the 2nd Donald Trump/Joe Biden debate was called off by ABC TV
due to the COVID-19 affected Trump refused a virtual debate
ABC then aired a town hall event with Biden alone
but the competitor NBC got Trump for its town hall
many people wondered why give platform to Trump
well, the only motive is always money from whatever source
as in 2016 too, when Trump’s tantrums benefited TV channels
Trump was in good form; no visible sign he had had COVID-19
but this time he had a moderator who countered him on several issues
this didn’t go well with Trump supporters, including Hannity
Sean Hannity was mad at Savannah Guthrie for questioning Trump
“NBC fake news did their best to just ambush President Trump at tonight’s town hall.” “He pretty much debated Savannah Guthrie and what we all witnessed was not journalism. It was a political debate with the morning host of the ‘Today’ show serving as, well, Joe Biden’s surrogate and it didn’t really work out well for her.
“Questions, topics, tactics all reeking of nothing but pure political bias.” “… Savannah, you need to get out of the New York, liberal, elitist, out-of-touch bubble that you’re living in and maybe read some other news or take a step outside the far-left enclave that is conspiracy TV MSNBC DNC.”
it’s rare that Trump faces a person who forces him to answer questions
Hannity gives the mike to Trump and lets him talk whatever he wants to
Sean Hannity is a Trump buddy who calls him regularly after his show
he knows very well what Trump wants to hear and says those things
he’s crafty and introduces his own ideas into Trump’s head too
which creates a big problem for the White House staff to control Trump
a former White House official on Fox TV and Hannity
“A fucked-up feedback loop [that puts Trump] in a weird headspace. What ends up happening is Judge Jeanine [another Fox TV show host] or Hannity fill him up with a bunch of crazy shit, and everyone on staff has to go and knock down all the fucking fires they started.”
Hannity has a platform where he misleads tens of millions of people
Trump is responsible for killing over 223,000 people in the US
as he has consistently refused to recommend CDC guidelines
and has downplayed the severity of the COVID-19 penetration
Hannity and many others at Fox TV went along with Trump’s argument:
one day, the COVID-19 will go away and disappear completely
Hannity doesn’t care for the people who listen and watch his shows
he just lives for himself in his own ultra rich universe
Hannity makes $25 million each year hosting the talk show on Fox TV
FOX=Farts Of Xenophobes; that also serves as Trump’s mouthpiece
Hannity makes millions from books and gets $11 million for a radio show
he lives in a 10.5 million mansion in a New York village
it has only one way to enter/exit; police check every entering car
Hannity is also a very racist guy as exhibited by his stance on issues
many white supremacists and Trump, started the birther issue
i.e, Obama was a Kenya born Muslim born and can’t be US president
Hannity exploited the birther issue; once on his radio show, he offered
“I have an offer for the president. I will charter a plane for you and your family.”
“I will charter it to the country of your choice. You want to go to Canada? I’ll pay for you to go to Canada. You want to go to Kenya? I’ll pay for you to go to Kenya. Jakarta [in Indonesia], where you went to school back in the day, you can go back there.
“I have one stipulation: You can’t come back.”
if anyone has the right to say such a thing, it’s the Native Americans
if they had power, Hannity would be among the first to be deported
