Rep. Ellison Calls Hannity 'Worst Excuse For a Journalist I've Ever Seen'

[healthmyths]

Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) had an amazingly heated discussion with Fox News's Sean Hannity Tuesday evening.

At the beginning of the six-minute slugfest, Ellison called his host "the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen" leading to a truly ugly encounter that culminated in Hannity ending the interview by saying to his guest, "You are a total waste of time" (video follows with rough transcript and commentary):

HANNITY IS NOT A JOURNALIST!

He is a COMMENTATOR just as Sharpton is a commentator, Matthews a Commentator... THEY ALL have a position they take!

Journalism has developed a variety of ethics and standards. While objectivity and a lack of bias are often considered important.

Ellison is absolutely right. Journalists are supposed to be impartial and knowledgeable. Hannity is neither, and in a big way.

Hannity has never claimed to be impartial. He has never claimed to be a journalist. He has ALWAYS claimed to be a "conservative Commentator"......and that is exactly opposite to an impartial journalist.

So Ellison is wrong...and he acted like a child. You approve of his actions?

Liberals would approve. For one thing, they themselves are too stupid to understand that Hannity is not a journalist. Liberals lost journalists a long time ago so they no longer have a frame of reference as to what a journalist is or what they do. Keith Ellison may have shown profound ignorance by even referring to Hannity as a journalist, but liberals compound that ignorance by agreeing with him.

I guess they are even then because Ellison is among the worst excuses for a politician.

Really? Please post the parts of his record you disagree with.

Or, just tell the truth: you hate him because there's a D next to his name and/or because he's Muslim.

LOL

Well there's the Nazis bombed Pearl harbor claim, then there's his utopian dream of borders becoming irrelevant, his idolizing of Farrakhan, and the list goes on. He's a fucking embarrassment

Race, religion, or letter beside his name has fuck all to do with it, I'll leave that bullshit to you progressives.

The 9/11 troofer in Congress is a disgrace. What a disrespectful SOB. I saw the exchange. Hannity was calm and collective and even gave Ellison 3 mins in the 6 mins segment to rant and rave like a luntic without interrupting him. Then when it came to question time the disrespect poor excuse for a government official went onto personal attacks and outright lies!

Hannity played back specific sound bites from Obama!

Ellison should be on trial for treason, for his aiding the abiding terrorist groups by donating and raising money for them! This piece of shit needs to go!

 

[Katzndogz]

Ellison is one of the muslim brotherhood that has infiltrated the government. What should give someone pause, is that he has been elected by those who agree with him.

It's part of the growing divisions in the country.

Don't be to hard on Ellison I suspect no one has informed him Hannity is conservative commentator not a journalist lots of liberals have hard time seperating the two.

 

[healthmyths]

I watched the entire segment and what struck me was Ellison as the Democrats do ALL THE TIME is TaLK over the other person until the person like Hannity says enough!
NO dialogue. NO thinking on the part of a hysterical Ellison or Democrat!
ALL THE TIME the DEMOCRATS DEMOGOGUE!!
Democrats ALL THE TIME are hysterical. SHOUT LOUDEST and generally make themselves idiots!
Now for the sad part... 52% of Americans FEEL the same way! "I gotta be me"! What are you going to do for me!
Democrats like Ellison/Obama/et.al.. remind me of a pack of dogs.
Tearing a carcass snarling to protect their little piece... pack of wild dogs and Democrats with total disregard for anyone else.
Dogs...

He is as much a journalist as Chris Matthews, or anybody on the left. Fox and MSNBC are good for nothing more than entertainment. And if Ellison thought so little of Hannity's journalism why did he bother going on the show? If his purpose was to make a point then Hannity was right. He was a waste of time.

Hannity isn't a journalist.

Christopher John "Chris" Matthews (born December 17, 1945) is an American news anchor and liberal political commentator/ Despite having worked for Democrats, Matthews has said, "I'm more conservative than people think I am.... I voted for George W. in 2000."[11] Salon.com has called him the "most conservative voice" on MSNBC's primetime lineup.[12] Matthews has been accused by Media Matters for America[13] of having panels of guests that skew to the right and of supporting Republicans in his own questions and comments

Matthews worked in print media for 15 years, spending 13 years as Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner (1987–2000) and two years as a nationally syndicated columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Matthews covered the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first all-races election in South Africa, and the Good Friday Peace Talks in Northern Ireland. In 1997 and 1998, his research in the National Archives produced a series of exclusives on the Nixon presidential tapes. Matthews has covered American presidential election campaigns since 1988.

Hannity's not a journalist. Not even close.

he's a mean-spirited, race-baiting, right wing equivalent of Michael Moore.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

i saw the segment too....and Ellison came off as the snarling rabid muslim dog that he really is when cornered...

Ellison would not even let Hannity finish his question because he did not like the question and so he broke in and filibustered.....

Hannity however is the primo "Filibuster Buster"......he let Ellison have it with both barrels and the dog went snarling off the air....

Muslim Brothers like Ellison are basically the same as Lefties.....both want to have control of you....

I bet 10 to 1 you never listened to the guy, because he is anything but mean-spirited. He regularly has on liberals and gives them respect and silence when they are speaking. He isn't hateful in the least!

 

[NYcarbineer]

Hannity is an opinion guy. He's not a journalist. One would think a fucking Congressman would know the difference.

Of course I'm sure he was glad for the facetime on Hannity's show regardless of what he thought of Hannity's journalistic prowess.

The Congressmans an idiot.

You're an idiot.

Advocacy journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually...you are the idiot...or illiterate..you make the choice...

Paragraph 2 of your "definition"...

"advocacy journalists have an opinion about the story they are writing"

Hannity does not "write stories"

He comments on stories already written and reported on.

He is a commentator...not a journalist....not even an "advocacy journalist"

So there's no such thing as broadcast journalism?

lolol

The fact that you had to include the word "muslim" speaks volumes.

 

[Crackerjaxon]

Hannity is, indeed, a piss-poor excuse for a journalist. As someone ably pointed out, he is an editorialist. He's piss-poor at that, too.

Hannity is an embarrassment to conservatives, because he claims to be one. He's a joke and should be treated as such.

That said, the moonbarkers on the left can lay claim to such gems as Lawrence O'Donnell, Ed Schultz, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Wolf Blitzer.

Oddly, the moonbarkers take those clowns seriously.

Hannity (as all other opinion shows on FNC) always has guests of liberal persuation. But none of them ever behaved as despicably as Keith Ellison.

It is a safe bet that no conservative guest on any of the MSNBC opinion shows would act the way Ellison did. Mostly because there are hardly ever any such a guest on MSNBC.

BTW, what wrong with the people of Minnesota? Electing Ellison and Franken and Bachmann?

Would you call a person who says..
Last night[2/13/08] during MSNBC's Potomac Primary coverage, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann
were discussing Barack Obama's speech. Matthews — who, in the past, has both cried over an Obama speech and compared him to Jesus — described exactly what happens to him when Obama speaks
"I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often.
Chris Matthews: "I Felt This Thrill Going Up My Leg" As Obama Spoke

ALL you wrote is totally obliterated by Matthews unabased LOVE of Obama!

AND YOU can bet Matthews was part of this...

And when considering the MSM as a group would someone explain this if these are professional, OBJECTIVE UNBIASED "journalists"???

The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.

By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.

The average Republican contribution was $744.
