Fair & Balanced Frank Luntz gathers "average Americans" to share their thoughts on Sean Hannity


SEAN HANNITY, HOST: It might be the most frightening focus group we have ever done. Frank Luntz sat down with a group of Americans in the great state of Arizona — uh-oh — to ask them what they think of little old me. Uh-oh, I'm — I have not seen this. Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FRANK LUNTZ, POLLSTER: I have wanted to do this now for years. Let's see what average Americans think of you and what you do on television.

You're ready? Sean Hannity. Word or phrase.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Great American.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Patriot.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hard-line Catholic conservative Republican.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He talks a lot.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Very conservative.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Never heard of him.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sean's a great American.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: Talks — talks a lot. Well, that's what I do for a living. I talk a lot. That's a fair description.

LUNTZ: She said she'd actually like to have dinner with you.

HANNITY: Because I talk a lot. She did?

LUNTZ: She said it would be very interesting.

HANNITY: But why did you do — you did this without my knowledge. What possessed you? Because you had threatened to do this once before. So what was — what was the idea behind this?

LUNTZ: Because I want to understand how people feel about the hosts at FoxNews. I do more of these focus groups for you than anybody else.

1. Seriously emotionally disturbed. Blinded by irrational.
political partisanship. Wrong so often it's impossible to keep correcting him so he lives on Fox where being wrong is what you gets you a job in the first place. Once outside the small bubble he lives in, he cracks, as he did on Air America a few years ago. Since then, he has not been seen in the real world.
