It’s not enough that Sean Hannity has turned his show into a non-stop Donald Trump infomercial. Now, he’s suggesting that any journalist who isn’t a Trump sycophant like himself is no journalist at all.

Last night, Hannity said at the opening of his show:

HANNITY: And tonight, President-elect Donald Trump beats down the abusively biased alt radical left mainstream media. Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway will join us in a few minutes. But first, the president-elect is now fighting back against the press that openly colluded with the Clinton campaign and that tried to undermine his candidacy every single step of the way.

This, from the guy who flew colleague Newt Gingrich to meet with Trump in order to push Gingrich as a VP pick; from the network that leaked information about a debate question to Trump before the first Republican candidates’ debate; from the network whose CEO was advising Trump as early as June, 2015.

Hannity went on to suggest that CNN is not worthy to cover Hannity’s beloved Trump because contributor Van Jones “viciously attacked Donald Trump on a consistent basis.”

This would be funny were it not so despicable. Jones is a contributor because he’s paid to give his opinion. So is Hannity but he does it for a full hour, five nights a week. It’s hard to think of anyone who spends more time viciously attacking anyone he disagrees with politically. How much time did Hannity devote to meritless smears about Hillary Clinton's health? Hannity also helped promote his beloved Trump’s bogus birtherism. And how about Hannity’s campaign to promote criminal Cliven Bundy’s armed insurrection against the U.S.? I could go on and on about Hannity’s viciousness but I think you get the idea.

Nevertheless, this blight on the news profession had the nerve to hold himself up as some kind of standard bearer for journalism:

HANNITY: The media already had its chance to cover Donald Trump fairly and honestly. They blew it. And in my opinion, it’s time to reevaluate the press in this country, and maybe it’s time to change the traditional relationship that the press will have with the White House. In this day and age of Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, does Trump really need to be granting access to biased journalists that openly oppose him? Look at the video the president-elect released yesterday. It was detailing actions that he will take on key issues during his first 100 days in office. Now, Trump can do this and speak directly to you, the America people, without having his words twisted and taken out of context. Why not do that? Until members of the media come clean about colluding with the Clinton campaign and admit that they knowingly broke every ethical standard that they’re supposed to stand and uphold, they should not have the privilege, they should not have the responsibility of covering the president on behalf of you, the American people.

So who is supposed to have the responsibility of covering the president? Only brown-nosers like Hannity?

Hannity’s colleague Juan Williams explained in an op-ed why a press pool is an important part of American democracy, not a self-serving privilege of access.

But Hannity didn't even consider that. To him, it's democracy shmemocracy. All he seems to care about is political power.

Sean Hannity: not just a disgrace to cable news but a disgrace to America, too.
