Hannity Brags Of Influence Over Stephanopoulos: ‘I Suggested The Question.’


The bombastic lad strikes again..
Thinkprogress:


Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity boasted of his success in influencing ABC News Chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos to ask Barack Obama a question about the Weather Underground in a recent debate.
After being lobbied by Hannity, Stephanopoulos asked Obama about his connections to William Ayers, a former member of the radical anti-Vietnam organization Weather Underground. “Now of course, the liberal blogs are losing their minds in part because I suggested the question to George Stephanopoulos Tuesday afternoon on my radio show,” Hannity proudly declared last night.
In an exchange with one of show’s guests — Democratic strategist Michael Brown – Hannity bragged of having written the talking points on the Ayers issue:
BROWN: Republicans clearly like this. Your friends clearly like this. You’re all reading from the same talking points sheet.
HANNITY: We actually wrote these points, Michael. Nice cheap shot.
BROWN: So you’re bragging that you wrote the points.

Hannity busted Charlie and George in their lie. Even the Executives believed Charlie and George even as both gave their press report only to find out later Hannity let the cat out the bag. ( sorry Mr. Kitty ) Fox News just destroyed Charlie Gibson's reputation as George was doing it to keep a job.
Now ABC will have to look for another honest reporter like Peter Jennings as Gibson bombed out royally.
