Times reported on its Show Tracker blog Thursday.

That report was confirmed to the Enquirer in a statement from Bill Shine, Fox News' executive vice president of programming.

Bwahaaahaaaaaa

I just drove through the crazy traffic of old white people around campus

How about just "crazy people" and let it go at that.

lordy, lordy---and i'm a crazy old sort of white lady---and *they* scare me!

But I live near a college and old white low information Republicans stick out like a sore thumb, near a campus

Evidently, some people were paying to get into the rally to see Sean. Now that their great white dope ain't gonna be able to show, I'll bet these folks rise up and get really, really mad!

:rofl: - who the fuck would pay to see Hannity?

Because holding a rally near at a University and several hospitals near rush hour is guaranteed to be a pain in the ass

I'll bet they had more than enough porta-potties! :rofl:

Fox News yanks Sean Hannity from Cincinnati Tea Party rally he was set to star in

What a complete idiot.

Hence why he didn't show up.

Read these two links, they explain what's going on with Murdoch

a half-full auditorium.

and they couldn't pay enough to any other blacks they could find to substitute for the one they use?

:woohoo: :woohoo:

Looks like Fixed Noise is none too happy that Politico has reported that they're sleeping in the same bed as the Teabaggers. Sean walked into a trap.

It is obviously true, and has been, but what story are you talking about?

Maybe Sean In-Sannity got pissed because they will not pay him to come.

A guy on a bike yelled at them because they kept blocking traffic.

I don't know if I by this excuse.

It was only last week when MURDOCH spoke up!

Excerpt: Last week, News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch said before a Washington, DC crowd that Fox News should not be supporting the movement.

So, it looks like 'some' things at Fox are a changin'

So, no change at all?

He's not going to support groups that want to oust incumbents. It's about $$$.

as much as we may like to sweep that under the rug.

Remember the Hillary Clinton fundraiser he had a couple years ago? The cognitive dissonance still hurts.

I believe Beck and Limbaugh to be pretty smart, in a street smart kind of way.

Hannity is truly, really dumb, and he believes the stuff he says.

but the really scary one is the Savage Wiener...he is pure evil.
