Hannity is a Kremlin Tool

  1. Russians use Sean Hannity to attack Mueller probe


    Kremlin-linked trolls are using content from Fox News host Sean Hannity's website to bolster the campaign to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russian election interference, according to a report Wednesday.

    Mother Jones reported, using data from the Hamilton 68 dashboard compiled by the nonpartisan Alliance for Securing Democracy.

    On December 20, for example, after Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) claimed on Fox News that the FBI had worked against Trump's presidential campaign, Hannity tweeted, "CONSPIRACY: GOP Lawmakers Says FEDERAL CONSPIRACY to Prevent Trump Presidency." That day, Hannity's website was among the top 10 shared by the network of Russian trolls monitored by Hamilton 68.

    This happened again on January 18 when House Republicans called for Representative Devin Nunes (D-Calif.), who was accused by Democrats of attempting to derail the Mueller probe, to release a memo that supposedly provides evidence the FBI and the Justice Department conducted improper surveillance in relation to the Russia investigation. At the beginning of his program that night, Hannity directly addressed Mueller: "I have a message tonight for the special counsel, Robert Mueller. Your witch hunt is now over. Time to close the doors."

    Within the next 24 hours or so, analysis from Hamilton 68 showed the hashtag #releasethememo had been tweeted by 600 monitored Kremlin accounts approximately 3,700 times. These accounts exist in addition to nearly 3,000 Russian trolls uncovered by Twitter in November 2017.

    Critics of Fox News have accused the right-leaning news network of skewed covered of the Trump administration's alleged Kremlin ties. Carl Bernstein, one of the reporters who helped expose President Richard Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate break-in, said last year that Fox News was "abetting a cover-up” in relation to Mueller's probe.

    "The commentators that you are hearing and showing are not open in any way to the best obtainable version of the truth, to facts, context, who seem to be oblivious to the serial lying of the president of the United States and members of his family and staff—they are abetting a cover-up," Bernstein said in a CNN interview.

    Veteran broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw went as far as saying Fox News was on a "jihad" against the FBI in order to discredit the Mueller probe during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Brokaw said, "Fox News... is on a jihad right now on the whole question about whether there’s fairness about this or not. The whole assault is on the institutions."

    so apparently fbi and doj corruption is about to be exposed by Congress.
    The fib lost texts

    and its Trump in panic mode?
     
  7. The new tactic to discredit right wing views is to accuse them of being Russian bots. Now you're a Russian spy if your own tweets are RT'd by someone.
     

  8. Yes.

    Because the sissy, billionaire, gold-penthouse-owning Trump is REALLY a Russian spy. And he cannot extricate himself from Putin's mighty grip.

    And the tribute that Putin demands has already become clear in many areas.

    You off your meds again? WTF are you blabbing about, I don't see any panic on the right.

    Only panic going on is Schumer and the Senate Dems trying to find their asses after getting them kicked over placing DACA ahead of America.
