Fox News Staffers FURIOUS That Hannity Campaigned With Trump & Called Them Fake News
In a recent discussion ignited by events surrounding Sean Hannity and Donald Trump's final campaign rally before the 2018 Midterm Elections, Fox News staffers have expressed outrage over Hannity's actions. The incident raised eyebrows and sparked conversation within the media sphere, notably among those employed by Fox News.
During the rally, Hannity, who had previously communicated that he would merely be interviewing Trump, stepped onto the stage and publicly berated the media, branding them all as "fake news." This unexpected turn left many Fox employees feeling betrayed and angry, as Hannity's comments directly contradicted the assurance that he would not take part in the event in that capacity.
One employee shared their frustration, stating, "It disturbs me to my core. I'm so effing mad," reflecting a widespread sentiment among the staff. They had been led to believe Hannity would simply conduct an interview, and the betrayal felt by some staff members was palpable. Another employee expressed their disbelief about how the situation unfolded, saying, "We were all told Hannity was going to interview the President, but no one expected what happened last night."
The irony is not lost on observers, as these reactions underscore a long-standing concern about the culture at Fox News, where sensationalism often outweighs journalistic integrity. The video encapsulates a complex mix of professional jeopardy and personal ethics in the ever-evolving landscape of media reporting.
This incident serves as a reminder of the contentious relationship between certain media figures and the outlets they represent, fueling ongoing debates about trust, responsibility, and the definition of "real news."
